The speed at which the lights turn will vary from slowest to quickest. Switch from Eco to Race and you'll easily notice a difference. I keep my lights in race; I've enjoyed how they change directions almost instantly with my steering input to better light the road ahead.
Pros: lights change directions instantly

I think a few people asked in this thread if the manual adjustments actually make a difference, and I can confirm what other's have stated...using tape measures today, the manual adjustments change the center height of the self-leveling/adaptive system. It makes logical sense because even under the best of manufacturing conditions, both the headlight units and chasis will vary slightly, requiring the ability for manual adjustments to ensure proper, legal, alignment. About 1.5 turns for my setup seems to keep it within the guidelines for adjusting headlamps. For sure, VW went conservative and had them a bit lower.
Pros: manual adjustments make difference
Cons: VW went conservative

Bought a OEM vw core. Not taking a chance on jobber. Seeing I didd the labor myself the job only costed me 160$
Pros: OEM quality
Cons: costly core
Air filter replaced with a brand new one. Tested the car, monitored the fuel trims. It appeared that drive-ability has improved, however, the intermittent low fuel trims did not go away.
Pros: drive-ability has improved
Cons: fuel trims did not go away

I've done the following and confirmed that they seem to be working: Windows up/down with remote. Mirror dips in reverse and returns; returns a little high but that seems to be a known issue without the folding mirrors w/memory.
Pros: Windows up/down with remote
Cons: returns a little high

I just had my windshield replaced; I've noticed a slight visual ripple at the base of the windshield on the passenger side. Since it's right at the base it's not something that causes any weirdness while driving. I can't say I even noticed anything with the previous windshield.
Pros: no weirdness while driving
Cons: slight visual ripple
Yep. Was especially noticeable on my 15 GTI. Less so on later models but all have it to some degree.
Cons: especially noticeable

Up until a little over 45k miles, I was impressed that nothing had gone wrong. Then a little while back, it started to get a misfire. It was discovered that one of the fuel injectors needed to be replaced. That was a fairly expensive repair especially for a car with such low miles.
Cons: failed at low mileage, expensive repair

VW Factory battery from the dealers are over rated, they lasted about 3 years... Disappointed... and over rated.
Cons: lasted about 3 years
