Good evening Dear Phaeton Community, I unfortunately have a problem again… My fat guy leaves an unpleasant jerk or a small hit when changing gears in the 2 you could also say that happens mostly when the engine is cold and at low speed at full load I have no problems.. This jerking I have even only in the 2nd gear. Has someone evt similar problems and knows what it might be, I think it’s the oil of the good has already run 240,000 km or is it located on the S Chieberkasten ? I have no idea… I hope someone here knows what a problem this is. Lg

I looked in the Sufu, but I didn’t find anything suitable. Maybe one of you still has pictures that show what you need to solve, except the contacts of the battery. My battery (comfort) is now 9 years old, and I’m going to change it in the spring. So far it’s okay. I’m going to take an AGM Bat. What about the startbat., what do you take for it? The smart man is known to be building. Probably I’ll go to ATU then, but I want to know how it works, so that I can make sure that the nothing do wrong. Greetings and beautiful 2nd Advent Thomas

Unfortunately, today my Phaeton parked on the roadside was damaged by a backwards moving tractor. The bumper was completely pressed in by the ramp guard above the license plate and below the grill and broke out on the whole horizontal area. It is a GP3 2012 and PDC and ACC show no errors. Now my question: Which times of the workshop stay is to be reckoned with and is the GP3 bumper at all available? Can one about the Scha the number with bumper and grill, if we assume that ACC, SWR and PDC are still in order? Jan

Hello everybody! That the Phaeton is quite idiosyncratic is not a secret. In the case of a “new” (likes me for weeks) incident I wonder if there is more behind me. On my car three of the four pushers do not work to close the door handles, the fourth is also winter-tired, so works only from double-digit plus degrees… so far, so bad. What surprises me: not always, but when the button works directly on the parking space before work Sometimes (also only there!) completely Kessi falls out, I sometimes only get into the car with the key in the lock and have to use there (oh grey!) the key to start. Even the radio remote control doesn’t work anymore. Only the trunk can then be opened (at least once randomly) still by pressure on the VW symbol. If only the radio was disturbed, I would start from unfavorable interferences. But complete failure (sometimes only the button, ma Not once no access detection outside, sometimes only delayed key detection at start-up attempt…) of the “wired” components…? In summer I definitely only have the problem before work, in winter he spins anyway. Is my work allergy contagious…?! lg Stefan

Hello Need the help of the VCDS experts… Must regenerate my DPF. But I have VCDS 17.8.1 is VCDS beginner. In every DPf video under “motor electronics”……”Access permission” is asked for a 7 digit access code. This is displayed in a kind of speech bubble in the videos if you go with the cursor on the input field, not with me. Do I then need no code??? If I then go under “8 measurement blocks” I can not also the measurement blocks shown in the videos How are the measurement blocks with the 3l TDI? Can someone help me? How/Where can I see how much km the last regeneration was performed in the VCDS? How/where can I look at the loading state? Gruss Günni

So, finally got me a couple of 21ers. Wanted to order tyres according to the report. There’s in front 265, back 275. Does that even work? Does still know of my 550 BMW and A8 that had to get up the same size because of the four wheel. Is this exactly the case here at the Phaeton? Would I hate to smash the distribution gearbox. Does there happen to be advice? Thanks and greetings in the round

Moin moin, since I drive on 29.07.16 to the rehab with the Phaeton and I park him in Emden at the harbour the 3 weeks, I wonder if I will have after the rehab problems with the battery at the start. Some where I have read that some probably had problems with a longer service life. Is there anything to it? With my other cars there have never been any problems with it. Greeting Jürgen

If I have turned off my defects, I might consider customizing my P to a set of Alu rims. I would like 9×20 front and possibly 10.5×20 rear with 245 or 275 tires Does anyone possibly drive this combi? 275 front are actually too wide but should the mixed tire give problems with the AllRad, I can possibly live with it. Optically I like mixed tires better. Maybe someone has experiences with this combi. To do it is also 275 round. Greeting Martin

I changed the gear oil 1 1/2 years ago, because the speedometer has not risen continuously with light gas and has fluctuated back and forth. Now the problem is even worse. With light gas and with the slope of the road it fluctuates strongly and with the gas there is rising stepwise, instead of uniformly. At the stand you notice also slight fluctuating of the torsion. And if you hit the steering wheel quickly in the stand, the speeds go briefly into the basement, as if the Does anyone have the same problems or even know what it might be up to?

A few weeks ago, I was allowed to purchase a Phaeton w12 (I couldn’t say no to the price). The generally run electric car discussion caused me to do so, true to the motto it is 5 to 12 for a 12-year-old. At times, this one is now waiting with the first task. – ESP/ABS – motor control light – after the error slightly trembling speed in idle mode occurs (similar to a “wum Wumm Wummmm” Thus, the vehicle in the “half warmed up condition” in a In this condition it is almost forbidden to move the vehicle.The switching operations are not blocked (P-D-R …) The reverse gear has slightly more force than the forward gear, marginally more force… In idle I cannot “play” with the accelerator pedal – the speed does not react. It seems as if the accelerator pedal is almost completely deactivated.

In this emergency run it is worktime. I am looking forward to your participation(participation) concerning this topic.
