I’ve been driving Phaeton for 8 years, the first I had was a V6 3.2 except for small things never had problems with the thick ship. For 4 years I’ve been driving a V10 TDI with KM at the time 197,000KM to date never had a problem although I drove 100,000 KM in 4 years. Until 3 weeks ago….. It started with smoke in the ventilation when I drove off the highway, but I didn’t think anything about it until 2 weeks ago unsightly oil tracks appeared in my garage. thanks engine oil, but on stage it quickly became clear it was gear oil which dripped out of the bore at the gearbox… So after the friendly around the corner which didn’t sound friendly then. Repcosts at different dealers between 1500 and 2100 euros only for the expansion of the engine plus then flange off the gearbox and the rep parts…. Costs up to 3000 euros, actually with the price loss of the V10 TDI his death sentence. What made me stinky, however, none of the F In the end, there were no long waiting times or the divisible scissor lifting table was not available… I made it short, I removed the engine with gearbox myself. ^^ duration inc change of the Simmering 5 days. I re-built the scissor lifting table inc the holding points of the engine and the gearbox with threaded rods of sizes 14 and 16. The repbooks offered by the Techverlag were helpful. But what really brought me to the white glow was that the culprit (the Simmerring behind the converter) at VW 8.00 in words costs eight EURO.. and for that the whole turned up. I would now be interested whether one of the one V10 TDI has the same problem or had it. Cann’t be that a part of 8.00 Euro carries a rep of up to 3000 Euro.
