The VW accessory sun shade for the Golf Mk7 (what VW calls a sunshield) is part # 5GM-064-366. I've used one for years and it works well.
I ordered Centric blanks and powerstop z23 pads off of Rockauto after doing a lot of research. Have had them on my 2016 GTI for 6 months or so. No regrets, they're great. AND super cheap.
I went with Zimmermann discs for their cost and have had no issues with them.
I put the z23 pads and drilled and slotted rotors on my golf mk7.5 and virtually no dust.
I ride the tires at 42 psi and currently w/ new Cooper Instincts at 44 psi returning comparable mileage.
I use Michelin 235 40 18 4S on my MK7 with Neuspeed RSe12 8"x18" and the grip is a tick better than the standard size. This combo is also lighter than the stock wheels and tires...and along with the suspension modifications, it's a difficult subject to try to quantify. I am always concerned with wheel and tire weight...that drives my decision making...if you like the look of a 19" rim, go for it. I think that you will find a larger variable between tire types and widths where ultimate grip is concerned...steering response is in theory better with a lower profile tire, but sidewall construction will also affect steering response with a similar tire size range.
Vredestein Quatrac Pro All Weather tires were used about 8 -9 months - approximately 6K miles. Excellent condition. 2 Tires have 9/32” wear, one with 8/32" and last one just under 8/32" (new is 10/32)
I've had the AS4 on my Mk7.5 GTI, but just about every review ranks the cheaper Conti as the better all around tire.
I'm running the Passat arms with RS3 bushings. Honestly, they haven't made a lick of difference other than maybe being a little noisier. There are better ways to spend your money.
I have also tried three different level sensors (My original, and new Febi and new JPGroup). I would hope that’d be good enough, but if you’re saying these sensors all suck and all leak coolant through the pins, and it’s a crapshoot, I don’t know what to say to that.
