Hello, have the “problem” that if I drive with my thickness at the current temperatures, the windows are completely free. If I then switch off the car after the ride (whether 1/2, 1 or more hours), the windows are completely fogged on during my re-ice climb. I always have to turn on the front and rear window heating that I can see. The windows in the front and rear are then slowly free but the side windows on the rear seats remain fogged. Every time I turn off the car and get back in the car on the same day, I’ve already checked all areas in the interior for moisture, which could cause the biotope to develop. But if it’s not wet (because I’ve read, wet passenger footroom=controllers in danger) and the inside temperature is set at 22° when driving. It looks stupid if you have to defog the car before every trip to go. Thanks sulu_1

Hello together, after I checked through some FAQs on the Phaeton I came up with a question that I have not considered so far. Since I have only looked for a Phaeton V6 TDI so far, was not so present with the 3.6 V6. However, some contributions to the 3.6 are quite interesting. Is the difference in performance clearly noticeable? Some describe the 3.0 TDI already as undermotorized. I do not have to have a V8. Therefore rüc The 3.6 is now more focused. How big is the difference between the 3.0 and the 3.6? Greetings

Hello, my bike bearing – I guess back right – is making increasing noises, since about 1,000 km. Since I have 1,500 km in front of me next week and small spare car, the following question: When should one change a bike bearing at the latest? Which signals should one pay attention to??? Thank you in advance for your answers! P. S: 138.000 km / Built. 07-2010

Dear screwdrivers and electricians, after the exchange of the transverse handlebar bushings, error memory was read out. It often happens “short circuit after mass”, especially at the rear flap lock which by the way no longer works when you press on the VW emblem. All other rear flap switches still work. At some point I have read here about a problematic wire harness. Could this be the cause? Where can I find this or what is the right chapter in EPAS? This was a mechanical problem, however, it is really quite “flimsy” built. Here is the protocol. When the memory was deleted the last time I can not say. May be that the errors have accumulated over several years. Thanks already for possible hints and greetings, Thomas 11 error codes found: 00668 – Onboard voltage terminal 30 002 – below limit – Sporadic 00576 – terminal 15 008 – unplausible signal – sporadic 01141 – switch for rear flap unlocking (E165) 007 – short circuit after mass – sporadic 00325 – button for rear window opening (E361) 007 – short circuit after mass – sporadic 00901 – rear-view lamps 009 – interruption/short circuit after mass 01331 – door control driver side (J386) 002 – lower limit – sporadic 01332 – door control passenger side (J387) 002 – lower limit – sporadic 01333 – door control guesses rear left (J388) 002 – lower limit below – Sporadic 01334 – door control unit rear right (J389) 002 – lower limit below – Sporadic 00318 – supply voltage for control unit for tailgate 002 – lower limit below – Sporadic 00896 – closing unit tailgate (F256) 008 – unplausible signal – Sporadic

Moin moin and happy new to everyone! have recently run the following problem with my Phaeton 3.0 TDI over 300tsd: There comes a loop noise from the engine compartment both in stand as well as while driving. Have read it out with the OBD and the following errors are displayed: DTC P0046 DTC P0299 Is the turbocharger completely defective or only VTG or similar? Best regards and thanks for your help!

Hello, during the approach with VCDS to the topic “non-functioning soft-close driver door” I had read that the actuator diagnosis is done in the menu comfort control unit. Oh yes, GP2, EZ11/09. It was also done until the entry “motor for central locking driver door (V56); LOCK” There it hangs, no progress after half an hour. Several times tried (and iii always I have to close the tank flap again, what for unnecessary procedures 🙂 ) Selective diagnosis is not possible. How? It is meant the ZV motor, not the softclose motor, right? Even if the problem is 98% of the microswitch, I would like to make a diagnosis. Is there another possibility besides the sequential procedure? Where can I take out V56? That’s how ‘self-locked’ hangs and you can’t get any further. edit: with the hire handle the button is dead. Can it have an influence? Then still: With the extended values “Interior door – handle button” says unacted, even if I use it exterior door handle grip says actuated when I pull it. It’s obviously both for the driver’s door. For the passenger and other doors, unfortunately, I don’t see these parameters to check against. Please accept any tip for further advance search, the goal is to keep the actual repair time as short as possible.

Hello together, drive a Phaeton model 2006 and have only problems with the paint. So far it has been painted four times including new doors and tailgate. The last time he was even driven to Dresden in the glass manufactory. Although everything is on cull, but damn annoying. As a plant two sides from the added court TPI, in which is precisely listed, what this is for a production error, what measures have to be taken and how the culant is regulated. Can also gladly all S the TPI.

Hello municipality, I have the following problem. With my Phaeton 3.0 TDI, Bj 2008,GP 1, Sunday was changed due to a leak of the capacitor, refrigerants filled up and the error memory read / quenched. Air conditioning ran until this morning also wall-free. Then in the afternoon the surprise, vehicle was heated up and air conditioning also jumped on (ventilation full pull). After about 4 minutes the ventilation subsided and there was no more cooling power. After a short shopping stop, the air conditioning system started again after restarting the engine (good cooling power) and then switched off again after a few minutes. Once again, the engine was turned off, briefly maintained and restarted, air conditioning was running again. What about the cuckoo can that be? ???? Has anyone had a similar phenomenon or can help me? Can the air conditioning system be reset manually and without error-reading device? If yes, how does it work? Greeting Torsten
