PEAK › Battery charger

bronson75 23 Dec 2012, 19:12

Rating 4.0

Ease of use:

I picked up a Peak 2 amp charger a while back, pulled the battery out of my Scirocco while it's hibernating and stuck it in the basement. Usually I don't charge it while it's out (5 year old Interstate, NEVER needed a jump or charge), it's never needed a boost when it's time to get it going in the spring, but I did this year. I got it cheap over the summer, we'll see how it works. I don't forsee any problems.

Pros: got it cheap

Cons: we'll see how it works

Me...I'll stick to CASTROL EDGE 5w50...over a quarter of a million miles in an actual SCIROCCO.

Pros: quarter million miles

OEM Volkswagen › Head gasket

Rating 4.0

I bought mine and have spent close to 2k on it already. Needed a he'd gasket so I did a 2.0 16v swap. But put all new gaskets, motor mounts, shift kit, etc. Don't skimpy on doing it right.

Pros: new gaskets, motor mounts

Cons: spent close to 2k

Castrol › Engine oil

Engine noise:

I recommend 5W40 Castrol Syntec! Here's why: Smaller numbers = thinner oil. The "W" means "Winter" - or the viscosity of the oil when the engine is cranking, and first warming up. The 5W oil is very thin when cold. The engine will crank faster, the pump primes better. The hydraulic lifters in your 16v will fill up and follow the camshaft better and with less noise. When you are at operating temperature, the 40 weight oil will give you the protection that a VW engine needs.

Pros: cranks faster when cold, less lifter noise, good engine protection

Cranking:

How much more effective is the gear reduction starter compared to using a MK3 starter? I'm running a mk3 8v starter in my '80 scirocco and absolutely love it. Much more effective.

Pros: much more effective

Braking:

As for the brakes the S2 16v's should take it hands down.

Pros: should take it

Braking:

But the MK2 brakes by far hands down feel better and seem to grab better. I'm not sure why that is, they are actually more worn than my Mk1.

Pros: feel better, grab better

OEM Volkswagen › Radiator hose

Rating 3.0

I got the upper radiator hose from a vendor on ebay mkautohaus, I believe. Deals in older VW parts, that one was $110, called the dealership and they wanted $145. And the shop the car is in charged me another $110 for the lower one.

Pros: deals in older parts

Cons: expensive radiator hose

RED LINE › Gear oil

vwbrvr6 17 Jul 2003, 18:42

Rating 1.0

I disagree with any redline product. I've had 3 VW's always used VW gear oil, never a tranny problem. My Scirocco has 160,000 miles and the tranny has never been touched. Whenever I hear of someone haveing major tranny problems needing a rebuild I've always asked if they were using Redline, and the answer is always yes. See, it is much too slippery for VW transmissions. Yeah your gonna clear up your second gear grind and smooth up the shifts but you causing damage to other parts of the tranny like bearings.

Pros: smooth up the shifts

Cons: damage to bearings
