I’m working on my 08 GTI FSI and man she loves my paycheck like no tomorrow! But she is the greatest car I’ve ever owned. Congrats you’re going to both hate and love it!!! Check the coil packs! Mine use to misfire all the time. Brought it to three shops before I personally replaced all four and bought nothing but NGK or Bosch plugs.
Cabin Filter - Bosch HEPA 6092C. the air blowing speed is reduced though due to finer filtering so if u plan to run it in summer, u likely have to crank up the fan speed one/two level up higher than usual.
Bosch H275 (I found it at O'Reillys) doesn't fit perfectly out of the box due to the mounting point being too narrow, the blade itself is an EXACT match for the OEM one. And the Bosch H275 box actually has instructions for removing just the blade from its housing, and installing it in the OEM housing. It took me about 30sec to swap the blades after reading the Bosch H275 box. Works great for me now.
I bought bosch icons and they are fantastic - highly recommend. Bosch might make the OEMs but they are not icons, icons are the best wiper ive ever seen anywhere.
Mine went out at like 105k swapped out a Bosch immediately but if not always go with denso.
Bosch Microedge blades... I buy them for all my VW's they fit perfectly
Highly recommend BOSCH. Great wipers and last AWHILE too
The mechanic I go to gives me Bosch and they last around 2 years if not more. But then they do die within a day when they do.
I binned them after 2 days and replaced them with some Bosch ones.
bosch will do for a fester, for the more high performance or up market stuff i use mann or dealer and they aren’t that much more, i just had a 340 gt bmw in that ran the camshafts out of the head after 6k on factors oil and filter, the filter collapsed and sent paper fluff all round the engine so had to replace the cylinder head.
