  • which oil for 1.8 gdi?

    as soon as I had a change of oil, the question arose which oil I would take. on demand at the dealer he told me that volovo 5w30 prescribed. then I looked in the accessories trade what the good drop should cost. since this was too much for my taste, I immediately asked in the shop for an alternative. as an answer came, that also 10w40 would be possible, which is already better from the price. what are your experiences? or is there another choice. for tip I would be grateful…. thank you

  • Exact description and size of the sofitten

    Just noticed, a license plate lamp no longer shines. Would be great if you got the original size and name communicated. OOOOThe one has experience here with the illuminants as a replacement in LED as they are offered in the Ebay.

  • Aluminium doors and edge rusts???

    Yesterday, I was amazed to find out that at my 06-er Phaeton on the lower edges of both doors there are real rust bubbles in front of it. Strange, I thought so far, that aluminium does not rust. When I am back in the north, I will go to the friendly as well as the seller to have this deficiency eliminated. I am excited whether it takes many persuasion to convince one of the two that the removal of defects is either a guarantee or a guarantee. In my opinion, it is extremely embarrassing for the manufacturer that aluminium doors (allegedly?) can form such rust after five years. Finally, even with Fiat, Renault and some other manufacturers, the times should be long over even with sheet metal.

  • Find the right buttons

    So I already think that I know myself now after 3 months of Phaeton driving with my car, but did last night make a small stop after pressing the memory button also the interior mirror moved automatically, have always set up by hand until now or is there also a control? In vain I also look for the button for my heated steering wheel can explain to me many ways how to get the steering wheel hot? At the bottom left of the steering wheel is only one button available but that’s because so that the steering wheel withdraws to allow a better one to get in and out.

  • Omega B – X25XE – Loose hose found in the engine compartment?

    Servus guys, I’ve got a question and I found a lot of hose hanging around the back today, but I can’t sort it out or what kind of function it has, you can help to assign it. In addition, I have to change my ignition cables which diameter do I have to take? Thanks for the answers.

  • Buy Phaeton….?!

    Hello to all Phaeton drivers, I have a request to you, please tell me how satisfied you are with your car… – Have there been major unexpected repairs??? – How good is the 3.0TDI engine?? – Where is the 3.0TDI engine in consumption in normal driving mode?? – Are there any problems with the 4-corner air suspension?? – Is the purchase price for this vehicle appropriate? I was offered the following vehicle: Phaeton 3.0V6 TDI 4Motion Sales type: 3D252A First registration: 05/2007 Laufl The vehicle was first owned by Volkswagen AG and then 2nd hand (purchased as an annual car).Complete checkbook maintained (carried by the lawyer, all repairs at VW!) Currently the vehicle is with the paintr, since some places on the body and at doors start to oxidize etc…. This is all regulated by VW-Kulanz. Is there often problems with it? I have to worry that there is no problem. A few answers on the subject would be nice so I know what I’m getting involved with. Thank you in advance…

  • Eos product defect exterior mirror

    Hello Eos-Freunde In March I noticed with horror that my Eos (11/06) is on the right outside mirror of the paint. The garage said that it probably hit a stone while driving. I insisted on a free replacement, since the guarantee had only expired shortly before. Conclusion: VW takes over 70% of the material costs, I pay the rest plus work. Did not pay the bill yet!!! Now in July the paint goes off on the left outside mirror. The garage said that my Eos is the first with d I have clearly said to the garage that it is a product mistake for me and I will not pay the invoices. Did the garage also address the warranty extension in case of paint damage. This meant that an outside mirror is an added part and does not fall into this guarantee!!! Yes then where else??? Let’s see how it goes on with me! Would I be very interested in how this is done with you? . Eos friends, if it’s a systhematic product error, then let’s not afford it! Greeting shereen

  • Look at your mirror holder!

    Hello dear Eosgemeinde, spring is approaching, so I once subjected my eos to a thorough cleaning, and what a shock: Both mirror holders li and re exactly where the mirror flasher stops, total oxytadion of the black holder, rough surface – varnish goes off. Immediately to the friendly, car is 18 months old – of course guarantee, both exterior mirrors are exchanged. I looked at Eos during walks, almost every 2nd the same. Good VW quality can only be said. What do I do in 18 months, there is no guarantee anymore… .. Look at yours, be curious Love greetings Robert

    In many vehicles of various manufacturers this is now displayed. I recently had a C40 as a rental car. The air quality sensor only indicated the interior quality. In this was something like: “not available”. My questions about the display of the :
