Original owner of a mk6 R here :wave: my R has ~50k miles on the clock. lightly modded (see sig) and I have never had any issues other than normal wear stuff. plugs/oil/filters u know. car still feels very close to new.
Pros: car still feels new
Cons: normal wear stuff
Vehicle:

Mileage: 50000 km
Reportedly the aftermarket ones don't last too long. That's why I had ultimately decided to keep the OE 14 y/o pump in the van
Pros: long lasting
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
MkIV 2.0 auto trans starter. Bolts right up to an 020. Spins the engine faster than the original did. And, it's smaller and lighter, too. I put one in my Scirocco a few years ago, when I replaced the trans & clutch.
Pros: smaller, lighter, spins faster
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Scirocco
Bruce and I and my Dad replaced the thermostat, timing belt, water pump, and thermostat on the P. All went well, except that VW doesn't know how to do their job very well and got the wrong pulleys. But they did get everything else correct, and for a good price too.
Pros: good price
Cons: wrong pulleys
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Phaeton
Love all the parking sensors, they really help to make sure i don't get too close to the curbs.
Pros: helps avoid curbs
Vehicle:

Today I replaced the spark plugs with new ones PFR7S8EG VW genuine. With new plugs car runs better, but idle still wasn't good enough.
Pros: car runs better
Cons: idle wasn't good enough
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Part number: PFR7S8EG
During the rebuilt I installed a new condenser, new O-rings, new accumulator (drier), new orifice tube w/ new O-rings. Then I vacuumed down the AC system for half a day and since it was holding vacuum fine I recharged it with straight R134a (no sealer chemicals). It seemed to work fine in the beginning but that was when it wasn\u2019t that hot outside and now in the summer heat I can tell that something is not working right. The symptoms are usually delayed cooling by up to 15 minutes and even then it seems to cool for a while and then blows warm again.
Pros: holding vacuum fine
Cons: delayed cooling, blows warm
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Phaeton
They tried some sort of "VW approved motor restore oil additive" about 200 miles ago but it didn't help and may have made things a little worse.
Cons: didn't help, made worse
Mileage: 321 km
I had the day off today so I went ahead and put a new starter in, the old one was ghastly, and it still wont even turn over!?
Pros: new starter installed
Cons: did not fix issue
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
