Volkswagen Phaeton parts reviews

The plug they sent me (Bosch #4417 FGR7DQP Platinum +4) runs absolutely fine on my engine, actually it feels better then before, but I just worried if it is indeed not the correct plug, will it do harm to my engine?

I purchased a new oem battery today. The 12v 92ah AGM 850A EN/ SAE 520A. Hopefully this solves my current issue. I'll know a little better in the morning on my way to work. At least my key fob works from greater distances now.

Replaced the rear Brake Pads and Rotors on my 2005 V8 this morning. Turned out to be a pretty easy, straight forward job. 30-45 min. per side.

i had my left side battery replaced about a year ago and i watched the shop (not a dealer) do it. the starter battery was not disconnected, the hardest part seemed to be lifting the battery out (fits tightley in there and isn't feather light).

As for the battery choice, I'd personally opt for the Varta. The main reason being the service life you have received from the original battery. I wouldn't worry too much about the Varta's lower rating as the original has seemed sufficient over approximately 6 years and most Phaeton owners are reporting excellent life from the original batteries.

Including like new Pirelli P Zero Rosso 275/40ZR19, these puppies were $1380 delivered. The rims are flawless and I can recoup some money by selling the "B" centers. Tonight they are go on the car.

I've been researching spark plugs and i believe the oem's in Phaeton are Platinum. I am certainly going to verify that and will change mine to Iridium's. For the purpose of better power, performance, and fuel mileage.

Here in Canada, the price for a standard Phaeton windshield (one that is tinted, but does not have the metallic infra-red resistant film in it) is about $600, which is pretty typical for a full size car or truck windshield.

The P Zero Neros were not that great in snow, so unless the Falkens are spinning in thier tracks I can't imagine a great improvement there.

On a subject unrelated to load ratings, the Michelin HX MXM4 are, well, to be brutally honest - they are total rubbish. Expect to have borderline dangerous hydroplaning performance when the tires get to 6/32nds and less. Wet traction will be very poor when the tires get below 4/32nds or so.
