Good evening dear Forumians, my Diva (V6 TDI, GP3, BJ 2011, 158 tkm) was hardly driven between Christmas and New Year and last week, when everyday life began, starting to harden both in cold and warm conditions (small noticeable bumps and quasi “think customers” incl. R and N). The previous owner received a flushing according to TE method in November 2019, 12 L Fuchs ATF 608 and ZF Filter Kit. Does anyone have a recommendation for me before a swap orgie starts? Thank you!

Hello people, I have been looking for light machines at ebay and found you somewhat uncertain about the many light machines. I asked myself at vw which light machines I need exactly….Answer…. 07c903018x …..but now I have found another 3021G in the end has instead of 3018X which is also a lot cheaper. Has someone made the experience with it whether this model of the light machine with the 3021G also fits my Pheaton. Thanks in advance ??

Hello together With the SW update from version 1222 to 3218 something went wrong. All bars went through 100%, only then at Gateway has hung up. But this had at this time also 0%. Then came the software build error. Now it reads in the update CD, but I can not start or cancel the update anymore, because the touch does not work. My question is now, can I get out of there somehow or there is an option to start the update manually. Can I get J send help? (And no it was no original VW-CD) Thank you very much for your answers

Greetings to the round! I recently bought a Phaeton from 2013. Very satisfied, of course, is not a new car anymore, but I knew that before. I only have a small problem now, maybe someone already had it in the round. With me the display with climate control is temporarily off. In addition, also error Sign Assist. The next day it goes again and then falls after you have used the vehicle again again. Are Nav i and Climatronic control panel one unit? Unit in the back works yes. Has anyone ever had the same problem in the forum? LG John

What did I have to do with it? What did I do with it? What did I do with it? What did I do with it? What did I do with it? What did I do with it? What did I do with it? What did I do with it? What did I do with it? What did I do with it? What did I do with it? My smartphone was connected immediately, only when I studied the instructions etc. I noticed that I was not yet connected to the “Premium” mobiphone preparation. This would also be displayed with the Bluetooth sign?). I wanted to use the Google services for the Navi and hope for even better sound reception. I have a LG G6, what rSap has. But if I wanted to start the Google service, I always got the message “no rSAP connection of your phone” or something similar. The same thing I did with a Galays S10+ so I played around with the settings and also studied manuals and forums – but I didn’t really get smarter, actually I blocked it. I chose to change it again in the menu “SIM” and tried to connect with it again. I entered the password.

Hey. The Phaeton gets only current over the start battery, which is half full. Cockpit the lights on, however immediately yellow writing arrives. System error – workshop. Schlüsrlsymbol lights up, car makes no sound. Start and close can not be with both keys

Good morning community, I can start my SH manually, but it’s not possible via the FB (Batteries O.K.) With the vehicle I have my first winter season – that’s why I never tried it so far and I never noticed it. Do you have to learn the FB? If so, can I do it myself or do the workshop? Complicated – or a thing of minutes?

Hello from the ice-cold, snow-covered Bavarian forest. So that everyone knows what comes to them in the case of a case, here a short demolition. When I drove towards a large clear crossing yesterday evening in the event of rising darkness I had switched on the ACC and wanted to slow down the thickness with the button. Unfortunately, this went a little too slow but it was far and wide no car to see. So I just before the crossing (I wanted to turn right) slightly kicked the brake. Since it was a little smooth I put a 20m drift on all fours. Unfortunately, I underestimated the weight a little bit, but otherwise I am not a careless driver. If there are vehicles I let such tests be. The Phaeton breaks out at the rear lightly and very controllable and slips away at the front too, the ESR regulates discreetly and tries to stabilize. Depending on whether it is only slippery or mirrored, it regulates more or less. With a light and soft counter steering movement I have continued the ride at 90 degrees angle, first with the half of the car on the road.

Hello dear community! How is the VW Group dealing with the alternative drives? Audi obviously has real problems offering a hybrid in the A8. There’s probably nothing in the Phaeton either. There’s nothing to find on the homepage. Maybe I missed something too. Mercedes-Benz has the S400 Hybrid, BMW offers the X6 with hybrid drive. But on the VW/Audi pages … there’s nothing to find. The new A8 comes with 4.2 TDI and FSI engine – no hybrid! Too bad, the competition runs away again with seven-mile boots and then you wonder why this happened / happened. Does any of you know anything more?

Hello, I came home a bit worried today. And I noticed that something in the front (probably engine room or even the engine itself) rattles pretty much after the gas-give. If I let it really turn up to about 3000 upm zb. and then walk away from the gas, the ratter stays the longest, about 3-4 seconds. Then everything is normal again and the engine runs quiet. I wanted to find out exactly where it comes from, but as soon as I am in front of the car it is gone again^^ So the course is: giving gas – gas away – an eyelash after the speed is again idle starts for 1-4 seconds the ratter (depending on how high I had it turned before). I have never noticed the noise before, therefore I am particularly worried now. For clarification I made a recording and attached here. Most clearly you can hear it at the end of the recording. Data: Phaeton V10 TDI, almost 140 tkm, service in 400 km. (Here a short 2nd question: Is it particularly bad when I refer to the service of 6 km. I really can’t express my greetings to Vienna.
