In my previous year’s review of my dream ship, which is now 6 years old, my mechanic had announced the necessary exchange of the bearings of the front crossbars. Had the opportunity to take a look at it for a short time today and I could not see anything from porous. Also no noises from the wheel suspension or suspension. Is this a typical weak point which is repaired during this running time of VW in general? I would therefore like to ask the question in the round, what happened to you over the years with typical repairs at the regular services or also otherwise.

This morning a nice Paheton was standing next to me in the traffic jam. He had the tyred dimension 275 / 40 R19 on the back. On – so they looked according to the wheel hub at least – original VW rims. Does someone have pics of such a Dimenson or does someone drive such tires on the Phaeton?

Hello, I’m new here on MT as well as in the Phaeton Forum. I’ve collected a small Phaeton collection here in California over the last 8 years and currently have 4 Phaetons and a part donor in the household. Although I’m very active on the VWVortex.com Phaeton Forum, but the number of American Phaeton drivers goes back quickly, i.e. I have to look for problem solutions in the country of birth of the Phaeton 🙂 My current problem is the folding function of the right exterior mirror. The actuator runs, but the mirror housing hardly moves and makes funny noises, sounds like a problem with the gears. I have a working unit of my part spener, but this has a few small rust bubbles while the broken unit is paint technically perfect. So I’d rather repair the part than replace it. I’ve already disassembled the unit up to the bracket, but as it looks like, the actuator and the gears are not accessible. A large shell with a strong spring keeps the two half, but I couldn’t find it possible to separate the half without having done it.

Hello! I once wanted to tell you about a man who knows Phaeton inside and out. Who discovers every mistake with his Phaeton test station. There is a member in a social media portal, which claims to have built the box. To decorate himself with foreign feathers. Although it was dear Günther. I would like to visit this “Phaeton God”. It was worth it! Here is a small excerpt from the entire Phaeton workshop. Every corner of his hobby room is full of sharing with Phaeton. Unfortunately, no videos are possible to set.

Good morning dear community, was unfortunately unsuccessful in the search for forums, therefore now here this question. I am still without Phaeton, but in the near future would like to buy one of these wonderful cars! 🙂 At mobile and Co. you will find again and again some beautiful cars at Giannattasio automobiles from the Frankfurt area. The vehicles are offered mostly with VW guarantee. Does anyone have experience with this dealer? Does he work together with a VW car dealership, such as AB in Ettlingen? Would be very grateful for notes greeting from the deepest west of the Republic of Pharmy

Moin moin After having had the car for a few months now I would have a few questions which I could not find out correctly in the manual. It is the model year 11/2011. Maybe you can help me: – When getting out I always have to press the handle 2x so that the door opens because it is locked. This is certainly a setting so that, e.g. at a traffic light, no one can open the door from outside. Where can I change it? – My rear-view mirrors are set to fade off by default i.e. they become green in the dark. Under the inside mirror there is a button with which you activate the function or disable it. By default, it is always activated. Can I deactivate it somehow by default? – By default, my chassis is also at the second lowest level of comfort. I would like to have set it as a standard sport. Is this possible? – Is there also a full overview of all language commands for the language input?

Hello Phaeton Forum, I picked up my new Phaeton today! My name is Oliver, I am 41 and have been living in Switzerland for 7 years. To the vehicle : Ezl. 10.09, 3.0 TDI, with my desired equipment. Now the hard drive does not work! I can’t save any music from the CD on it. How does it work with VW? At my BMW I was asked directly if I want to save the CD to hard drive? -In addition, the Navi does not play DVD’s! Can this be at the old software level? -Third, I can’t pair my phone, Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, can this be solved by a software update? -And finally, the Navisoftware is V5, can I update it directly to the latest V13? Merci much times, and hopefully a long time here in the forum! Greeting Oliver P.S. Next pictures after the first laundry

Hello nice day you all together my father bought almost 2 years ago a Phaeton v10 with just under 180tkm never had problems with or otherwise what now at 348000 km turbocharger damage (were still the first turbos) 2 overhauled turbos bought while doing small things like exhaust-curved wheel bearing fuel pump xenon etc. everything changed 2 days ago the car has been picked up so far everything top like a new car pulls much better than before and speaks much better on the gas in the last 2 days 1800 km drive earlier I wanted to buy something and notice when speeding up that he suddenly has no turbo pressure anymore (when he had the turbocharger damage I drove still almost 500 km so and know the feeling as it is without turbos) car off and made again well hardly any more gas again than if he would go in emergency run? I just registered today but have been following the forum a little longer and have read a lot because I found cars very interesting but have found the new ones so far?

Hello forum well one less is not right, the Phaeton changes its owner. I was the captain of a very nice 3.0 TDI (EZ 01/2011) in the period from 01.06.2015 to 15.08.2017. Also I was and still am enthusiastic about the Phaeton (comfort, suspension, understatement, ….) but also with me starts the electrification in the near future. For this reason now a Phaeton drives more in and around Saarbrücken. Conclusion after 2 years Phaeton: Criticism: rust on the door top edges at a Fzg. Age of only 4 years (was improved when buying from the dealer) bad luck: Re. and Li. Rear lights (which in the trunk flap) went broken short behind each other and the original spare parts are extremely expensive (where you could only exchange a lamp earlier) I wish you all much joy with your Phaeton and that there will soon be a big meeting again. Good ride akikomiii

Hey guys, supposedly, the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge supports the RSAP protocol to pair to the hands-free device. Does any of you have the S6 edge in use and can confirm that it works easily on the ZAB of the GP0 via RSAP?
