Power:

Well if it matters I just hit 108k miles on my k03s. Been chipped since around 60k. Added a tbe at around 80k. I used whatever the dealer told me to use for my warranty period (50k) changed every 5k miles. I switched to full synthetic since then and still change every 5k. Change the plugs every 40k until I switched to the NGK 7Es which I change every 10k. Timing belt every 60k, fuel filter every 50 along with tranny fluid. I just hit 108k yesterday and I still have the original clutch and dv.

Pros: original clutch, original dv

Sachs › Clutch kit

Engagement smoothness:
Noise:

Here is a recent review from the MK4 Golf & Jetta Forum. It was using the 16.5 Steel Billet Flywheel (1.8T) and a stock 02M Sachs clutch kit. Pedal feels exactly as it did stock, and as it should since the Sachs kit is an OEM replacement. Engagement with the lightweight flywheel however is very crisp and responsive. The car itself actually runs and idles MUCH better with the 16lb flywheel and believe it or not, the chatter is very, VERY minimal. Any chatter is only audible from the outside of the car, if you listen carefully. To give you an idea of how feint it is, I've heard Miatas with louder valve noise, and Injectors louder than what I suspect is the actual chatter. All in all, the price is right, the performance is there and a great upgrade for everyone. Still very daily driveable and i'm very glad I dealt with James.

Pros: crisp and responsive engagement

Cons: minimal chatter

Mobil › Engine oil

Engine noise:

about 4 weeks ago i did a 10w 30 mobil 1 synthetic oil change in my obd1 vr6 mk2. i find with this i can hear more of what is going on under the hood and may b i'm getting parranoid over normal noises that are just amplified b/c of the intake everything coming from the motor seems louder. lifters i'm assuming esspecially when motor is cold. but oddly there is also a weird \"diesel\" sound...pinging?...around 3200 rpm.. Nothing before or after once motor is warm i notice it as well during coasting deceleration.

Pros: can hear more

Cons: weird diesel sound
