2 weeks ago I bought a GP3 EZ 2011 with approx. 150k running performance. During the Dekra test it was found that the front tyres outside, and rear tyres inside were one-sided. The examiner said that the wheel bearings and upper lateral handlebars were in order. At the dealer I then had new winter tyres put on it before decrease. According to dealers they were also swollen. However, a passenger could find that about 80-100km of the car a bit z Is it possible to use an axle measurement? Or do you have any suggestions? Incidentally, the cover at the front of the ventilation nozzle probably clamps and does not open reliably. The dealer said that you only have to change 3 pieces from the “switch motor (attached)”. Does anyone know the problem? Thank you very much! Harry

So, yesterday my car was picked up from the retrofitter. Everything perfect. It is used a VIALLE LPI7, liquid no-injection with 2 ECUs and wheel dump tank. I already had a car equipped 5 years ago with a VIALLE LPI7, which runs smoothly and without any problems. The V8 runs now cheaper than a diesel. More pictures follow.

Hello Phaeton friends, Is there really no Phaeton screwdrivers in the southwest of Berlin that would have deserved the inclusion in the positive list? I intend to lease a thick one in autumn and have no desire to cucumber for workshop visits through the whole city to Weissensee (Möbus) or Tegel (Stamann). Is depending on the time of day and traffic about an hour’s drive for me. Is there any experience with VW workshops in the southwest of Berlin, because of me also in the southern suburbs of Ber lin? Who can report positive or negative? Best regards Alani

Hello, I wonder if it is possible to export music files that are stored on the hard drive again, e.g. via the SD card. I found nothing in the user manual. Greetings Mathias

Dear Phaetonauten From one day to the other, the seating positions (longitudinal adjustment) of all three positions in my 18-way driver’s seat changed. I opened the driver’s door via Keyless, whereby I (as usual because I had previously driven) fixed no change in the seating position. Since my wife provided herself as a chauffeur, I called her sitting position via the corresponding memory button. I was surprised that the seat went very far forward. ng I got with my wife’s comment after boarding: I’m not that small again! Pressing the memory button again didn’t work, so she drove back the seat “manual-electrically”. I wanted to drive the Phaeton into the garage at home. My wife gets out, I call my seat position via the memory button, seat drives back, I get in – and also feel trapped! Long speech short sense: The length adjustment is in all three storage places The other parameters (seat height, backrest, headrest, straps, steering wheel, mirror) have not been changed. After the correct position has been stored again, it seems to work again. Nevertheless, the question: Who has experienced something similar and can tell me what it is about? Thank you very much and Gruss CH_V8

So if I didn’t already have a great V8, I would really get in my way with such an attractive *W12 offer*. Even plus gas conversion the price is fantastic, if you are on real big ships, is’ clear ! www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=vlgt3mys3c3d That’s not “normal”……this price at so little km

Good evening dear Phaeton drivers, after a long time looking for a successor for my A8 and several test drives with 7 A8 etc. corresponds to the Phaeton as I had “feared” at my ideal. After a test drive with a V8 there are still a few questions that would like to ask you. 1. I like the 4.2 engine in the A8 4e very well even though I have reached for the 3.7 at my 4d and it also However, I have to say he is too “nervous” to me in the Phaeton or too sporty designed long speech short meaning how is the actual consumption difference between V8 and W12(420Ps)? 2. Would the car like to buy from VW what are the used car guarantees of those or can one have the factory warranty extended with one as example 2003er what can you advise me? If yes, how long can one extend the factory warranty? Hope for an early answer Greeting TahoeFan.

So first of all Christmas greetings to the entire forum and wish you all a nice party and relaxing and happy holidays!!!!!!! Since you can wish for something at Christmas time, I thought we started a WISH THREAD at VW. What would you wish for VW for the coming year ??? Can everything be what you consider important, however, should also be feasible somewhere from VW, i.e. what improvements/desirations can you call? Maybe WOB read here also with what P HAETON customers would be important……and please do not wish like: Nen fully equipped PHAETON W12/V10 long version INDIVIDUAL with everything for lukewarm….with which I can quite understand such desires ALSO LOS! TRUT YOU AND WISH YOU WHAT VIALS FILLS YES THE ONE OR OTHER WISH OR HIS HAPPYLY

So here’s the thing: -I press the remote control of the StH. Nix from the outside, about 2m and more away. Car is closed, engine off -I press the remote control at a distance of 5cm to the side window and in the tacho the nice StHssymbol appears, but does not hear engines or ventilation work? Maybe only Taub. -I now run in the car, engine, the symbol can only be removed with the help of the remote control but not with the Navi Monitor. Whether the heating was running… no e Hint. -Now try to activate the StH via Navi Monitor (with running engine…is that at all?) , nothing happens, even nothing, zero, as if the button had been dead (but it’s nocturnal). -Now, sitting in the car, with the motor switched off and without ignition, try to activate the StH via Navi Monitor. Rest heat flashes briefly, StH wants to do nichts. OK, then I press on residual heat and it finally does something. Can also be snapped out again via Navi Monitor. r still not tested. So, I’m doing something wrong now, should I try the timer or run straight to the friendly and heat up a replacement Phaeton again? Or is it with the heater somehow different than I imagine. Since I heard that there are differences whether diesel or petrol I say I have a fine V8. (jo, very fine the V8) Thank you

Meal, yesterday I had the pleasure of carrying out the thick one in the lush snowstorm for the first time. Wanted to give you my insights – chassis: mad. The ICE of the road can’t be pushed off the tracks even in snow! – Start/stop: dito. Man, man, man, what’s going on today… – ADR: Catastrophe! Snow from the front, “sensor dirty”, no ADR. Even worse: garkein Tempomat anymore. Saubled! Why doesn’t this thing just keep a steady speed? And good, if the sensor is tight???? Do you have to do AAAAAALLES yourself???? – Rain sensor: beautiful sh… What does this thing do? Conclusion: of snow rain and spraying often completely overwhelmed, better one wipes manually. – Windscreen wiper: rarely so squealed. Despite new rubbers massive squeaking and changing noises. Fortunately, the DSP system can also LAUT! – climate: all windows completely fogged. AC stood on “Automatic”, econ of course out, autom. Umluft an. Interior (Teppiche, Yes The unattainable windshield was permanently sealed. The only solution: manually turn on the circulating air so that the climate compressor starts. What is THAT??? – Parking sensors: Snow and ice have simulated a driving accident at every traffic light – why can’t you make the damn parking aid quieter???? Well, the conclusion is that the driving experience in Phaeton is inconceivable in snow gstöber. The ICE of the road also in snow mud and sour weather. If you could still turn off the above things, I would probably never leave my house again without my “little black” greetings Matthias
