  • Don’t start, not a single function, display bells stay out

    Hello, I parked my vehicle. When I came back I was able to open the doors / trunk lid as always with the key, but when I wanted to start, it was called kplt. Stillness. I took the spare key and the same result. An additional starter battery was connected in the engine compartment to the red and sw. terminal, but unfortunately also no change. Can someone please help me ? MfG. Leon

  • V6 TDI: growling sound in the stand, vibrations in the interior clearly noticeable (lenkrad and seat)

    A warm Moin here in the round, Since the end of January I am now proud owner of a Phaeton (V6 TDI, EZ. 10.2004, only real 45.TKM, quite fully equipped, very well maintained). I had obtained from you a decision-making advice. Thanks again for that. After a month and already 3 workshop visits (but only small stuff, which had to be made, car rental was provided free of charge: Skoda Superb, Polo, Golf)) I need your advice again: For about a week and a half comes fol The engine becomes noticeably “crumbled” and louder when braking down (e.g. before the traffic light, starting at about 30 kmh). It doesn’t matter whether the engine is still cold or has already reached operating temperature (90 degrees oil and water temperature). However, the idle or standing speed is constant (about 800 tours) and there are no bumps up or down. If I switch the car from N to D and hold it with the brake, it is a very small amount. But there are clearly vibrations in the interior: in the seat and also in the steering wheel. Even some passengers noticed this without saying anything. I don’t want to say that you would have the feeling that you are sitting on the engine block, but Phaeton-like is by no means. I have already driven 4 diesels before (four and six cylinders, pump nozzle and also commonrail). In no case was that s o. So I was back in the VW workshop on Thursday/Friday and I monetized it. I insisted that the master drive in my presence. He just said he didn’t notice anything and that’s normal. He kept the car there to drive him again “cold” the next morning. I told him the few things I could find out about the search function here (Glühkerzen?, gear oil?). When I picked him up on Friday, nothing had improved. the fault memory showed nothing. Oh, before I forget it: the gearbox switches really buttery soft, gear changes can only be seen via the switch indicator. The first two weeks were without fault and blame. . . . (at least engine-moderate). I have also groped in the Audi forum, is the same engine. But I could not really find something there either. Do you have an idea (before I bring the thickness to another VW workshop soon) Dear greetings

  • Start Phaeton without ZAB

    Hello, After a long “inactivity” I hope to come back to a new project that I have spun out. But before I continue to plan here I hope for expert help I would like to completely replace the ZAB (so the PC in the center console) with a solution. Soft and hardware side would be no problem for me (CAN Analyzer if there is no protocol documentation, etc. is everything available). But for testing and analyzing it would be best so now my question: Can I start the Phaeton *unsafe* without an infected ZAB? That then radio, etc. do not work is clear to me of course Best regards, Alexander

  • What was the cost of the DSP 12/12 in the GP1 back then?

    Hello, I’d be interested in what the DSP 12 in the GP1 2007 cost at that time. Background is that the reperatures at Phaeton (192000km) have been accumulating lately and I’m thinking about a successor. We ordered my wife a golf with Dynaudio (670 or 690 euros extra charge), the car was delivered 4 weeks ago and I have to say the sound is according to my feeling underground compared to the Phaeton. Actually my newer should also become a golf But the sound with and without Dynaudio is not acceptable to me. Now I am already superior to a 2012 or 2013 Phaeton With Dyn. Temptation to get what my wife would probably not like (because of the maintenance costs). Which middle class has vernünfigigen sound ex works, C class with Burmester, BMW 3er with H/K? I know, car search for sound is perhaps a bit crazy, but for me most important. What do you think?

  • Automatic transmission question General

    Hello together, every automatic driver knows it. When you insert D the car, even without gas, drives forward. At the traffic light you leave D inserted and step on the brake. Question: What happens when D is inserted and you step on the brake? Is it as if the car is constantly trying to drive forward and I hold it with the brake (if yes I would switch to N with longer hold times) or does the electronics notice that you want to stand and turn off the “discharge”?

  • Seat ventilation defective

    Hello dear ones, in view of the rising outside temperature I tried once unsuccessfully to start the seat ventilation… On the passenger seat you can notice a very easy “inflating” and air also comes. The sound of the fan is gaaanz quiet to hear. On my side – it is clear – nix On Erwin I found nothing that would be clear and with VAGfans the number of fans is indicated with 4. Heese 2 seat, 2 backrest … seems to me a little luxuriant … Ask the experts: Si Is there 1 or 4 fans per seat? And do you get to the fans from below or at the back? Or do you have to remove the covers? Am I right in assuming that the engines are most likely to be defective or can a STG be involved? VCDS does not show any errors so far. “Recoveries off” would then be a clear case against my patience and rather for the one made. Many greetings Robbi p.s.: Tim Taylor: “Patience is my second first name; why is everyone getting upset when I houp in traffic…”

  • Tyreswearing for/deep laying/axesMeasurement

    Who despite lowering and 19 or 20 inch tires did not have a significantly too large tire wear on the inside of the front tires. I had an axle measurement made about 10tkm ago because of increased tire wear. Now I saw today on the rest site that the inside of the front tires have already gone so far that fabric can be seen. On the run area the tire has completely gone down over the entire width. Only the inside sides are complete As if you have peeled off the last 2cm. If someone doesn’t have this problem with a lower-legged vehicle and 19 or 20 inches and could set the axle measurement protocol. According to the expression, the protocol of my measurement is in order of the values, but since I have already made countless axle measurements myself, I also know how easy it is to submit a top protocol to the customer, although the setting was not made 100%.

  • RDK: “radio interference”-“no signal”-“electric fault in the circuit”

    In the SuFu I found nothing for this case: I got a GP3 from November 2011 (MJ2012). Originally the RDK system worked normally: 2016 Bought – SR with sensors: Display i.O. 2016 December – WR without sensors: Warning, then system disabled – as expected 2017 Spring – same SR as when buying, positions exchanged: were detected, Display i.O. 2017 Winter: as in the year before 2018 06.-07.02.: Change windshield after rockfall. On 09.02. wide ride in the winter holidays 2018 March: Error memory read out after workshop stay (brakes, brake discs front). Errors are displayed, dated 6.2. and 9.2. 2018 Spring: when switching to the known SR (positions changed untypically): Sensors are not detected. Error delete leads to a new error message, last tried yesterday. I drove the summer with disabled RDK system, but bought my new WR RDK sensors VCDS-Log from March 2018: —————————————– ———————- Address 65: Tyre printing Label file:. 7L6-907-273.lbl Part number SW: 7L6 907 273 G HW: 7L6 907 273 G Component: J0502 RDK 0007 Revision: 00004007 Serial number: 00000600014479 Coding: 264900648C97BF00000000000 Operating no.: WSC 01065 000 00000 VCID: 3C4F40787C8181A43D-FFFE 6 Error codes found: 01840 – Antennas for tyre pressure monitoring 012 – electrical fault in circuit – warning light Environment conditions: Error status: 11101100 Missing rpriority: 3 Frequency: 15 Leverage counter: 39 Kilometer level: 70396 km Time: 0 Date: 2018.03.09 Time: 15:28:51 Ambient conditions: (no unit): 140.0 02421 – Transmission unit in wheel box for tyre pressure control left front (G431) 004 – no signal/communication – warning light ONE Ambient conditions: Error status: 11100100 Error priority: 3 Frequency frequency: 1 Leverage counter: 22 Kilometer level: 68315 km Time: 0 Date: 2018.02.06 Time: 16:37:07 Ambient conditions: (no unit): 130.0 02422 – transmission unit in wheel box for tyre pressure control front right (G432) 004 – no signal/communication – warning light ONE ambient conditions: error status: 11100100 error priority: 3 error frequency: 15 failure counter: 38 mileage: 68315 km time: 0 date: 2018.02.06 time: 16:37:07 ambient conditions: (no unit): 133.0 02423 – transmission unit in wheel box for tyre pressure control rear left (G433) 004 – no signal/com munication – warning light ONE ambient conditions: error status: 11100100 error priority: 3 error frequency: 15 error counter: 38 mileage: 68315 km time: 0 date: 2018.02.06 time: 16:37:07 ambient conditions: (no unit): 136.0 02424 – transmission unit in wheel box for tyre pressure control rear right (G434) 004 – no signal/communication – warning light ONE ambient conditions: error status: 11100100 error priority: 3 error frequency: 15 error counter: 38 Kilometer: 68315 km Time: 0 Date: 2018.02.06 Time: 16:37:07 Ambient conditions: (no unit): 139.0 02807 – Radio interference 000 – – – Warning light EIN Ambient conditions: Error status: 11100000 Error priority: 4 Error frequency: 1 Loss counter: 24 Kilometer: 68367 km Time specification: 0 Date: 2018.02.09 Time: 14:46:38 Ambient conditions: (no unit): 66.0 ————————————————————————————————- ECU J502 (ei nschl. plugs and interiors) are apparently (no wire breaks, no liquid traces or similar).

  • V8 and W12 gas retrofitting. Problems with missing reports from Vialle GAG

    So people I have the following problem the Mrs. Glane from the Vialle gas plant is no longer in the actual workshop and you can hardly reach them. I have a gas plant that has no papers and is not registered in my Phaeton. The installation was last year. The problem is that my TÜV next month I will probably not get one because this gas plant is not registered. Supposedly she has applied for insolvency I have from her Owner heard, he has this information from second hand and does not know exactly. First, I have a problem with my gas system which should actually be handled via the guarantee. And second, just that I will no longer get a Tüv. Who knows more or can help me?
