BRIDGESTONE › Tires

DrMartens 21 Aug 2018, 15:19

Rating 4.0

Grip:
Ride comfort:

Correct they're renamed RE-11's. I only use them for summer since I'm in the Chicago area. I've had them on the car for three summer's now and they're pretty much done for now but that includes a couple track days per summer. They're probably about 90% of the PSS in the end they lack the ultimate grip of the PSS but at about a 1/3 of the price. I'd wager I've put about 25k on them in the three summers which is pretty good for a summer only tire.......

Pros: good for summer, good price

Cons: lack ultimate grip

OEM Volkswagen › Windshield

Pacoflyer 8 Aug 2018, 12:14

Rating 4.0

Clarity:

Recently had the Windshield replaced on our 18 R. We insisted on VW glass. Only thing I've noticed is some slight oozing of the goo inside. We didn't have it recalibrated and the lane departure works fine as do the Adaptive Cruise.

Pros: VW glass, lane departure works

Cons: slight oozing of goo

Chips/cracks:

Recently had my windshield replaced due to large crack from rock. 2017 golf R with DAP. I went to the dealer to have it done, but they do have to have a \"window\" company come in as they do not install glass. However, with the OEM front windshield and install I paid $540 otd. I think with the OEM glass and an installer they has done these before, which I did check beforehand, I think that's a pretty good price. No calibration was required as I used OEM glass which contains required guides for DAP install. So far no issues and DAP related features working just as before.

Pros: OEM glass, good price

Cons: no calibration required

I noticed a huge difference in how clean the oil was midway between changes when I went to a Mann filter from a Purolator filter.

EBC › Brake pads

fmdono 10 Jul 2018, 16:26

Rating 5.0

Braking:

With EBC Yellowstuff Pads and Motul Fluid I was fade-free during multiple 25 minute sessions at my local 2.5 mile track. My front brake rotors read a temp of 650 degrees at the end of each session with ambient air temp of about 85 degrees.

Pros: fade-free during track sessions

But I will say the pads are great, they stop well, they never squeak...but man my iron-x budget is going fast.

Pros: stop well, never squeak

Cons: horrendous dust

Centric › Brake pads

Rating 4.0

Braking:
Dust:

Continuing to drive on them this way will not make the pad deposits go away. Trust me. I have the same ceramic pads on our 3 vehicles (golf r included). Centric posi quiets. They are great pads with great cold bite and minimal dust. But if you overheat them and stay on the brake pedal at a stop, like any other pad, it will embed pad material onto the rotor.

Pros: great cold bite, minimal dust

Cons: embed pad material

Bosch › Starter motor

Rating 3.0

Cranking:

It killed what is left of my soul but I mickey moused it. All the starters that match at the parts stores (bosch, ac delco etc) lack the correct plug. Used a couple ugly .250" flat connectors. how embarassing.

Cons: lacks correct plug

OEM Volkswagen › Engine oil

golftimemachine 7 Feb 2016, 16:15

Rating 1.0

Engine noise:

My Mk4 Golf is at 146000. And I've religiously changed oil and filter every 4000. One time I let this synthetic oil go for 9000 miles, it caused pre-ignition and destroyed 2 sparkplugs, needed a tow, and a expensive sparkplug replace at VW.

Cons: caused pre-ignition, destroyed sparkplugs

Mileage: 146000 km
