BRISK › Spark plug

Peylix 11 Aug 2023, 19:29

Rating 4.0

Brisks are great plugs. Do be warned however, their groundstraps are softer than others and open gap much sooner vs other plugs. So you'll be checking them much more often and changing them sooner than the usual 10-15k tuned interval.

Pros: great plugs

Cons: softer groundstraps, open gap

Castrol › Engine oil

Rating 5.0

Walmart carries jugs of Castrol Edge SPT 0w40 A3/B4 for much less than quarts at AutoZone

Run it in my R, wife's GTI, and even ran it in a WRX I used to have. It's good oil, the analyses I've sent in over the years don't lie!

Pros: good oil, analyses don't lie

OEM Volkswagen › Water pump

XDleader555 22 Mar 2023, 17:47

Rating 3.0

Leaks:
Overheating:

Generally the OEM plastic water pump only lasts as long as the timing belt interval. I wouldn't rule it out since the overflow water you might be seeing could just be water which is expanding or boiling as you increase the engine speed.

Pros: lasts timing belt interval

Cons: plastic water pump

Leaks:
Overheating:

I was sitting at an In-n-Out drive-in when the low coolant warning dinged. Drove it the 2 mi home while keeping an eye on temps and popped the hood. The overflow tank was 75% empty and there was an apparent leak. By the end of the hour, it was completely dry. Got it towed to the local dealership and it took a day to diagnose and another day to get my car back. I'm grateful it didn't blow during my little road trip.

Cons: catastrophic leak, tank empty, towed
