Plus, in real world driving, they stop on a dime. They scrub off speed really well - I've had a couple of saves thanks to these.
Pros: stop on a dime

My main issue w/ the valve cover leak was a bad gasket. I had time to change it not too long ago, and so far no signs of external leaks on driveway or engine.

Cons: bad gasket

Instead I installed an aftermarket 'rebuilt' 4 bolt unit. Came with new bellows boots and inner tie rods, was still a bit pricey but saved something like $300 - 500 vs buying a rack & harness from my dealer.
Pros: saved money, new parts
Cons: bit pricey

You can use the mk1 manual trans but I'd recommend an fx300 clutch setup and a diff if you want to do as little custom and more drop in.
Pros: drop in

My AC smells like wet dog for the first 30 seconds I run it. Wonder if changing the cabin filter would help.

My 2012 Tiguan SE 4Motion, 18k miles so far 1. Water pump high pitch noise when engine warm up, it happened at around 700 miles (pretty new), dealer said it is a flaw of that particular water pump, they ordered the part and replaced it.

Misery loves company I know this thread is years old, but I thought I'd share my experience with my brand new 2017 Jetta SEL. We've had the vehicle for less than a week and it has less than 430 miles on it (bought it with 317 miles). Yesterday while sitting in a traffic jam due to a highway closure, my wife and I suddenly heard a loud boom. The rear window was completely shattered. We weren't moving, nor were any of the cars around us due to the highway closure.
Pros: no impact point
Cons: faulty glass possible
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 430 km
My Passat's headlights are downright awful. Worst I have had in any car I've owned for sure.
Cons: downright awful
