Hello, I drive a long wheelbase 3.0 TDI 4 seater Bj 2009 Since the latest, I have broken the display, button for assistance systems, everything works except the dead angle warner in the mirrors. What can be broken? My 2nd problem is the trunk lock, since I have already built everything apart and checked it incl. wire harness it can only be the micro switch. Does someone have a lock lying there ? To test / buy ? Thank you and greeting Eisi

Hello! In the dark season the funzels on 8 year old Phaeton are too dark for me. Is there the possibility to install bright approved LEDs? If so with which pears have you had good experience? Thank you, dear Toni

Hello guys, does someone know if the OBD can is due to continuous voltage after ignition? I would like to send a Bluetooth dongle data to my phone. The dongle should always remain in the OBD can. I have read that in some vehicles with continuous voltage on the OBD can the Bluetooth dongle prevents that some ECUs go into sleep mode… Would be stupid, of course, if the comfort battery sucked out we, if the car is standing a few days, because the dongle at voltage at the Can constantly sends … Best regards, Ralph

Bon dia, yesterday it showed here a true face to see the expected temperatures. Unfortunately, the car promptly announced its lack of enthusiasm for it. The following symptoms have been shown: 1. In total the air was despite setting LOW and on all seats never really cold … for this I think first of all the coolant must check. But: 2. At the middle out came right rel. cold air, while on the driver side only lukewarm soup I ran through the SSP 271 times because I suspected a defective at the Temp. sensor, but there’s only one. Does anyone have an explanation for me?

We should try to put something on our feet with the GMD for the 20th anniversary. I can’t answer the following question first: When is the anniversary? – Groundbreaking ceremony GMD? (Wasn’t that in 1999?) – Start of production Phaeton? (Was that in 2001?) – First delivery Phaeton? (That was in 2002?) I hope the wisdom of the forum finds a good answer.

I saved the following problem with My Thickness 2008er 3.0 V6 The suction tube flaps with the entry adjustment ,without function ,(static) and AGR valve Druchsatz too low (sporadic), the suction tube flaps were replaced and the AGR valve cleaned and with a vacuum pump on function p. After that he had the problem Lampda worth too fat, error memory was deleted about 20 km. But now you go into the full load range so kick down, error lamp and engine check L error memory entry changes between or at the same time: fuel pressure is too low below limit value (sporadic = I suspect because it is only at KICK Down) and AGR valve throughput is too low (static or sporadic) is different return quantity was measured with all cylinders the same, but what I noticed was that from the return lines diesel flowed out and not very little normal white should nevertheless the setbackventi l prevent this? The other thing is it squirts quite strongly, possibly a spray nozzle defective? can of course also have the following – pressure sensor for rail pressure sensor – fuel filter (no idea when the last time was exchanged) – or the high pressure pump that the pressure will no longer be required at KICK Down? what can you tell me about this?

Hello, I have been the owner of a VW Phaeton W12 with the newer 450hp machine for a few days now. The car was quite cheap but has a transmission damage, which is expressed in that from 4000U/min no more power transmission takes place and it as soon as one leaves the car terribly clattered. The car was actually intended as part carrier for my A8 4E W12, but I do not bring it on the basis of the condition and would like to prepare it. At the A8 I had the transmission The Phaeton doesn’t seem to have a 6HP26, but a 5HP24. In addition, I have read something about an unreachable screw on the top of the gearbox at the Phaeton, so the engine has to come out with it. Can one of you confirm that or is there another way to get the gearbox out without expanding the engine? MfG Max

Hello, my new phone (Pixel 7 Pro) seems to support rSAP. At least the coupling process is different and on the display of the mobile phone a message appears that the SIM card of “VW Phone” is used. After coupling is also in the Tachodisplay “Premium” and the SIM card (I have two in the phone) shows no connection on the mobile phone. In my understanding the function uses the antenna of the Phaeton – which means better reception. No 4G/5G, which is why the functionality is very limited. In the (partly very old) posts I found, I read that the Google Maps function only works via rSAP. However, this is now set. I was surprised that I still got notifications on the mobile phone and am also still “online”. It is impossible that this traffic runs over the second SIM card. Now my questions: 1.) Do I have a thinking error or is it correct that the data connection despite a ktivierten rSAP on mobile phone continues to work? 2.) Is there any reliable reason in 2022 to connect via rSAP? If this is limited to the external antenna, the function is counted anyway because GSM shutdown. Thank you!
