  • Vw Phaeton rear window heating!!

    Hello Phaeton driver, It’s getting cold and when I start at 6 am in the morning then my rear window is fogged I activate the heater however I don’t see how with my previous car these strips of the heater? Can someone tell me where the fuse is? Try to change the first time if I don’t drive to Vw and ask because I still have until 03/14 guaranteed.

  • Phaeton does not start

    Hello together I’m new here and need advice I have a phaeton BJ.2002 3.2 v6 Gasoline The car stood long at the yard where water has accumulated in the footroom and the kessy destroyed I bought a new one and had it programmed. Now the car no longer starts when I press the relay 433 over the comfort battery together by hand (Plastic housing I have agreed) starts the car and runs so far. Did anyone have experience with what it could be? Thanking every counsel in advance

  • Exhaust gas maintenance Switzerland – does anyone know about it?

    Hello dear Phaetonists, I’ve already seen a few people living in Switzerland. With the search function I haven’t found anything on this topic yet, so here’s my question… At the registration office in Switzerland, the following text is available on the conditions for registration:”Exhaust gas maintenance If your car has been put on the market between 1 January 1976 and approx. 2006 a specialist company must regularly perform the exhaust gas maintenance. If your vehicle has a so-called on-board diagnosis-Sy You can check the fact sheet Exhaust gas maintenance/OBD or ask your Garagist.” Did any of you already have the pleasure of getting a license with a GP0 in Switzerland? The car is actually good in the shot…had passed the German TÜV with flying colors last week…but Switzerland has its own rules and I am a bit scared. Thanks and many greetings Ron

  • GP1 Headlight replacement Xenon for Bi-Xenon with LED TFL?

    Hello all, I’m new here and drive a GP1,5 (gp1 with 2009 chassis number). Unfortunately this car only has Xenon headlights. The Bixenon with LED TFL cost at that time 1050 EUR extra charge. Can anyone tell me if I can simply exchange the original Bixenon with LED TFL for my existing one and that also works? I would be happy about information. Thank you in advance. Greetings to all Shipman62

  • Air suspension no longer goes high, error level control is filed

    My air suspension can’t be driven up in the front anymore and I have no idea what I should do nevo control error comes when reading out but I tested them all 4 today and are all running in the front it’s extremely low and rear it’s extremely high I don’t know now if it’s due to the dampers or what it can be that of the workshop meant that the right air cushion has burst on compressor goes on but I can’t drive it down the back neither nor up drive I have added two pictures and the question is it may be due to the giant protection before I now spend piles of money for two new air suspension dampers

  • An accumulation of problems at once. Who knows the error(s)?

    It’s about the following: The car (3.0 tdi, year 2006, 200,000km) goes to normal (key + keyless go), then directly the following error messages come: Error suspension workshop brakes Stop errors Error exhaust workshop Add to this: ABS light lights ESP light lights exhaust light lights ” (!) ” Light people The power steering is no longer running The part of the speed display unit no longer running The tank indicator is fluctuating up and down. The selector lever remains i n “P” Put position Otherwise, the car drives normally, except that the servo does not steer along and that the chassis drives at the hardest level, due to the error message. In addition, a tyre had to be changed and thus the chassis (car lift mode was not possible, because of the error messages) is bagged off after the tyre change and also no longer comes up. Read out via VCDS shows all possible errors, but does not let us in any further, the S expensive devices don’t seem to answer. We assumed that there must be a voltage problem… Batteries exchanged, mass checked – everything unchanged. Various ECUs exchanged – everything unchanged. Are with our Latin at the end and also find here in the forum nothing to this accumulation of errors. I hope that there is someone who has already got through this scenario and knows a solution approach. More information about the car which might be important: Ventilated M Assassinated with memory front solar roof climate compressor has not been working for a long time Best regards

  • Buying an accident car?

    Moin people. I’m not sure if I should post in the purchase consultation thread, so I’d rather open a new topic first. My question: would you buy a vehicle with repaired accident damage? The following facts: I am interested in a Pheaton, who ran about 200tkm and has his EZ at the end of 2011. The car has a quite good equipment and is full of check booklet. The current holder (2.) has been in 3 years and about 100tkm. g was moved by both holders rather normally for long distances. Here it is stated as accident-free. On demand with the friendly one I was informed that the vehicle had apparently had a side damage at a mileage of 7tkm, because among other things rear side part and doors on one side were replaced. On the other hand the then holder, thus apparently the 1st, was very sensitive, because probably very many (small) parts were replaced, among other things all 4 air dampers. . Now I’m torn back and forth… Apparently good care, against it stands a repaired accident damage, which is however already a bit ago and (perhaps out of ignorance) is sold as accident-free. What are your opinions about it?

  • Continuous current on 12V socket

    Hello, the power supply at the 12V sockets is also off after switching off the ignition, or shuts down after some time (feels 10-20min). Can you change this so that continuous current is there? It is a GP3 greetings

  • Sealing in the eighth year

    Dear people! Yes, maybe this may be pushed into the Care Forum now, but now for the first time: Have given my “P” a seal now in the eighth year: NANO CERAMIC PROTECT SOFT 1 year warranty Cleaning and degreasing of surfaces – with Nano Ceramic Remover Application of ceramic lacquer sealing with Nano Ceramic Protect Soft – 1 protective layer Sealing of external plastic components and tires with application of Nano Ceramic Protect Plastic Previously polished and the mass of the W Ashstrecken tracks from the first owner period 2014-18 are gone. Thank God not all, otherwise I would be afraid that there is no paint anymore 😉 I took a few pictures at once. I found it very successful. And photos after the first ride would have already pictured too much pollen on the paint – really now. This is a “soft ceramic seal”, so not the “hard/real”. Why only the ? Because I’m not yet sure whether a 9H ceramic seal is nonsense if the aluminium oxide what do you mean? I’m only driving back and forth in the garage for a few weeks now, …. :-)) What do you mean? Greeting Werner

  • New addition Phaeton and a few questions

    Hello everyone! I bought my first Phaeton today and a few questions/problems about it. The vehicle is from 06/2010 3.0 TDI 4 Motion and we first come to the problems. Rear lights don’t seem to go any more. In the purchase contract sellers sent in within ten days new ones. Air conditioning does not cool, but air conditioning compressor is functional. Think there is simply no refrigerant. Seat ventilation driver seat without function workaround ha b i already seen here, but puh if the effort is worth it, I can not estimate. Vehicle was read out on site completely with VCDs – errors were only caused by undervoltage, since the car was really standing for quite a while. Now to the questions: Verbaut is a RNA 810 without Dynaudio. Bluetooth is displayed to me but somehow there is no way to connect mobile phone or the like. Do I need an adapter? Especially theme sound. Would like a DSP with sub for spare wheel dump after There’s something to recommend? How do I know which version is running on the Navi? Is there something else that is halfway up-to-date? Or better build up other radios? Currently there are 18 inches with all-weather on it. But would like to have 20 inches for the summer. Is there something original from VW? Thank you already in advance and sorry for the many questions. Is my first Phaeton and today as said first fetched.
