The H rated 18" bridgestone dueler H/Ls seem to perform about 90% as well as the V rated OEM Contis that I replaced them with. IMO I gave up 10% of the sticky feel of the Contis for the awesome tread wear of the bridgestones...
Just finished my 5K service. My dealer had never stocked the VW 507 oil! Special order for me. Anyway, your 2007 has the BWF engine where the fuel filter sits beside the motor on the driver side. in the middle of the four hoses is a torx head screw. Remove this and pump out (or syringe out as I did) about 100cc. Mine was perfectly clean.
K&N's work great, just don't over oil them. I've been running them for years on all my cars. No problem with the Touareg either in 10K miles.
I had to replace the windshield on my '06 last month. I went to Elite auto glass here in the Denver area. They put in a PPG windshield. PPG is one of the biggest names in automotive glass... so I was not concerned. It came with the appropriate equipment for the rain sensor. It cost me 260-bucks out the door and it was done. They did a very nice job. They even knew about the \"special issues\" with the adhesive. Couldn't be happier.
I ditched my 19s for the factory (Canyon) 17s on my V8. Mounted up Bridgestone Dueller A/T Revos (265/65/17) about 3K mi ago. I can't say enough good things about this tire -- second truck that we've put them on and they're doing great. Super in rain, snow, and the usual winter muck!
Compared to the stock 18s, I'm quite pleased to announce that the 22s actually ride as nice if not better. Part of this may be their 73lb/corner weight (not much over stock but still not as light). It floats a bit more than stock, but even with the low-profile tires, its not harsh.
I had replaced the factory refills with new ANCO refill blades for $8.00 (p/pair), after that, no chatter just smooth sailing.
I did. Driver's side <2 minutes; passenger side required a plasma donation. Very, very tight fit. More induction song now, but the regular paper filters are so big I doubt that limited air flow is a problem.
I ordered two of the K&N filters for my V8 T-Reg (hey, anything to improve mileage). I've installed these things on my previous car before and it was pretty cake.
One problem that you can have with the K&N over the stock air filter is over-oiling by novice users. If you over-oil it and the extra oil gets onto the mass air flow sensor, you will need to replace the sensor. Supposedly they aren't cheap either. K&N filters can also be a pain to take care of too. When they get dirty, you have to wash them and re-oil them. This adds another time to screw up.
