mango_springroll said: I got the DD version from a local dealership that sells parts on Ebay, installed no issue.
Pros: installed no issue
id buy the whole water pump, because you dont know exactly where the leak is. i did mine over the winter and in my case one of the inlets cracked badly. I bought this part: 06J-121-026-BG, and even though it had a sensor on one of the coolant outlet pipes, I didnt plug anything in it and its been fine.
Pros: inlets cracked badly, sensor fine
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: 06J-121-026-BG
I've got a '13 R with KESSY and NAV. that had a weird slow start, which made me think the KESSY swt. was worn like another thread mentioned. So I tore it apart and it was dirty on the contacts so I cleaned them. After that it seemed better but the car had 30+K miles and I did get another weird slow start, so I tested the battery and it tested good/charge. I did end up replacing the battery. I haven't had any issues since then. Now at 52K miles.
Pros: no issues since then
Cons: weird slow start

Third filter change for me and not a trace of metal was found in the fuel filter reservoir. I plan to drive the car to approximately 75-80K depending on what I'm at in late 2018.
Pros: no metal in filter

Volkswagen

I am not at stock height, but I have changed the headlight aiming. What I look for is that the cutoff point is about at the trunkline of cars in front of me and that seems to work well.
Pros: cutoff point at trunkline
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I pulled the fuel injector rail and reconnected everything outside of the engine and found 2 of the reconditioned injectors were not firing even when switched with working ones.
Pros: reconditioned injectors not firing

Easier said than done to install the B6 fuel pump into the corrado tank. The pump fits but the top flange's outer edge needs to be ground to fit the locking collar. Then the inside diameter of the locking collar has to be opened up.
Pros: pump fits
Cons: needs modification
Vehicle:

Out of nowhere last week, found my car with a big crack on the windshield leaving work for the day. The crack was not there when i parked. Closely inspected the windshield along the crack and no rock chip/pits whatsoever. Crack appeared almost dead center at the bottom edge and worked its way up. When i parked my car at work this morning, the crack had no bulged. But when got back to the car at noon for lunch, the crack had expanded. This in my opinion proves that the windshield was not installed properly and when the steel frame expands, it puts stress on the windshield cracking it. GTI MK7.5, 2500 miles.
Cons: cracked out of nowhere, crack expanded while parked, defective workmanship
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 4023 km
Imperfections in either the brake rotors or pads making gouge marks in my rotors
Cons: gouge marks in rotors
Mileage: 7500 km
