First my intention was only to clean and repaint callipers, but when I've started cleaning I realized that it would be stupid not to rebuild them.

Overheating:

I will will just add that I have a 2L 16V running no oil cooler and an early Mk1 radiator with built-in overflow tank, two pin thermostat, short 5th gear, and the car does fine in a traffic jam and with spirited driving.

Pros: does fine in traffic

Cons: null

Exhaust smoke:

I'm at 50k using M1 0W-40 at around a 8k oil change interval. Did the first change at 5k. Ran it up to 10k for the last change. Not burning a drop of oil. That is like a miracle for a VAG engine.

Pros: Not burning any oil

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 72420 km

Engine noise:

i been using it religiously for now 85k miles, i have tried Quartz Ineo 5W30 502 Spec oils made my engine produce more heat and valvetrain noises. The Castrol Edge 0W40 I use now tops out at 212, normally sitting between 205 and 210. With the 5W30 Quartz it was constantly sitting at 227-237 which is pretty significant.

Pros: lower engine temperatures, no valvetrain noises

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 136794 km

Part number: EDGE 0W40

this oil is my most trusted, been using it since new with the best results ( i tried Mobil1 0W40 and a 5W30 Total Quartz once each and oil temps were 15-20 degrees hotter in similar ambient temps and conditions with both of those so i decided not to use them again).

Pros: best results, lower oil temperatures

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Part number: 0W40 EDGE EURO FORMULA

Grip:

I'll be rocking my 225/50/17 Nokian Haka R2's on my Alltrack again this winter. Absolutely wonderful winter tire, I love everything about them, amazing on ice unstoppable in deep snow. My wife's 2015 Golf has 205/65/15 XIce XI2's which are great on ice, but maybe not quite as good as the R2's, I do find they are not nearly as good as the R2's in snow. Before you say it's an apples to oranges comparison, I used to have 205/60/16 Haka R's on my 2010 TDI Sportwagen so I know what these tires are like on a FWD car.

Pros: amazing on ice, unstoppable in deep snow
