VW uses Castrol Edge 5w-40, it's what they used for mine too, i do like Castrol but not the one made here in UAE(Sharjah), therefore on my RS6 i am using Liqui-Moly Top Tec 4100(VW approved 502, 505, 505.01) which is only made in Germany and i very happy with it, therefore i am going to use it for the Phaeton as well!
If this is going to take off you need to make sure it will work for those with upgraded brakes, specifically the Audi 8 pot and 362mm ap discs setup.
The longitudinal 1.8T's runs out of injector pretty quick so if you start pushing your current turbo you may need them anyway - hopefully you can log your injector duty cycles (or have already) to see where you're at.
For whatever it's worth, I had these on my B7 A4 and then S4...I had no issues with the brakes on the S4. Felt great and definitely an improvement. I definitely felt a difference when I had a full car of people and did a complete stop with everyone inside the car. Car just stopped.
On the 3.2 A3 i fitted a quick disconnect to the battery, refitted the 6 million bolts on the battery plate and now i can connect and disconnect the charger in seconds. I use a CTEK XS 4003 Had the A3 for around 6 months now and it's on charge at least 2 days a week, no problems so far.
Denso iridium are great for turbo cars
NGK are also good, but in experience denso iridium works better when running more than 1 bar of presseure
This is definitely a fix for those who complain about H&R springs.
I have mine VARTA battery since the car was made in 2006. Works like a charm. Great Batteries.
I did install Ferodo pads as well as the brake fluid flush at local Audi Dealership, however I do have some pulsation when I brake from higher speed. It is non existent in the city driving but on the highway my brake pedal pulsates a bit and I don't like this.
I installed the Bosch pump and a new fuel filter. 50 miles later the Bosch pump died. I was not beating on the car. Just cruising down the street doing 30 or so and bam, no power. I was able to return it and get my money back.
