Hello dear community, I drive a 2004 V8. Since the last temperature fall I realize that the heating power of my thickness is no longer the one I am used to. When the automatic is switched on it no longer heats at all and with manuel only very weak at the lowest fan level. If I turn the fan upwards only cold air comes up. It also does not change if I correct the temperature upwards. Does any of you have an idea of what this can be? Thanks for the Help Krocko

Dear people With my V8 built in 2003, I have already experienced a lot. But the latest behavior also makes my friendly headbreak. If you want to start the Phaeton, the starter turns, but the engine doesn’t start. With the emergency start it doesn’t work either, although I tested both batteries and have more than 80% starting ability. I changed the candles before 15’000 kilometers in December 2011. As first time I had the problem during the holidays and the TCS could bring the vehicle back to life by completely pushing the accelerator pedal through at the start. However, he strongly advised us not to repeat this. Then the vehicle ran without any problems, even the friendly one could start it without problems yesterday but this morning there was no problem again… Error codes are obviously not saved. Maybe someone of you already had similar experience? Dear Greetings, Dave P.S. I used the search function, but nothing matching s found…

Hello, today suddenly had the following problem in the city traffic. In the traffic jam with depressed brake, suddenly the brake pedal continued to give way until it lay on the vehicle floor — small shock –. after further felt 10 seconds the car began to move slowly — shock with immediate sweat–. Immediately the automatic lever on P to prevent worse. after the traffic light immediately on a parking lot and visual control as far as possible, whether something can be recognized by the brakes (feigning kei Also under the vehicle and on the container to the extent visible, no loss of brake fluid to detect. I then tested if the vehicle can still be braked. YES- however only until the brake pedal is on the sheet again. at moderate speed approx. 2km on side road to a possible storage place and possible rental vehicle. After 200m drive no front assistant, no ACC possible, after 1km about AZEIG BREMSFLÜSSigkeit ! After the parking of the vehicle Bre However, no results were found for the visual inspection under the vehicle and on all brakes. Brakes before approx. 3000km (disk/block/liquid). KM Stand around 350000 vehicle is now near my workplace and I am home with a family car 70km. My guess is now a leaky main brake cylinder and that the brake fluid runs into the brake power amplifier. Is this problem known? if yes, both should be determined. (Even if Lüdinghausen has praised the good maintained condition this year) next Monday the vehicle will be brought into the workshop of my trust and went there for troubleshooting. Further report follows. A great help would be the original part number of the brake power amplifier for my Diva PS:239, engine capacity:2967, pollutant cl.:EURO-5, first registration:09/2008 engine code CEXA with ACC (Tempomat). As I womögli I would like to thank you very much to this forum that has helped me through the read posts so far. Harald

Today I wanted to replace my AGM battery. The preparation worked excellent thanks to the instructions of “Hoellenqualen” from 2013. The way was clear, all cables sufficiently laid aside. However, I got the battery only about 5cm raised, afterwards something stuck somewhere towards the rear light. I could not locate what and where it was. After 1h shake, dodge and always lift and lower again I gave up. I built everything together again to see which error messages would come and d a small round to turn. Result: outside of the clock nothing came. Windows, steering learned and clock set. Even the day kilometer counter was still up to date. As I said, I only look for someone who has made the exchange schionmal and with advice how I turn the battery and have to turn to the side of the site. Electrical / cable works everything, I have now already 1x built out and again.

Hello, Last summer I had my air conditioning replenished. Now for some time the ventilation stinks extremely when I turn on the air conditioning and then switch to ECON. If I run the air conditioning, it smells like nothing. If I run the ventilation after Klikma operation for 10 minutes at the highest level, the stench disappears slowly. Normally I switch the air conditioning 10 minutes before I switch the Autzo off to econ so that the residual moisture in the evaporator and W What do I pay for it at the VW dealer? I’m going to remember that these self-infection sets at Phaeton wouldn’t be good, because the interior sensor between the ash cups would not tolerate this. (I mean, I read this here in the forum.)

Hello dear forum friends I would like to create a collection of workshops with your help. Write your experiences about workshops of which you have the opinion since that you should not repair, wait there, etc.

the left (driver) wood cover for the ventilation remains open. until now it has done this only once or twice, but after manual operation on the climate control unit or ignition on /off closed again. when the others with manual operation close / open is from the left 4 times very quiet a ppz…, ppppz…, ppz…, ppz…, ppz… to hear. so obviously comes current. also the air distribution closes and opens i.o. – is the panel diagnostic? (should after something in f-s I assume that she has no SEPARATE security, also the current seems to arrive there (?) – how to get RIGHT? I have only raised the side plastic panel on the armature board, it does not come out because of the cover rope at the a-pillar. this can also not be removed nonviolently. you have to get away from the swollen cracking ? how is it right? WHO has DAMIT EXPERIENCE and can I CONTINUE …? THANK YOU !!

Hi, could someone tell me which is the latest software/firmware version of the RNS810 (Bj.9/09) that you can install?

Hello dear people, since the day before yesterday I finally have my GP3 and feel at home. Really a thoroughly great car, but one thing makes me really crazy and that’s the connection of my mobile phone. Vehicle is an MJ2012 GP with RNS810 but unfortunately no media-in interface. With my previous vehicles I have always connected the phone (Huawei P9) via Bluetooth and then heard it via Spotify. In the Touareg with RNS850 and i m Beetle with RNS510 is both absolutely no problem. Titles are displayed in the display and also skip titles is possible via the Mufu steering wheel and directly on the RNA. Unfortunately, all this does not work at all with the Phaeton now. If I select the mobile phone via the MFA couple and then still as a media player I can play music, but in the display of the RNA only “BluetoothAudio” stands. A control over the RNA or the Mufu steering wheel is not possible. That is already stupid, starting from now it’s going to be stupid! If I listen to music via the SD card now and then get a message via Whats app, the RNA jumps to Bluetooth audio and then stays there. I have to manually switch back to SD every time. In the meantime, I have “resolved” the connection of the media player again. Nevertheless, the RNA jumps to Bluetooth for every message. Switching to “only phone” in the settings didn’t help either. Is that the same with you? RNS Software update? Upgrade media-in interface and connect an iPod Touch with Spotify and insert a second-sim-card into the Nokia 6303 that was part of the Phaeton? I’m happy about ideas and/or reports like you solved that. Best regards Sebastian

hello together… is this a feature or a bug? sometimes my RNA is up and ready for use right after the start of the engine. but mostly, even after only a short parking, it takes forever until it is up. that’s annoying just when I want to park out, but can’t access the rear camera. what’s the cause? and are there solutions? also the steering wheel sometimes loses its adjustment out of the blue. time and again I’m on the trail. stand the tec hnik??? the automatic air turns off often idiosyncratic… is my phaeton a fun bird?
