Category: VW Phaeton Forum

after I wanted to have an appointment in the VW car dealership to check my chassis…. background, my Phaeton “rumbles” on a bad distance, and actually passes through every channel cover clearly. I don’t know the behavior of my previous Phaeton. I had pushed that to my winter tires in the last weeks. But…… with the recently installed summer bikes it is the same. And, no, it’s not 19″ but 17″ wheels. Anyway, I have massive doubts about the competence of the car dealership…. Gruss pesbod

Moin moin ! first of all I have to introduce myself ! I am now proud owner of a PHAETON 4.2 with lpg ! since I on google at problem time again on the sides of motortalk and unfortunately no advice find I decided to describe my problem with the fat to get advice from you ! The error nr. 1 before some weeks went the mkl! I went into the workshop ! the error secondary air too low on bench 1 and 2 ! errors deleted continued ! 3 days later date in the workshop pump runs but mkl again ! another 1 week later again in the workshop this time the mechanic with pressure air blown off and the pump to establish whether what and is wrong ! to test whether the pump runs we have the temperature sensor off and when switched on the ignition the pump runs like normal ! after that the mechanic with pressure air is blown in the pipes to determine whether or not to give again the error is installed !

Hi, call me back from the holiday and I forgot to remove the ceiling in the trunk during the closing process, which was half straight out… Now I have the salad, the ceiling looks half out, the trunk is closed and it reacts nothing, absolutely bombproof…Can I somehow lock the trunk, if yes how? The lock does not react on the key when I try to open the flap Manually…Do not want to use too much violence, Werkst only unfortunately the trunk is full of food, gifts, fresh as well as old clothes and especially the magnificent French cheese… … … ahhhh … !!! … and now :/? *Edit: If important, Phaeton Bj. 2008 *Search function has been used several times, only unfortunately as usual very modest results, if that ever finds anything… google that is significantly more effective.

Hello, the topic with the ventilation flaps has been discussed more often, but unfortunately the discussions in the sand have gone and there was never a real solution. The topic starter, who had exactly the same problem as me, unfortunately does not answer to the PN…. Therefore I open the topic again. Now to my problem: If it is outside cooler (<17 °C) I drive so ECON AN WITHOUT air conditioning. The flaps stay closed, unless the sun comes out, then the flaps drive Is the sun gone again, the flaps are closed again. That's how it should be, or ? If I turn on the climate so ECON off, the flaps will stay on (until the sun comes) when the flaps are up, they will stay on. Come what will! Since everything is on my car, the blower strength will be reduced automatically. The fan runs to level 1 !!!! But no, the fan is running to level 1 !!!! e flaps stay on .... The temperature is kept great and it is always pleasant in the vehicle. The interesting thing is that the outflow area below the windshield is cold and minimal air comes out there. With the open flaps no more air comes out. So I strongly assume that the indirect ventilation works. Only without closing the ventilation flaps. Even if I am still on the road at night, the flaps remain on.... If the ventilation flaps are heavily dampened with condensation water, if I park the vehicle and drive it again. Except the solar ventilation is activated, then the flaps do not close. Is this normal ? If no, what do you need to check and where is what you should check ? Vehicle is a V6 TDI Built. 12/2008 Thank you for your help !

Hello, I’ve had a Phaeton for about 5 weeks. and with me the radio is constantly rushing. Always at a distance of a few seconds a rush or crackle. Sometimes for a few minutes everything is OK, and then again. About CD everything is crystal clear, so I think lies at the reception. The soft and hardreset on the ZAB (audio key and then reset key for a long time) I tried out, but nothing changed. I was already 2 times in the workshop and then was told that we only have n 90% reception quality measured, is normal. That’s all we can’t do. Doesn’t know what that could be? If it’s nothing great, I’d rather screw around on my car myself. It’s really no fun listening to the radio. I had an A3 sportsback 6 years ago, where I didn’t hear a noise once. It was a “The World Car” Phaeton from 09/2008. The 3.0TDI with 239hp, so GP 1.5 or? I also have 11 months guarantee he on it. Otherwise I am super satisfied with the car and it just drives great. mfg Tino

Hello, my Phaeton is going – after taking off the ignition key – the blower for the interior after about 30 seconds for 5 seconds again and then again. After a few seconds the blower runs again – and does not stop! The phenomenon also occurs when I lock the car with the remote control -> then should actually all “comfort consumers” be turned off… Now the box is standing there and the blower is running and I don’t know if I am he at 5:00 p.m…. Does anyone know advice? Plug off the battery would be my only idea to pull fuse for blower would be better -> but where is this? Thank you for your quick input and greeting Schutzschi

Good morning, please don’t kill me if this topic already exists but since yesterday my search doesn’t make sense and I can’t find an answer to my question. And that is, I drive a Phaeton Built 04, 3.2 V6 and have a telephone preparation with a connection in the center console. Everything is good, phone is in it and SIM card I used yesterday as well. Does everything work Prima, super Net(D2), aaaaaaaaber, it is not possible except to keep the listener in the ear to phone n? I mean, if someone calls me then the phone rings out of the speakers and I can go over the steering wheel, where is the point when I can go over the steering wheel, numbers can call but then the phone has to hold to the ear?????????? So to my question, is it not a hands-free device? Isn’t there the possibility without the phone to call so that everything runs over the boxes or am I just too stupid, because it irritates me that I over the m can choose the steering wheel, can go to it and can also hang it up but then it comes directly from the receiver?
