Category: VW Phaeton Forum

Hello everyone, I’ve already been looking for suitable topics but I haven’t found anything really useful yet. And I have the feeling that the Phaeton has become louder lately. I take the cars out from the noise was much louder. Overall the noise level has risen. The car was quieter once! Does anyone know what that could be? Thomas

Hello, after which a lot has already been written about the problems of Phaeton, sometimes an “non-binding” question: Who is sooooo dissatisfied with his car that he would like to give it away? So I would take it, even for so-called “small money”. Furthermore a lot of fun in the forum…

@ Diesler, on Friday 700 km without trouble, on Sunday 800 km without trouble, even almost “extended” the thickness……. (was scared that he still takes gas at 230) Now in the city traffic jewails at the stop, so still with inserted “D” irregularities in the engine speed. So a slight interval-like turn up of the machine in the stand gas. Who knows the problem? Had this already a few weeks ago, but was then again several thousand km without this appearance.

The third major product maintenance (GP3) was presented in April 2010 at the Auto China 2010 in Beijing. Officially, the revised vehicle is offered as “The new Phaeton”.

Hello Phaetischisten, today at the traffic light: Vans suddenly roll backwards (somewhat down), wants to switch to the other track. RUMMS, the thickness has got one on the nose…. After exchange of the data review: The car sign is slightly indented in two places, number color somewhat scraped. Otherwise nothing can be seen. can be broken by the Rumms what you don’t immediately notice? Behind the car sign is certainly also a slight dent. Should I have the 🙂 and examined, or is it not worth the speech? Do you have experience?

Today I took my car out of the workshop, a familiar VW specialist. The front brakes and discs were replaced. I noticed at the first meters that brake pedal could be kicked very far and was very soft. I came up to the bottom sheet. So a few more tests were made. From about 30 km/h I can brake so strongly that the ABS jumps in. Then again to the workshop and the whole demonstration. Answer of the master: They still slow down and then also the pedal path gets shorter. Air can not be in the system, then it would not brake at all. So back home, after about 25 KM downtown. On the highway then stood the sweat beads on my forehead. At 160 Km/h jmd pulls over from the right lane. So I on the brake. And there is also not only a delay in the approach as I knew it. I was only a few meters away from a driving accident. I now drove about 120 KM and still have a soft pedal. Well, my questions can’t take you long as it takes time to have a tire?

I can’t confirm the majority of positive contributions here. Almost unbelievable what my Phaeton is doing so. It’s a 4.2 liter. It’s fully equipped, the new price moved around CHF 196’000.–. He has now nearly 100,000 km and I have to find out that the promised quality, the VW promised … “the best car in the world …” almost borders on improbability. So: all belt holders have fallen apart long ago. 2 out of four cup holders can no longer be fixed with the pressed position. the window at the back right can no longer be lowered. the dvd system for CHF 12,000.– does not work anymore. the lock button in the trunk has fallen apart. the fan engine for the air conditioning had to be replaced. the display for navigation, audio, etc. suddenly disappears, at some point it wakes up again to life. the drive unit rumbles like an old range rover. the cable harness in the trunk has fallen apart. the fan engine for the air conditioning had to be replaced. the display for navigation, audio, etc. at some point it suddenly, the car suddenly comes back to life again. I don’t have to find something else.

Today I had the opportunity to go with a business friend in his S class (S 500) Punkomüchte. The car is about 7 months old, and has almost 30,000 KM on the tacho. Anyway, it almost “cut me off” as it is in the S class “stinkt”. There are effusions present, the torment every nose…. Otherwise I can only say, the ride feeling and especially the space offered is absolute top! If one considers that the S class is also no bigger than a Phaeton, one asks oneself where this great space feeling comes from. The seat is perfect. If I make the seat completely back, I can not get to the pedals with my 192 cm body length. For me as a seat giant the place is even with a raised seat and with SD to the top gigantic. Schade VW with the Phaeton can not keep there. My business friend wanted to drive once W12. So we made a small round around “Dorf”. After a KhaM he meant “be softly” and “That’s got away from the good stuff.”

In the Touareg Facelift the 3.0 TDI with EU6 emission standard and 262 hp is now available. Is this engine possible this year from KW45 also in Phaeton? With a revised automatic transmission you should then come to a standard consumption of 7 to 7.5 l/100 km. Might not mean so much effort for VW but an effective improvement. @Volkswagen: Please implement! The Phaeton has earned it!!

Hello people, today I have a question to the “many phone operators”. I have about 700 business contacts in my iPhone. In my Phaeton Bj 2011 at the Premium an old rSAP capable Nokia mobile phone. But slowly the eternal entering of the phone numbers by hand on the RNA 810 goes against the line and I do not get shown who calls me. Which rSAP capable Händy that can be wonderfully synchronized with Outloop would you recommend me? Best regards, Ralph
