MICHELIN › Tires

Grip:
Ride comfort:

I live in NE and got Michelin Alpin 4s and like them quite bit. Its not too crazy here and if we get deep snow I have other options. We have an SUV I can use and since the pandemic I can work from home which is a huge help. I haven't driven in snow in years. If you only have the R as your daily and MUST drive in snow then I agree with the above statement that pure winter tires are a better choice. For me the Alpins ride quite nicely and don't feel squirmy or get hard as a rock when the temp drops.

Pros: ride quite nicely

Cons: winter tires are squirmy

OEM Volkswagen › Clock spring

Steering wheel controls:
Airbag light off:

Got time to install my replacement clockspring and my 2012 vw beetle sterling wheel setup. It gives me the shape of a mk7 wheel, while still having the mk6 button layout. Everything works apart from clearing airbag light that been there for a year.

Pros: mk6 button layout

Cons: clearing airbag light

EBC › Brake pads

Braking:
Noise:

Now that you have an actual motorsports caliper I would highly advise looking into EBC's SR-11 or SR-21s pads.

They are THE ONLY pad that will take some insane abuse on track, still be whisper quiet on the street, and work just as well at 0 degrees as they do at 1000 degrees.

Myself and a handful of other guys run them in time attack and I seriously have zero complaints. You honestly won't find a better pad, if you happen to have a caliper they fit in.

Pros: insane abuse on track, whisper quiet

Bosch › Fuel pump

Noise:

Another suggestions though I will admit not ideal you can get fuel surge tanks for very cheap on Smeebay load it up with a Bosch pump and they can work for some engines depending on your fuel pressure and flow needs. I have gone this route before before I could get my hands on a Mk3 fuel tank with the intank pump setup, however I will say without the proper isolation between the surge tank and chassis the noise from the pump can be annoying. At the end of the day the surge tank didnt leak and worked well for about a year before I scored 2 Mk3 tanks for my projects.

Pros: didnt leak, worked well

Cons: pump noise can be annoying

LIQUI MOLY › Fuel filter

Power:

I poured in the whole bottle when changing fuel filters recently, and the engine seemed to run quieter with better fuel efficiency right afterward.

Pros: quieter engine, better efficiency

VALEO › Wiper blades

Wipe quality:
Streaks/chatter:

Then, I'd recommend swapping your blades over to these from Valeo: Pay no attention to the Amazon listing for size/compatibility - VM387 is specifically for Golf MK7 models. I went through multiple types and brands of wiper blades years ago trying to solve chattering/skipping issues and these have proven to be the best quality, smoothest, and longest lasting by far.

Pros: best quality, smoothest

Cons: chattering, skipping issues

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Part number: VM387

Starting:
Stalling:

If this pump wasn\u2019t leaking, I doubt it would have run properly. Some parts weren\u2019t moving freely.\u2026 the governor collar needed to be pried off, lubed, and exercised to slide normally. Advance piston was also frozen.

Pros: cleaner than before

Cons: parts weren't moving freely

FEBI › Heater core

Cabin heat:

I found a Febi unit it at a local euro parts dealer that somehow always has the most obscure mk2 parts in stock when I need them. Ill give the Febi a try but if this one fails I'll have to bypass it like a hack.

Cons: might fail
