Hello. Who of you can help me. I drive Phaeton V8 and had it converted to gas. I had problems before, however, in the mentioned speed range of 1500-1800 revolutions the vehicle and that in every gear, with a sensible driving mode and not under load. What can this be? According to VW you have carried out compression measurements and the 2nd and 3 cylinder have a pressure of 10 bar and the rest has a pressure of 12-13 bar. If the problem is here or comes from the transmission. The microphones have already been tapped and noises have been detected in the transmission, however, according to VW this transmits from the engine to the transmission. I hope there are some specialists here who can help me with my problem. I have to be satisfied with it all the time. MfG Marc

Good morning, when I had moved my morning sport to our Diva this morning due to the bad weather, I drove with constant 70 to 80 km/h through the beautiful area around Volkach an der Mainschleife. I could hardly trust my eyes when my BC then indicated a range of 920 km. So the Phaeton can also be different, I thought it was nothing with the morning sport, but for that I had a great start in the day, which is characterized by vineyards and how often by my Phaeton! In this sense I wish you all a great day Tobias

Dear community, I’m new here, I’m very happy that there are such a large number of Phaeton friends here. I’m going to grow a Phaeton in the next 2 months. For me, the 1% leasing is very attractive, especially since it is fully deductible for me as an entrepreneur. I love a 3.0 diesel from the year of construction 2012. There are really many offers to be found at the dealers. May I just ask what you have to pay attention to here? Thank you very much to the community and hopefully I’ll soon be part of your club… Cateno

Hello everyone, I have been reading with you in this forum for a long time now and I have to say that for the very first time – hat off!! Competent people, reasonable handling tone, meaningful answers to questions, help if needed. That’s how it should be, but not always. I know this from other forums also differently. So, now to my problem, I’m looking for “my” Phaeton. At Mobile, hm – a lot of garbage. My demands, must be GP0, not more than 9000,- cost, should have the 3.2 l machine, best converted to LPG. Summer/winter bikes should be there. AHK is important to me, sliding roof as well. What can I expect, is this realistic? Who can help or wants to sell themselves. Thanks for your opinion.

I would like to learn something about the motivation of my car dealership (with which I am very satisfied). The question is: what does my car dealership deserve most? Repairs and inspections occur on all three models with normal course to the same extent. With my current vehicle I am extremely free and with all the discussions I am not quite so sure on what I enter with a new vehicle. At present I prefer economic criteria for my decision. Who can give more detailed information? Hasel

Dear car friends, I bought a VW Phaeton first registration in May 2008. Under SPECIAL EQUIPMENT / ACCEPTION, the daily driving light was listed, not an LED daytime driving light. Now I was informed that my vehicle should not have any daytime driving light at all. For the discussion with the seller I urgently need information like in the VW sales documents the daily driving light was described under SPECIAL EQUIPMENT / ACCEPTION and what extra charge was calculated for it. The dealer allegedly no longer has these documents available. As a description I received first of all: until the model year 2008 there was a daily driving light circuit for the Phaeton. This is encoded once in the control unit. Thus the front and rear lighting is activated when the ignition is switched on. The switch off can only be done by switching off the ignition. The light sensor is deactivated thereby. When I asked for the activation of the day driving light circuit described above, it turned out that even this limited functionality was not given. Who can provide me this information for the description of the 2007/Regardless price and your support for the 2007/Regardless price:

Our phaetia is not so bad at all against the competitors… 🙂 Link:http://auto.t-online.de/…/index

Hello dear Phaeton community, we were looking for an Alfa Romeo with various defects on the lookout for a classic saloon. Large, comfortable, safe and of high quality. I-Drive or MMI we did not want, rather a classic cockpit with real wood and lots of leather! It became a 3.0 TDI Phaeton in dark blue with extended wooden package and wooden steering wheel. The car also fits my wife (1.56 meters, size 34/XS) and that is unfortunately not a matter of course. All-wheel, automatic, a proper weight and a great workmanship really convey a very safe and comfortable driving feeling. One gets relaxed to the destination and does not have to race constantly… the car decelerates, it is very relaxed and pleasant. Actually we have only 2 criticism points: 1. In the passat we find (subjectively) the operation of the Tempomat ergonomic. 2. That navigation could be a little more modern/faster. Otherwise a really great car and clearly better than our passat. With the materials the Phaeton is worth at least 2-3 classes better!
