Bosch › Wiper blades

saabn 15 Feb 2019, 13:54

Rating 5.0

Noise:

Finally swapped out noisy originals with Bosch Icon 24 OE + Bosch Icon 19 OE. Huge improvement. Why did I put up with the old ones for so long? Note - Icons come in three styles as referenced up thread, A or B versions will not work. The OE Version comes with multiple adapters, out of the box it fits PTB 19mm wiper arms. 2019 Jetta uses 16mm PTB (aka narrow PTB). So just pry the #2 adapter off the blade, click on the #4 adapter, and install on the wiper arm. Voila - silent wipes!

Pros: huge improvement, silent wipes

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Bounce:

I like the bilstein touring struts. They are a great value for a slightly sportier than stock strut.

Pros: great value, sportier than stock

Trico › Wiper blades

OK, I couldn't take it anymore. I went to Advanced Auto Parts and got new blades. Their in-store system does not have 2019 Jetta's in it's database. Luckily I had my trusty iPhone and Google. Trico "Onyx" high-performance beam blades 26-240 (24" driver's side blade) 26-190 (19" passenger side blade). Cost = Too much. $41.00 - but I've got too much going on right now to schedule a trip to the stealership - so I paid for the convenience of the local parts store. Ease of install = RTFM and you'll be OK. These blades require you swap a supplied adapter into them. The arms are the narrow push button arms, so just follow the instructions with the blades to install the right adapter. Also, read the VW owner's manual to put the arms into "service" position. All easy if you read the manuals. Blades seem great - no rain today, but multiple applications of wiper fluid and using the blades returns, well, nothing. Dead silent.

Pros: dead silent, easy install

Cons: cost too much

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Part number: 26-240, 26-190

Nissin › Engine radiator

Overheating:

For new parts to install, I have Autotech headers, USRT Smartshift linkage, a new Bosch O2 sensor, Autobahn Autoworx silicone coolant hoses, proper G11 coolant, and a Nissin replacement radiator.

Pros: new parts to install

BRIDGESTONE › Tires

Ride comfort:

I agree, very quiet compared to my Bridgestone Ecopia 422 plus H, better traction wet and dry...better handling too. Expansion joint crossings are quieter than my Bridgestones as well.

Pros: better traction, better handling

Cons: visually busy sidewall

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Ride comfort:

I did just put these tires on my wife's 2016 jetta sport. They have 3k miles on them already in the past month and they are great. Quiet on the highway (though when you hit expansion joints it's kinda loud) ride good and handling/traction for wet, dry and the little bit of snow we got was pretty impressive too for an all season tire.

Pros: quiet on highway, good handling

Cons: loud on expansion joints

Bosch › Wiper blades

Wipe quality:
Streaks/chatter:

The driver's side one on mine bounces at the bottom sometimes. What I did was replace it with a Bosch 22" one vs. the OEM 24" size. That solved it for me. Additionally, it annoys me that the passenger-side wiper travels smack into my field of vision, creating an annoying line on the window in the rain that makes visibility tough sometimes. Really poorly though-out wiper design.

Pros: solved bouncing problem

Cons: poorly though-out design

Some mk6's have the 272mm rotors and some have the 253mm. I found out the hard way when I ordered the standard Stoptech Street Performance pads. Had to reorder.

Cons: had to reorder

Bosch › Oil filter

After much searching and reading DIY threads, I didn't see any mention of springs for the filter. Your replies confirmed it so I was confident enough to throw the Bosch setup in the trash.

Cons: threw setup in trash
