When I bought my (new) 2002 Jetta, I did quite a bit of research on the various synthetic oils for turbo diesel engines. I came away the most impressed with Mobil Delvac-1 in the SILVER jug. The numbers that were available online seemed to suggest that this was one of the better choices. I've run Delvac-1 since my Jetta's first oil change. Not the cheapest synthetic out there, but I've been happy with what I've seen.

Pros: one of the better choices, happy with what I've seen

Cons: not the cheapest synthetic

Bottoming:

I have H&R sports, koni yellows and live in Edmonton (which anyone will tell you has worse winters than toronto ). As far as winter driving is concerned, I haven't had an issue with ride height at all. Koni yellows on full soft with the H&R sports gives a nice controlled ride, slightly on the firm side, but nice.

Pros: nice controlled ride

Cons: slightly on the firm side

HELIX › Headlights

Brightness:
Aim:

Taking the challenge, I bought the headlights to give them a whirl. The housings fit great in the front clip assembly. Body lines and overall fit + finish is spectacular for aftermarket lights. And the price is reasonable compared to hard to find and overly expensive OEM HIDs.

Pros: great fit and finish

Cons: aiming needs shimming

OEM Volkswagen › Alternator

Alternators don't make good battery chargers and if your alternator is on its way out then it may not be able to charge the battery. A fully charged battery measures 12.6V when the car is not started. When it's discharged by 75% then it measures 12.4V. if it's like 12V then it's totally dead. When you start the engine and the alternator turns, at idle you should have at least 13.4 Volts. If it's less than this then try reving the RPM's to like 2000rpm. You now should have at least 13.4V. If you don't then you have a problem either with the regulator or you have a bad diode.

Pros: fully charged battery 12.6V

Cons: alternator not battery charger
