Just got these Pirelli Cinturato Weatheractives mounted onto my Jetta GLI. Makes a whole world of difference between the Stock Hankook Kinergy GTs and the shitty Yokohama YK-GTXs that I had before
I used the genuine part as there is no desire to redo it again too soon.
I’ve bought both for my Jetta. The X-Ice worked great in our winter conditions. The X-Ice have a 60k tread wear warranty and the Blizzaks have none. The X-Ice are also made at the Michelin Pictou plant so they support Nova Scotian jobs.
I ran xp10s on a Jetta with no issues. They got really really hot, but no fade or loss of pressure. It was so hot it melted the tabs that held the plastic center cap on my wheel.
I have them on my GLI and they're great.
Using the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and the ride has been phenomenal until now. Amazing grip and silent too on high speeds. Just that they're quite expensive compared to other brands. Currently done 30k kms on them. Had a sidewall rupture once which fortunately got covered under warranty.
Cat went out, so I got a high flow, ported and polished, cammed, and tuned the 2.slow to make…. 127whp……. A FOURTY HORSEPOWER INCREASE….. and nearly unheard of for an AEG……
Varies too widely, my trans am takes conventional oil and inexpensive filter and is an easy job, while a Porsche 911 requires removal of the oil pan and expensive oil, while my emission cheating Jetta only can use $10/qt special oil. Can be from $40-400.
I replaced it with a Mahle VS50515, put a very thin layer of oil on it so it doesn't bind, cleaned all the bolts, and torqued them down to 10Nm using the bolt pattern in the earlier post. 2 weeks later, it's starting to seep all around. The gasket doesn't look like it's seated properly, with some places clearly not straight
I picked up a 07 jetta 2.5 from the auction for a good deal and only 95k on it. The problem is the battery is not charging, figured ok needs new alternator put a bosch unit in and it is still not charging the battery. Put multi meter to the post on alternator and it is only putting off 11.5v.
