Bosch › Spark plug

Rating 4.5

Acceleration:

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?

Pros: improved engine feel, smooth operation

Cons: worried about compatibility, potential engine harm

Vehicle: Volkswagen Phaeton

Part number: 4417 FGR7DQP PLATINUM +4

Cranking:

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.

Pros: key fob works better

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.

Pros: easy, straight forward job

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).

Pros: fits tightly, not light

Varta › Battery

Rating 4.0

Indicator:

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.

Pros: excellent service life

Cons: lower rating

Grip:

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.

Pros: rims are flawless

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.

Pros: better power, better mileage

OEM Volkswagen › Windshield

Clarity:

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.

Pros: typical windshield price

Grip:

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.

Cons: not great in snow

Grip:

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.

Cons: dangerous hydroplaning, poor wet traction
