Put a used w8 rack in that had 66k on it. Tested it out before I buttoned it all up, seemed great. Buttoned it all up, drove a few miles on a test drive, no issues or noises at all.
Reviews of spare parts for Volkswagen Passat
The ones you bought replace the factory halogen headlights, which are not xenon.
Next battery I am going to put in my Passat is going to be something made by Exide . I mentioned before that I changed my OE battery in the winter 2007-2008, was concerned with low temperatures of this winter, but battery seems to do very well, started at 9*F and still work without a problem.
I HIGHLY suggest Falken Azenis PT722. My local Audi Indy shop is practically getting all of their customers on these after they had it on their performance Audis.... And they loved them. I put them on my Passat.... Best tire I have had on that car.
Akebono Euro Ceramic has great cold bite, even in cold snowy weather. The downside? It lacks a "linear" feel.
I changed the spark plugs to Autolite Double Plat plugs from Autozone. The smoke cleared up and it is MUCH easier to keep cranked in the cold (30's F) in the morning. It still has a very light stumble every few cycles and a louder engine idle than I'd like, but runs good and seems to be much better.
Adam's front slotted rotors, Stoptech Performance front pads.
I have an 04 W8, ill say this. Get a BBK from Brembo or someone. The front calipers are way to wide and large for what they would do for a smaller car vs the cost to make them work.
The NGK's listed have a colder heat range. Great in the summer, it will misfire like crazy in the winter
this summer I switched from oem to platinum bosch plugs and just recently took to dealer and had plugs changed as they said the platinum plugs in fsi engine will cause some fuel to not burn properly.
