Category: VW Phaeton Forum

Good day together, the following situation. I bought a CC from a private person in Feb. 2018. The car had an NP of almost 65,000 euros built in 2013. I searched for such a car for a long time. Brown leather, camera, self steering systems, Dynaudio and then also R Line and much more. Now the car has run 148.000km and up to now there were no problems. I only had to change the spark plugs and new Xenon from Osram were installed. The inspections have always been carried out at VW. However, there is one thing I’m worried about. And that’s the fact that soon there are 150,000km on the clock. Now I’ve been thinking about switching to a Phaeton. Year of construction 2015 (because of the model maintenance) and a maximum of 90,000km. What’s your opinion? A car is the top in order to drive a Phaeton or drive the CC first? Sure, at the end of the day, the car is in order. e I have to decide for myself but I hope to have some arguments from the forum. Thank you very much.

Is there a W12 GP3 driver here? Wanted to compare various things to check if there are errors.

Hello everybody, dear Phaeton drivers! After reading a lot here I had to register now, because at the moment a problem is bothering me and I somehow don’t want to realize that the only way to the VW dealer is to lead. Problem: With my GP3-Phaeton with Kessy the second key has passed electronically. So it didn’t work anymore, and it wasn’t the battery. An electronics technician then examined the part and found that an important component on the platinum e is defective. Request from the VW dealer then resulted in an incomprehensible price of approx. 600 Euro for a factory new replacement key incl. learn here on site. So far, so bad. Thought to me then (perhaps a little naive…): Cann’t be sooo big problem, one reads again and again something about “learning keys” – get you just ‘n used, build-like Phaeton key and let it learn with the still working first key. My VW specialist had to give up after several attempts and inquiries in the VW Cosmos – apparently there has been something changed in the last years in WOB, because in the past it worked out well. And now no more, he definitely can not do it. I then asked at a car key service, and he said that he doesn’t do anything at Phaetons, because it is too dangerous for him from the electronics. already seen quite bad things with Phaetons, with which then nothing went on at all … Logically, of course, I don’t have a peek on it either. However, 600 € are of course really heavy for a second key … therefore my question to you: Is there another way? Does someone have experiences in more recent times with the learning of a used key? Does anyone even have a contact person who could help me there? Thanks in advance! 🙂

A hello to the Phaeton municipality, for 10 days now I am also the owner of a 2006 3.0 TDI, Cairo Grey, inside cinnamon seats combined with sun beige individual equipment. So after a short but intensive search I have found and have directly charged. So far at RMT-TUning I have a performance optimization as well as a complete painting of the doors, which were as you can safely think oxidized… The painting company works primarily for the railway and has ample experience It’s now my own question. It’s the Navi first series installed, I’m now familiar with the possibilities of conversion to Android and touch film and had ready contact with the Polish master. That’s not possible for me, because the price-performance ratio is not right for me. Of course, the Tesla Ali-Express conversion isn’t right. I would just like to use the ALu element and I am convinced that I will have a long rest, now the time will show it. I ordered an “Tangxi Auto WiFi Mirrorlink Box Auto WiFi Display Receiver Mirroring Box” from A and would like to see if this is a way. There is no TV installed from the factory, but the radio should have a connection. Unfortunately, a chinch won’t be there, but hopefully there will be an adapter. Who can explain me, knows how, has done something like this before, volunteers please step forward??. Greetings from Saxony-Anhalt Mario

Hello dear forum, probably I will be able to take over my new used Phaeton on Friday, 01.03.19. Delivery condition is summer tyres, which is why I should probably or badly buy a few snow boots for the thickness. I shot myself on 18″ because I can also buy adequate rims here and now it’s about the brand and the model of the tires. Choose: BRIDGESTONE Blizzak LM-32 VREDESTEIN Wintrac xtreme S GOODYEAR UltraGrip Performanc e G1 MICHELIN Alpin A5 I’ve already found my favourite, but I wanted to hear your opinion. All 4 sets move within the region 545,- to 578,- plus mounting-related question: Can I temporarily deactivate tyre pressure monitoring? Thank you for your opinions.

Hi guys, on eBay there is currently a V6 TDI in it, which has the rear apron base of the W12 on it. Do I understand correctly that the lowermost approach is changed and the two square double tubes are fixed in this apron? So you can just tuash the base and doie existing tubes of the two ESD behind it remain unchanged and show on the ground? Is this also possible with the latest thickness? Do the end tubes of the China 6.0lers find fully horny… Part numbers maybe someone to the H and? Greetings

Sorry to bother you with such a thing, especially since my vehicle still has factory warranty and I could drive to the friendly one. But that is somehow too stupid with such a problem: I used the ashtrays exclusively as a coin compartment; in the left compartment a euro, in the right compartment nothing at all. About 2 weeks ago the left compartment did not open anymore. I didn’t care relatively much about that, I first copied the euro in it and with my euro in the right ace The same thing happened to me today. I swear that in both cases I did nothing but close the drawer with moderate pressure. As long as both still worked, the compartment was about one millimeter ahead. Now the compartments are about one millimeter inside. Is there a way to get the things out again without scratching everything? I would be very grateful for a tip. Max

Moin together, I was yesterday in Lüdinghausen in the well-known workshop, because there some Phaeton friends met for screwing, nonsense and Zottel’s good coffee. Was once again funny and informative. And since there was a W12er standing there for slaughter, which still had the shift paddle, I slammed it and bought it and Zottel also built it up immediately. Was a nice nice meeting with nice people. And the weather was also great. I took a few pictures that I attached below. Thanks again to Alex for the Navi extension. (Daumen up) LG Jürgen

Hello dear community, I am in a few days proud owner of a VW Phaeton 3.0 TDI built in 2008. Unfortunately, this is currently only equipped with 17 inch winter tires. Soon the winter season is over and I am now looking for a suitable rim + tire for the summer season. I would appreciate your tips and suggestions very much with pictures! Dear community I count on you! Thank you in advance and the best greetings from NRW Gabriel L.

Hello everyone! This is what I say to all of us in the operating instructions: Functions of the starter button 1. Press once to the first stage = Unlock the steering lock. 2. Press again to the first stage = Turn on ignition. 3. Press again to the first stage = Turn off ignition. 4. Press once to the second stage = Start engine. 5. Press again to the second stage = Turn off engine, turn off ignition. 6. Once longer than one S press the first step = lock the steering lock again. With me he only does 1, 2, 4 and 5. I looked longer in the RNS810 setup, searched for in the WWW and here. Don’t fight this, but would like to use 3 and 6 too. Does someone have a advice for me? Greeting and nice WE at the carnival/fasching. Werner
