Koni yellows. I have run them on my GLI and currently my MkVI GTI and they are great with lowering springs.
I put Bilstein b6 on mine but you’d have to probably do the front too if not going with OEM stuff. I also put 034 mounts which are fine on the front but I’m about to go back to stock on the back due to noise.
I've added only one quart of oil to all the VWs I have owned over the past 35 years. I check the oil every 3 months, and get the oil and filter changed annually. I don't think that modern engines consume oil, at least, not for the first 100K miles of their life.
After 6 months of ownership, I have not lost any oil/ needed to add any oil. My MK7 1.8 TSI Golf SportWagen was the same way. Never needed to add a drop between the 10k mile oil changes. Not complaining at all. Quite the contrary. Just hit 6000 miles and the oil still looks new. I was originally planning on 5k mile oil changes but decided 7500 miles makes more sense for me at least.
Every other oil change I run a bottle of liqui molly diesel purge when I replace the fuel filter. Most reliable car I've ever had.
I have a 2015 golf tdi and have had good luck with Mobil 1 ESP.
I bought four of these from the Audi dealership and slapped them into my MK5 GTI when I replaced the spark plugs. They work but they aren’t any performance upgrade. I got ‘em because the car is also red ????
Options like APR's and RS3 coils offer very little if at all over factory other than looking pretty.
I think I went over 60 days without my 2016 Golf R due to a dead battery. A bunch of us had battery issues, I want to say around 2 years, and VW switched production or something. Batteries were out of stock and waiting on new production from Germany.
