New thermostat, 80°C so the water will circulate throw the radiator well before its over 92°C, that made the coolant temp much smoother, never goes over 92 now, and never lower than 87°C. Adding a new water pump also helped, just to be safe.
Factory exhaust manifold cooling and Bosch battery.
I just replaced mine last week! I bought a remanufactured Bosch from FCPEuro. Looked brand new. Also was a pretty easy DIY.
I'd go with Bosch. A fuel pump isn't something I'd want to cheap out on and I'll have to get the OEM for something like that.
Bosch. Always use Bosch for the pump. They're the OEM and the vastly better service life than the cheap brands is more than worth the extra cost.
From what I’ve seen on here, the consensus is that the Bosch fuel pump is the only one that won’t die immediately
Bosch Icon’s here - they work great
I have just replaced the oil and all 6 spark plugs with Bosch Double iridium.
Use the bosch cobra pump, the crap that comes with those \"kits\" is junk. Those are a boat bilge pump. The cobra pump is $80 on Summit. I used a Mezzier pump that cost $200, it didn't flow much more than the cobra pump and failed just as quickly. The kit's pump only lasted me maybe 3 months.
First step, get those Bosch Platinums to a trash can where they belong. Even when I was in Bosch Fuel Injection Training School back in the early 90's, the Bosch Instructors were telling us not to put them in anything unless we wanted to start chasing driveability issues.
