I tried the jack mode on my car today. When switching on, after approx. 4sec the error message level control will come to the workshop. It also comes only when activating the mode. If someone has any idea what this has to mean or is this just a warning message as information that the mode is turned on. Greetings Jörg

Hello dear Phaeton community, first of all I would like to wish you a happy new year! For a long time now I have been reading with me in this forum. I also want to lease a Phaeton for some time. However, not to simply put it back after 2 or 3 years, but to buy it after the lease end. In my opinion this vehicle is a masterpiece of VW. Since I am absolutely car affine, I would like to be well prepared for this topic and hope you can help me with your great experience here. What would you recommend to me at the moment? Diesel? Gasoline? Which dealer is trustful here? I have read that all Phaeton go back to the glass manufactory before delivery? Is that true and if so, what is done there? I don’t care about the monthly rate. I want to buy a vehicle that includes everything that makes him age with me in 2/3 years. I also have in mind that when buying after Leasende VW a certain part of the VK price and you can buy the car price at a special price?

Dear Phaetonauten, it says in the boardbook that you should not let the power steering be fully beaten for more than 15 seconds.

Due to the serious accident on the A31 all experts come to the discussion now again. In addition to the usual whimper over a general speed limit came today the top statement of an ADAC employee. One should save oneself immediately via the guardrail. How do you do this, please, if these new – cheap – dangerous concrete guardrails are installed? There you have no chance to get up. peso

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
