  • Phaeton production downtime

    Hello dear Phaeton friends, is the Phaeton really no longer being built? And is anyone informed whether the production will be re-recorded before hopefully the P2 will appear? Greetings, Phaetonatics

  • Line system Power steering

    Hello community, I have a Phaeton 3.0 TDI Model 2005 and 2 days ago the front left directly at the edge of the shock rod is located a medium large spot oil. Today we removed the cover inside wheelwheel and found that one of the steel cables from the power steering has a crack because of rust. My question now, there is a Rep Kit or really has to out the whole line, which will be an immense effort. On the one picture it is the outer line above. No for your answer.

  • Volkswagen “Phaeton D2″… it would have been nice!

    There was even a ready-to-drive specimen Here are some pictures and some reading material: KLICK

  • Bright LED interior light in Phaeton in 5 minutes…

    Hello, the interior light in the Phaeton is a funzel. Weak, yellowish light always puts me on the reading light. (Hello WOB ́s, that always goes with the Touareg automatically: inside light turns on the reading lights to it! Can you do that (next)?) So LED SMD had to come here to finally write the travel book with bright light. How do you have to proceed? Quite simply, if you look at the pictures. With a plastic card the disc from the front (i.e. at the Se Then it clicks and the disc drops out. Attention: the microphone from the phone and the voice control is attached to the left. Don’t tear it off! Then just remove the three soffit lamps and use the new LED SMD. My luminaire version is marked as not dimmable. It works perfectly. Dimming is not quite as elegantly slow. However, it is ok. I have in a neighboring electronic charger Figure 8 shows an LED in the middle and the yellowish incandescent lamps outside. Then two more bought after. You can also see a source of exactly these lights in picture 3. My installation tip is without guarantee. The installation takes place on your own responsibility. Have fun with it. Momo

  • Phaeton compared

    Like a boss in a luxury youth car starting from 5,000 euros Does the VW Phaeton wrestle the Mercedes S-Class?http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/…/…chtwagen-luxus-12689553.html

  • Strong flapping at the front on cobblestones

    Moin, last summer 2022 I got a 3.0 TDI from 2014 with approx. 80 T km. This is my sixth Phaeton since 2007. While the 5 predecessors had no quirks, the current strong flap in the front car shows, if you drive over cobblestones or bad road distances. One has the impression that the flap comes con front left. It is remarkable that the flap stops when you turn left or right! In my village forge I already have couplers, upper handlebars left and axial joint with track rod can be changed left, unfortunately without success! Now tap on flaps he steering and want to improve the grease. The contract workshop near me also suspected the steering after extensive investigations, but do not want to give any guarantee that after the expensive replacement of the steering (2865 €) the problem has been solved. Then I was also at the DEKRA: the experienced examiner closes after he has the vehicle on various test trays He said that it was usually a banal cause, a pipe or something like that. But then why not in cornerings? Maybe there is someone among you who has gone through similar things and found the cause just before the madness!? Greeting Joachim

  • V8 vs. V6 TDI – from which mileage is the diesel worth?

    It is about economic efficiency. What are the assessments / experiences ? Vehicle would be GP3/4 long each.

  • Instructions for burning the heater free

    Hello, my auxiliary heating (GP0, 3.0 TDI, Original SH, Bj 2006) has stopped operation and locked itself. A friend with VCDS has read out the error codes: 01412 – Fire candle with flame monitoring (Q8) 010 – Interruption/short circuit after Plus – Sporadic 01412 – Fire candle with flame monitoring (Q8) 008 – unplausible signal 02251 – heater locked After unloading and unlocking it can now be started again but without noticeable heating power everything goes again after approx. 4 minutes from: I found some clues that the glow candle can be burned free with VCDS or via Webasto DIAGNOSE, but unfortunately no concrete instructions can be found, especially not for the Phaeton. If someone can post these here or link them, that would be very nice thanks Moseltaler

  • There are also battery wonders!

    Again and again there are new topics about the two batteries of the Phaeton, which either say goodbye early or lead to electronic errors due to deep discharge. Therefore, I would like to open a positive battery topic: My Phaeton 3.0 TDI Built. 12/2008 still drives stand today (Km-Stand 170205) with the first batteries, i.e. both comfort and starter battery. I am lantern parker, i.e. my fatter gets snow, ice, rain and cold. If I think about it, or if the heater doesn’t start due to undervoltage, I charge the starter battery and then the comfort battery with my Cetek. Last weekend I charged both batteries again and read the stamped production date on the poles: 42/08 and 41/08 One more time should say that the Phaeton is a diva… Of course I also know, that this is certainly an absolute exception, but I think this battery power is worth a report here.

  • Stand-alone heating starts on its own

    Hello together! Despite the fact that I do not open double or triple threads on this topic! If yes, sorry for it! My problem: Have a Phaeton V6 Diesel year 06!2010! Very often it happens that after a ride and subsequent parking of the vehicle somehow seems to be getting the heater. I get out of the vehicle and then you can hear the heater starting like a turbine. Also it often smells like the typical Die This would not be so bad if I did not have the feeling that the consumption of the board computer unfortunately does not correspond to the consumption of the tank. It is a good one litre above the computer consumption. The extra consumption would be explained by the almost constant start of the stand heating when the vehicle is switched off! Has someone already had similar problem with the stand heating or an idea about it. Thank you already for your comments!
