NANKANG › Tires

Hellenic Vanagon 16 Sep 2023, 20:27

Rating 5.0

Grip:
Ride comfort:

Approaching 15.000 km with them, (225 50 r15), thought that may be interesting to refer my impressions. They are perfect off road and on road at 200km/h +, never detecting slippage under rain or in sharp turns. EDL and ABS rarely engaged, (both working perfectly). There are no signs of premature wear, neither they are loosing pressure.

Pros: perfect off road, no slippage

Cons: Nankang does not recommend

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Mileage: 15000 km

Warning light:
Engine noise:
Exhaust smoke:

I ran this exact oil in my late B5.5 1.8T, and it worked great, until some lady blew a stop sign, t-boning me and totaling my car. But it wasn't the fault of the oil, lol.

Pros: worked great

Braking:

I already have installed front 345mm rotors and calipers/carriers/shields/lines) from a 2008 R32/Passat V6 4-MO. So that works.

Pros: works well

ATE › Speed sensor

Speed reading:
Warning light:

Did you replace the speed sensor with OEM part? I think they are ATE brand but that was on my 2016 passat. I had put in aftermarket speed sensors at one point which were doing exact thing you are experiencing. Changed to OEM ate part and everything was perfect.

Pros: everything was perfect

Cons: aftermarket sensors problematic

ZF › Steering rack

Leaks:
Noise:

So the ZF steering rack finally got through customs and arrived safe and sound - thanks UPS. The rack is originally from a VR6 Passat so in theory should be up to the task. Got it installed and hooked up and so far no leaks. Immediately I noticed the pump is a lot quieter connected to this rack than it was when connected to the TRW rack which makes me think the TRW rack couldn't handle the pressure coming from the pump? Or maybe there was just something wrong with it internally. So far no leaks from the ZF rack so fingers crossed it'll hold up well when I get it back on the ground and go for a test drive.

Pros: pump is a lot quieter, no leaks

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Play:

I can confirm, I had to change the rack on my 2001.5 Passat because the steering wheel was loose and they are in fact interchangeable.

Pros: interchangeable rack

Cons: steering wheel was loose

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

KONI › Shock absorbers

Rating 3.0

Bottoming:

I installed them with the ECS 23mm bar. In retrospect I can't justify the additional price over say a Bilstein B6 (I installed those on my previous Jetta). I thought they would be smoother/more expensive riding than the Bilsteins, but you can still pick up every little expansion joint and imperfection in the road....unless that's what you are going for.

Pros: improves cornering

Cons: feel every imperfection

OEM Volkswagen › Water pump

VincePassatB6 3 Jul 2022, 05:19

Rating 2.0

Overheating:

I am now at about 55k and the water pump failed on it causing it to overheat. I learned that the 2015 gen 3 TDIs have a variable water pump that fails quite often causing overheating - just a matter of time.

Cons: water pump failed, overheating

DUNLOP › Tires

Rating 1.0

Noise:

About 2 years ago I had 4 Dunlop Conquest Touring tires installed on my 2015 Passat. About 5 months ago, less than 15,000 miles we noticed a groaning sound coming from the passenger side rear. I had all 4 tires rotated and now the noise is coming from the passenger side front. This was more annoying than having the groaning noise come from the rear so we had them rotated back again. The \"dealer\" said it was due to cupping and that's common with Dunlop.

Cons: groaning sound, cupping
