Mobil › Engine oil

Engine noise:

On that note, I currently have tried VW Oil from the dealer, Mobil 1, and Kendall Fully Synthetic and have determined that Mobil 1 5W-30 is the best mass-market oil out there to use. I run it 10,000 miles and the motor is as smooth as ever.

Pros: motor is smooth

Cons: louder with kendall oil

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Mileage: 28600 km

Hella › Headlights

Brightness:

The best bag for the buck is a set of Hella e-codes w. +50% bulbs like Phillips Vision Plus or Osram Silverstars. You will not be diasppointed w/ the perfromance. I've had almost every set of lights for a MKIV and I like regualr e-codes(either projector or reflector) over OEM HIDs.

Pros: good performance, not disappointed

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Body bounce:
Bottoming:

So I dumped the KONI Sport and opted for the Bilstein HD with stock springs and a rear bar. What a dramatic difference, still a comfortable ride and very tight around corners.

Pros: comfortable ride, tight corners

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Ride comfort:

Essentially, these tires are fantastic, as stated in my original post. They are quiet. I base this on driving the car 1200 miles in one go from Seattle to LA; I felt that I suffered very little ear fatigue and did not have to try and \"crank\" the radio to be able to hear my music. In daily driving, the tires are solid performers. It is easy to double or more the \"yellow sign\" speed on freeway corners. I have put approximately 2 track days on these tires. They are much more impressive in terms of low speed cornering, as I have been unable to cause significant understeer exiting tight corners at full throttle. There high speed grip (on track) did leave a little to be desired, however this feels more like a reflection of the suspension geometry of the vehicle than the fault of the tire (not enough camber gain). If you would like some sort of concrete comparison of how these tires perform, I can only tell you they performance wise out performed any previous tire I've driven on. I also passed an NSX in the corners of Streets of Willow Springs; grip is not an issue. Lastly, rain performance. LA is a brutal test of wet grip, because if the ground is wet in LA you are actually testing OIL grip. I have only experienced traction issues when accelerating in the rain; if you spin the tires on acceleration, you'll actually have some trouble getting them hooked up again. Hydroplaning seems to be managed very well; braking in wet weather is similarly impressive. *edit* Actually last is wear. The tires wear well. I ruined the fronts pretty bad in two track days because of the Jetta's atrocious suspension setup and weight balance, but normal street driving does not phases these. After 8000 miles including two track days the rear tires show maybe 15% treadwear, I've found this tire to be effective as a street tire in Seattle, LA, and a decent tire on the race track. At $70 a tire for 205/50/R15, you CANNOT go wrong.

Pros: quiet, solid performers, good wear

Cons: high speed grip desired

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Mileage: 8000 km

Aim:

I currently have on my car a set of depo/helix smoked angel eye headlights. One of the adjusters on the passenger side light has broke. The headlights themselves are in good shape, i would rate them about 7 out of ten. there are some nics in them from the previous owner being a daily driver, that seems to be the only problem minus the broken adjuster mechanism.

Pros: good shape

Cons: broken adjuster mechanism

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Leaks:

DON'T put an FRAM filter! They are crap! Complete! When you remove an FRAM oil filter the filtering element (paper) comes off all mashed up as cellulose goo, then you know FRAM is a piece of crap!

Cons: They are crap, filtering element comes off

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta
