Bought Primacy MXV4's as my next tire. Never regretted it.
Reviews of spare parts for Volkswagen Passat
Tires are a great value. Good handeling in Dry and some wet. Started to get noise from them at 20K. Should rotate every 5k and should last a little longer than the 30K I got.
Goodyear Eagle GT, 235/40-18 Rides rough, not too bad noise wise, handles great on dry and wet. Gives good feedback and confidence in corners. I've got about 19k miles on them now, they still have about 30 to 40% tread left. I'm an aggressive driver.
The top rated tire in this class was a Pirelli P Zero Nero All Season tire.
Wow, adjusting the steering rack tension made a huge difference, car feels way more responsive now.
My Passat still has the battery it came with lol 6 years in the Arizona weather, I'd say that's pretty good.
it was just over 115 for the battery at the dealer, install was easy, as soon as you get creative it could become more difficult. for the money its not a bad battery
Im running Koni FSDs on my passat which is the identical platform. And they are a great set up.
NGK BKR7EIX is a popular plug for 1.8T and 2.0T, but it is one step colder in the heat range. Fine for those whom don't see freezing and below temps.
From reading on the B6 Forum...the B6 has something that the B5's sure don't....V6 engines that die sudden deaths from oil pump bolt failures!
