I've had Meyle Corrado G60 11.0" 4-bolt rotors on my 97 Jetta GT for two years, and they are barely wearing (plating is gone off the friction surface of course, but holding up well over the rest of the rotors).
Pros: barely wearing, plating holding up
Cons: plating gone off friction
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Replace with Meyle HD strut mounts (about $11 each)
Pros: HD, inexpensive
I'm kinda partial to Meyle plated rotors. They're inexpensive, high quality, and appear to be wearing well on my 97 Jetta GT (Corrodo G60 11.0" front calipers and rotors).
Pros: inexpensive, high quality
Cons: none
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
If you use a standard VR6 strut mount, it will stretch over time, luckily Meyle has a HD version which addresses that issue.
Pros: HD version addresses issue
Cons: standard VR6 stretches
For those of you replacing your steering rack with a Meyle Brand manual steering rack you might want to take note. If you follow the bentley procedure for centering the rack and then setting the length of your tie rods it will not work. The passenger side measurement is off.
Cons: passenger side measurement off
I have narrowed the noise to the steering rack itself. It is a Meyle rack. 171419063. It has been on about a year and a half. I'll try tightening the pinion torque a smidgen tomorrow to try to solve the problem. I don't notice any play in it.
Cons: noise, felt through wheel
Part number: 171419063
My Meyle tie rod ends lasted less than a year before both started making noises, and had torn boots.
Cons: short lifespan, torn boots
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B4
OK, so I have heat now. When I pulled the core to check and see if there were any plugs in the lines I found a major defect in the core. deep inside one of the fittings you could see that there was no coolant passage. The thing was molded shut! So I drilled the fitting out and blew out the shavings from the opposite side, slapped it back in the truck and had heat right away.
Pros: heat works right away
Cons: major defect, molded shut
As much as I dislike the quality of the current Meyle racks, I don't think the rack could not be the cause of that because I compared an original rack rod to a new Meyle one and they are the same length.
Pros: rack rod same length
Cons: dislike the quality
