Category: VW Phaeton Forum

I use the phase of the Outings (Lexus, Jaguar etc.) to join me: Actually I wanted to buy a Phaeton again, but my desired model was “snapped away” at short notice. After that I made a spontankauf and landed at Audi – so that at least my 6.0 W12 still remains valid. My first experiences: – Processing and comfort of the Phaeton are unmatched – With electronics and driving dynamics the A8 is clearly superior Otherwise the two don’t give much. It’s simple – although from the same group and both in the luxury class – fundamentally different vehicles. Thanks to company Phaetons at my employer I will stay at the ball and at the hopefully following meetings continue to drive Phaeton… Dear Greetings, Grigri

Hello guys, I’m not a Phaeton driver yet, but I might like to become one. For tomorrow, I have a test drive, and then there’s a decision. As part of the 1% campaign, I looked up a W12, year 12/2007, 13500KM at the price of 56K€. We don’t need to talk about the cost of leasing, there’s really nothing cheaper. What would I be interested in would be statements about the remaining costs. What about service costs (inspection)? Can someone tell me what such a service costs for the 12-ender about? How often does he have to go to customer service? How is the consumption in practice? I calculate this on average with approx. 16 – 18 L. Is this realistic? How is it specifically put in the 12er for reliability? Tomorrow, unfortunately, I can only drive the 3L TDI. Is the ride comfort transferable to the W12?

Hello guys (or should one or the other girl have got lost here? 😉 Where do you assure your Phaeton? VAG wants VK with 300€ SB and a Sf of 20 (30%!) smooth 130€ per month! Tariff calculators on the web completely fail their service with vehicle values over 75,000€. Also a new experience. has the friendly to mention at the Phaeton sale somehow. Are all afraid of an expensive casco damage. So, there are tips on insurance with a good price-performance ratio?

Good morning, I will decide this week whether I will enter the club of the ” Dicken “. With me around the corner there is a very nice with a great m.e. equipment. In conversation the nice car salesman told me that the price is fixed and the dealer only acts as an intermediary. The vehicle, V6 3.0 TDI is from 02/2008, 13.500 Km price :56.400,- gross. At the price something has to go, or ? The car is in a good condition, only the rim front left has a small Macke and the DVD system indicated in the advertisement and by the seller in the fond then there is not. Do I also get 12 months of custody from the dealer ? A used car guarantee must be concluded with ( says the nice seller ). Freue me on the answers and the experiences. Many greetings and thanks, Roberto

I think about installing a 3G WLAN router. I can then: – Internet, mail, chat, YouTube, access to the house autimation, pool metering system etc. in the car (Netbook, iPhone, PSP etc. via WLAN) – Communication via WLAN e.g. to a colleague who drives afterwards. – Access to the vehicle from the computer at home (if it is in the garage) e.g. music movies etc. on a popcorn hour (installed in the vehicle) update e.g. pushers put live into the network … e.g. Wems fun: webcam in the car (also via DynDNS from the Internet possible (if the vehicle is standing) e.g. remote access to Netbook connected with diagnostic software on the Phaeton (for technical freaks) – in the car access to music and movies on the Popcorn Hour (eg. PSP via WLAN) – theft assurance is clearly reduced. As long as they can’t be noticed you can access the vehicle via webcam ev. built-in GPS (until remote control can’t all be possible because the antenna doesn’t have a bit of radiation.

I wish all VW drivers and us Phaetonauten in particular, a Merry Christmas! All the time good ride and may the wolf never leave you. Besides, I would like to thank my parents at this point for this extra pre-Christmas joy! (Thank you, unknown way, also to the car dealership Piltz in Vienna for the bullets that are so not available in the trade).

Hello Together, I just put the new Dension Apapter “Gateway Lite” into operation in the GP0. Works great. Compared to the Gateway 100 and 300 adapters, it does not show any titles (ID tags) in plain text, however, the display would not be displayed on the multimedia screen (ZAB) of the Phaeton anyway. The Gateway Lite still offers a USB socket, by means of enclosed SD adapters it can then also play the SD cards. I will probably still noise the IPOD Cradle against the nomal cable, would not want to drill my Phaeton yet. Here the link to the shop:Link to the product Thanks to Momo7 for the suggestions (IPOD in 5 minutes).

Hello together, with my 3.0 TDI Bj 12/2004 I have for a few days the admitted subjective impression that my consumption especially when speeding up and starting up in the “online display” in astronomical heights fast. I am not currently traveling on long distances but nevertheless it seems kind of strange to me. For my feeling I drive no different than in the past, so no excessive acceleration or something like that and in the trunk I have not invited anything heavy and forgotten, sorry little joke on the edge Does ever know the problem or even a possible cause or do I just pretend to?? the search function I have already used but found nothing suitable. wish all-time nitter-free ride TOM

Hello, I had an oil change before about 700 km. Yesterday after about 25 km of road I turned off my P. to make a short toilet break. ALs I came back and started, suddenly the engine control light went on – with the message: Error exhaust gas – workshop! Some restarts could not delete the error – therefore I think it is rather less an “electronic spinning”. What I still noticed is that I have brownish mud on the oil cover – although I left an oil change before about 700 km. In the previous 35,000 km I NIE, not once brownish mud on the oil cover. (btw. during the inspection 1L cooling water was refilled – until now it is still on MAX, no oil entry or similar. Therefore I think that the ZKD is in order, only right after the car just comes out of the inspection.) 1. What could be the error message? Particle filter, AG, differential pressure sensor etc.?

Hello community! In the next few weeks it’s time: I get the successor for my GP 1. A GP3 will become. Now my question about the heater or the heater: This heater is installed with every Phaeton. With my new vehicle the heater is also listed in the equipment list. But now I have the “new” Navi.-System RNS 810. Is it also possible to unlock and operate it? The coding should be the same, but I also have the screen user interface in the new Navi as well as in the GP0 / GP1 ?! I have looked for an answer in the many posts, as well as several times this question in the relevant thread, but unfortunately found nothing / received no answer… Of course I hope that with this xth contribution I will not fall to anyone and wish a pleasant evening!
