Today I took my car out of the workshop, a familiar VW specialist. The front brakes and discs were replaced. I noticed at the first meters that brake pedal could be kicked very far and was very soft. I came up to the bottom sheet. So a few more tests were made. From about 30 km/h I can brake so strongly that the ABS jumps in. Then again to the workshop and the whole demonstration. Answer of the master: They still slow down and then also the pedal path gets shorter. Air can not be in the system, then it would not brake at all. So back home, after about 25 KM downtown. On the highway then stood the sweat beads on my forehead. At 160 Km/h jmd pulls over from the right lane. So I on the brake. And there is also not only a delay in the approach as I knew it. I was only a few meters away from a driving accident. I now drove about 120 KM and still have a soft pedal. Well, my questions can’t take you long as it takes time to have a tire?

I can’t confirm the majority of positive contributions here. Almost unbelievable what my Phaeton is doing so. It’s a 4.2 liter. It’s fully equipped, the new price moved around CHF 196’000.–. He has now nearly 100,000 km and I have to find out that the promised quality, the VW promised … “the best car in the world …” almost borders on improbability. So: all belt holders have fallen apart long ago. 2 out of four cup holders can no longer be fixed with the pressed position. the window at the back right can no longer be lowered. the dvd system for CHF 12,000.– does not work anymore. the lock button in the trunk has fallen apart. the fan engine for the air conditioning had to be replaced. the display for navigation, audio, etc. suddenly disappears, at some point it wakes up again to life. the drive unit rumbles like an old range rover. the cable harness in the trunk has fallen apart. the fan engine for the air conditioning had to be replaced. the display for navigation, audio, etc. at some point it suddenly, the car suddenly comes back to life again. I don’t have to find something else.

Today I had the opportunity to go with a business friend in his S class (S 500) Punkomüchte. The car is about 7 months old, and has almost 30,000 KM on the tacho. Anyway, it almost “cut me off” as it is in the S class “stinkt”. There are effusions present, the torment every nose…. Otherwise I can only say, the ride feeling and especially the space offered is absolute top! If one considers that the S class is also no bigger than a Phaeton, one asks oneself where this great space feeling comes from. The seat is perfect. If I make the seat completely back, I can not get to the pedals with my 192 cm body length. For me as a seat giant the place is even with a raised seat and with SD to the top gigantic. Schade VW with the Phaeton can not keep there. My business friend wanted to drive once W12. So we made a small round around “Dorf”. After a KhaM he meant “be softly” and “That’s got away from the good stuff.”

In the Touareg Facelift the 3.0 TDI with EU6 emission standard and 262 hp is now available. Is this engine possible this year from KW45 also in Phaeton? With a revised automatic transmission you should then come to a standard consumption of 7 to 7.5 l/100 km. Might not mean so much effort for VW but an effective improvement. @Volkswagen: Please implement! The Phaeton has earned it!!

Hello people, today I have a question to the “many phone operators”. I have about 700 business contacts in my iPhone. In my Phaeton Bj 2011 at the Premium an old rSAP capable Nokia mobile phone. But slowly the eternal entering of the phone numbers by hand on the RNA 810 goes against the line and I do not get shown who calls me. Which rSAP capable Händy that can be wonderfully synchronized with Outloop would you recommend me? Best regards, Ralph

Hello to everyone, I know it always bugs you to see this topic again and again but I would like to get a second opinion. So I looked at this P. today and tried it out: Phaeton So the car is 2nd hand, was probably already done among other things gearbox replaced, compressor replaced, 1st shocker in front replaced. Unfortunately everything without proof since it allegedly ran all over an additional warranty and this also paid the things. Check booklet has only 2 entries and that in 120tkm!? Gear changed everything well and nice but when driving was a slight jerking during the gear change to feel, according to the current holder this is only when the car is cold. TÜV today is new with the lack of rubber on front axle porös and oil in the engine compartment, on the engine cover under the car it was slightly oily. For this the big inspection in November is due. From inside and outside the car is well maintained, always only hand wash. The seller was also just washing the car when I came and when it was ready, the headlights from Berlin said something about it was worth.

Hello together am new here and need your advice: I bought a V10 with 72 000km/jg 2004 about 6 months ago and was very satisfied at the beginning. But after three months ( 8000km, half davo highway) started: – both turbos have said goodbye (were both replaced on warranty) – vibrations at the front left about from 80km/h upwards is getting worse and worse than 140 are not conceivable when braking even the brake pedal vibrates massively, it beats right. Had it four weeks in the garage conclusion: – Turbos until now i.o – vibrations still available – when I wanted to turn on the ventilation on the highway last week, it has fogged me the whole car inside at 120km/h and saw nothing anymore, funny this week did not happen any more, for that the discs are smashed after having turned it off, and two/three hours later I get back in the car I don’t see through here anymore, has someone already made such experiences? Would it be over a few useful tips really happy greetings

Hello dear forum members. I am looking for brake discs for the front and rear axle for my Phaeton V10, model year 2005. There are probably some online providers that offer brake discs for the V10, but my problem is that the PR numbers that my friend gave me, which do not match in the online shops: The PR numbers for my V10 that I got according to chassis: brake disc front: 1LC original part no.: 3D0 615 301 N brake disc rear: 1KY original part no.: 4E0 615 601 L Now my questions: Can I, for example, use these front brake discs without any problems for my V10? Or does that not mean at all?http://www.lott.de/product_info.php/products_id/23642/ktnr/17001 The measurements do not differ too much (365 mm in diameter instead of 360 mm) The PR number is halt 1ZL instead of 1LC can’t be used for me?

OT, but such a thing of! I am away, at least 40 days and repent for all my sins in this forum. Who it pleases, please very much. Who regrets it, thank you. The number of open-minded Fakers as well as those so far convinced by Phaeton, but nevertheless emigrating, has apparently become greater than those of the still Phaeton enthusiasts. Too bad for this magnificent automobile, shame for my fourth favorite hobby. LG Udo

Hello together! After some time again a few infos about my thickness and a question about a problem that I could not find here so yet! First the Vita (3,0TDI, EZ01-07): Current Km-Stand: 128,000, so so far 98,000km without major defects or escapades of the electronics. At 112.000km the pressure difference sensor of the DPF has been changed, because of error message, ~350Euro. Some small paint repairs due to bubble formation at the driver’s door. The unspeakable bars of the door undersides at all 4 doors changed due to delay (~200Euro). The Michelin tires described in my last contributions(255/40-19, PS2) have run about 30,000km and show still 4.5mm. I am satisfied. Now to the question: My Phaeton loses for some time in small amounts of cooling water. When slow driving not at all, when speedy driving, I did not hear any emulsion in the oil circuit, therefore no penetration of water in Selbigen. Now to the question: My Phaeton loses for some time in small amounts of cooling water water. I did not return bin. In case I did not have to hear of pressure bin.
