  • Loss of power at Phaeton 3.0

    I like my car very much, which is expressed in intensive maintenance and care. 10 years I drive this car from the year 2005 which presents itself like new. Of the 190000km I drove 120000km. 80000km with an Audi A8 diesel engine. For 9 years I live as a retired at Lake Balaton in Hungary. Problems were the usual, like the trunk flap and some other known defects. But now I have a serious problem. My Phaeton did not jump at first, the comfort batter he was empty. So a new one was pure. 30 hours later also the 5,4V was noticed. At first the amplifier did not bring a sound into the loudspeaker, then the Navi and later also the onboard computer was not available despite 13.6V operating voltage. So off to the specialist, that was three weeks ago. Meanwhile the car was quite disassembled, but the worst; everything without result. The current eater was not found. Whether the replacement of a 200th– component on the amplifier success ha I don’t know yet. Does anyone have a hint about what to do? MfG Hermann

  • xc90 or not

    Hi, I need your advice. I have a new car in short. At the moment I can’t decide which car to take. I’ve been driving a few different cars lately and still don’t know it yet. Besides the XC90 there’s a choice of A6, Q7, 525d, X3, Renault velsatis, S80 or V70. Although the V70 is more likely to be eliminated, because I’m driving the V70 at the moment. -Even if the new D5 would be an argument. I find the best of the mentioned XC90. What makes me think of l The D5 with “only 185 hp”, because I have to drive from time to time 1000 km a day and it is already good if the car runs properly. In the test run the Xc90 ran only 195 km/h according to Tacho and the consumption was 11.9 liters on 100 km. With the same track and a little more floter driving my V70 has a consumption of about 7.0 liters. }> the hot of the xc90 needs almost 5 liters more! Basically I have to find out, however, that the XC90 is very quiet and pleasant. So now I would like read your opinion and maybe also how much a XC90 D5 needs realistically and how fast it drives, because I think that the results of my test drive can probably be seen as an exception.

  • XC90 D5: soot filter full

    In the operating instructions it is pointed out that the particulate filter is not emptied at frequent short distances in winter – if the engine does not reach its operating temperature – because of the lack of regeneration, so that the yellow warning triangle comes at 80% filling level: “RUSSFILTER FULL SEE HANDBOOK”. Has anyone ever seen this before? How short does the distance have to be in order to worry about something like this?

  • What do Phaeton drivers work?

    Hey guys, what I’d like to know is what you’ve been working for. I’m sure it’s interesting what kind of jobs you’re driving the same car. I’ve been a professional driver at Coka Cola for six years.

  • Question about “Refitting a trailer coupling at a Phaeton Lang built in 2009/2010 “

    Hello together. Thanks to the municipality of the Phaeton drivers here. It is always nice to read what problems are, but also good about the Diva. I have to ask a question now as well.Know even that there is a SuFu and there is already a lot on the topic. But I don’t understand it and the problem is what separates me from my Diva. Can one briefly explain to me the topic “Refitting a trailer coupling for a Phaeton Long built 2009/2010 with diesel 3.0 and petrol 4.2”. I get only to hear from the friendly workshops and car sellers. Can not go, can not and not possible and so on. I already say a deep thank you to everyone. Greeting Sebastian

  • Water infiltration through sliding roof

    Hello together, now my moose has stood a few days in pouring rain and already the interior behind the driver’s seat and area back seat is flooded. The fabric of the sky has loosened behind the sliding roof and hangs up to the rear window and was soaked. In the footroom left back good 2cm water 🙁 Certainly someone can tell me how many drain holes on the sliding roof of the 850 Bj 92 can be found. Visible with extended roof insert are in front 2 pieces, each 1 left and 1 re If I pour water into the left hole, this runs out behind the rear wheel box. If I do the same right, it runs out somewhere under the passenger door on the car floor. Are there any further holes further back? ZZ I try to dry the interior again. With wet vacuum cleaner removed what went on, now stuffed everything with newspaper and during the day still a fan in the interior with open windows. Unfortunately can not at night, since lantern parker. Ch and seals cleaned, the sliding roof re-mounted and first taken out of service

  • The engine’s not running smoothly!

    Hello friends, the topic “Twilights under oil” I created a week ago: I recently bought a used Omega B 2.0 16V. The engine has not been running clean recently. I thought these are the spark plugs and wanted to replace them… When I then screwed out the spark plugs, there was 2 out of 4 spark plugs on the thread and the “Zündkopf” oil. And quite a lot, the candles were almost covered with oil. Have renewed candles and cables, but the problem remained… It turned out that the valve cover seal was leaking. Then I also changed the seal. Now I have new spark plugs + new ignition cable + new valve cover seal, it is everything dry and as it should be, but the omi still does not run round. The problem exists both when driving with gas and with petrol. It was then recommended to me to visit Bosch Service but they want to pay pigs money only for the diagnostics. better proposal than Bosch Service? What else can I try?

  • USB Bluetooth receiver

    Hello together, I just recently bought a C30 and until now I’m really happy with the car. Now I’m looking for a solution to provide my radio with Bluetooth as easily as possible. I think I have the high performance variant and have both USB and AUX installed in my armrest. The problem is that my mobile phone (Android) cannot be read out via the USB interface, but I still like the steering wheel control for changing songs. My question is now whether there is a Bluetooth adapter, which is only controlled via USB, without additional AUX connection and can also be controlled with the steering wheel. Have you found something convincing in recent years, which does something like that? I hope I didn’t miss various threads now, but I couldn’t find anything really suitable.

  • Vibrating in the steering wheel

    Hello, as I have written before, I bought a new old Omega. During the test drive I criticized that the steering wheel vibrated. The dealer then weighed the front wheels and said that it was good now. With the front wheels there would have been an imbalance. After the pick-up I noticed that it was by no means good. Still a vibrating between 110 and 140 km/h. Can it also lie on the rear wheels? They were not looked after. Does the rear axle make a vibration in the steering wheel noticeable? Or can it be something else? Tomorrow will be looked up anyway…
