Category: VW Phaeton Forum

Hello everybody! My dad is still looking for the right Phaeton. On Saturday we have a visit and test drive appointment. We look at the following model: VW Phaeton L 6.0 W12 4Motion 4 Platzer // Full equipment Black Met. // Beige 72,400 km 1. Property // Service maintained 12 months or 20,000km Warranty Price: 25,000 Euro (41,500 CHF) (I think VB) Is there special to consider? What’s the difference to the short version? My dad used to drive an Audi A8 4.2 (2001) ) Think the difference between V8 320hp and V12 420hp will be relatively identical with regard to the difference in weight (acceleration etc…)?

I just found it on Autozeitung.de! ****************************** VW Phaeton The successor of the most magnificent Volkswagen of all time is almost safe since Martin Winterkorn’s arrival – the new Phaeton is coming. This year the details will be determined in Wolfsburg. However, the new flagship, which in turn appears as a classic limousine, will be slightly smaller than the previous one sold about 26000 times. In order to achieve a lower price and a better return at the same time, modules from the longitudinal engine kit from Audi are to be used. Engines up to the six-liter V12 TDI with 500 hp are available. It will be so early in 2010 at the earliest. By then, VW will be using alternative drive technologies from hybrid to modified gasoline and diesel engines, which will also provide the new, biomass-generated designer power.

Hello! I’ve had a few weeks of peace with my little one! Now it’s like, if I heat him with the heater, driving a short distance, that the windows start from the inside like a shower cabin! Even with the push of a button on the turbo disc button it takes several minutes until I have a clear view again! The whole thing happens around every disc! But that’s not normal then, is it? Tap on the fact that you have saved yourself from sides VW the exchange of the pollen filter, or ? Was my BMW a popular reason for the fact that only the windshield struck! Has anyone had similar experiences? Guano

Hello everyone! I am planning the Phaeton meeting on 10.05.2025 at the golf club Lüdersburg, similar to what happened this year. Is there any interest here? Then please send me a DM. I add you to the WhatsApp group. The costs are limited to the food I collect in advance when registering. The food will probably not cost more than about 25 € per person. The food selection will be decided in the first week of January.

How long can I drive it now without risking anything Does the on-board computer show anything if it’s at min? Gruss Michael near Bodensee

Tonight together. Today on the AB welcomed me the message “Error level, workshop”. This disappeared after about 5 seconds. 30km later in the village she popped up again, then a short time later to disappear again. Shortly before the house she came again, and disappeared as the range to the parking lot. What to the hangman? When I then placed the car in the garage at high level both sides went up normally. Only the passenger side always 1-2cm lower than the driver side. Or the garage is schi ef What can that be? Fixed coupling rod? I would do reading tomorrow, is already a bit late.. Did someone know something ad hoc? The car is on the stage for an oil change on Tuesday, maybe I can ask the mechanic if he still has a few minutes for it so that I can see something.. Best regards Don

Hello, have already looked at the positive list but unfortunately no workshop for Kassel or surroundings found. However, I would like to say that I also like to drive in free workshops and as a craftsman and exschrauber like to seek contact with employees. Currently on my thickness (W12 from the end of 2003) on the left front drive shaft of the Simmerring, properly probably shaft sealing ring, have to be changed there already oil runs out there. In the course of this also the iden (already existing) batteries are changed since e.g. the Comfort battery even after 4 hours. highway ride in rest has only 11.8 volts. Does the change last very long or could you possibly wait for it ? Ask only if I have to go further ! Who would like to take over this work please just report. Happy Easter, Harald

Hello, I hope that the competence and experience of the community of this forum will find an answer to my error picture and ask for your help with it. About 1 month ago the motor control light is lit up. Error memory as follows: – P2015 Suction tube valve position sensor (signal unlpausible / error static) Error deleted. 2 x started –> Errors again. Diagnosis: throttle valve swapped. Result: throttle valve swapped. Info: The workshop master told me that no one Is this correct ? 2 days after changing the throttle flap and approx. 300km on the way with the Phaeton again lights up the motor control light. Error memory as follows: – P2015 Suction tube valve position sensor (signal unlpausible) – P2101 Throttle control unit (misfunction) Diagnosis: Vacuum tube flaps left/right change. I am now not sure if this is right. Have ic h the throttle flap unnecessarily swapped ? Must the throttle flap be learned / adjusted ? Suction pipe flaps left/right completely swap ? Only suction pipe flaps Swap rods ? Vehicle: Phaeton 3.0 TDI Built. 2009 PS. 240, km. 120,000, Thank you in advance for your support. Greeting, Peter

Comfort battery is empty after a day, what consumes so much energy? Now I have the vehicle just four weeks and quirks without end. Why do I always buy such cripples? When I bought the vehicle I already noticed that the comfort battery was empty, well that stood already something, so nothing thought about it because everything was not going to the tailgate and the left rear door lock. I then eliminated the mistakes. Only the comfort battery is empty forever, when o I tried to load them after. After two days on the charger it was still not full. So the probably defective with the small standby stömen the ka can not become empty so quickly, so thought. So I ordered a new one, now after two weeks the endeich is there. So I broke a break the SCH… part to install. Which plaster nose at VW had such a mess come in? After three hours the part was finally built in. What no longer went was the suitcases raumklappe only why not besides, the error on Nivoregulation please workshop… As far as everything is good the car jumps to everything goes up to the flap. The next day, nothing works anymore. Hmm see what the battery does …. Eight volts that is but little. I have a desulfator with voltage indicator installed to see how high the voltage of the battery is. Well ha then the new battery was probably not fully charged. So charger connected. I connected the old battery over This morning I switched a measuring device in between. Ups my hands on the measuring device almost scrambled so much current in the sandby. My measuring device goes up to 10 A and it was full at the stop. So I once pulled all the fuses in the rear fuse box over 10 A individually, something has to pull so much power. Unfortunately no success, so all relays a Now???? Which consumer pulls so much electricity in the standby, someone knows advice. Has someone had such a mistake already? It could be an adhesive contact or switch and it would have to get a little warm only what. With my Chrysler I have had enough to do with the electronics but the VW is a lot worse. How good is that I still have my Chrysler the quality is much better. What do I do myself time and again at the same time I never wanted to like A VW.

Hello everyone, now it happened to me. Wet feet on the driver’s side. But it’s not so dramatic, the fault is the tube on the left side of the sliding roof at the height of the switchboard. It’s also only a few drops if the thickness is longer in the rain (I wouldn’t like it if I were a car). Didn’t notice anyone before, since it is either moved or in the garage (and there’s no rain there 😉 The hose doesn’t seem to lead into the rubber cover in the spray wall, but into the control panel irwana and the water drips diligently onto the footrest. (The car got a new front window (originally at VW) at the pre-owned time, if there was something botched?) Question is now, how to fix the whole without huge effort? How do I get the hose frozen again in the tulle, you see yes? – from the outside? i.e. wipe down, wind run away, pull off tulle towards the water box, hose a piece from the inside through the hole and with tulle push back? – or from the inside? Footroom cladding away, behind safety box with piano paws ( unfortunately have fingers like mettwürstchen) together? or how? Thanks for your information. Wetfoot Klaus PS: it’s not so much water that I have to worry about the ECUs. Only the carpet below the footrest is surface-moist. Luckily.
