Good morning, I recently acquired a 2003′ Phaeton V8. The predecessor apparently had replaced the front upper crossbars of both axles recently. As nothing guessing lay were carried out on both sides. In my possession then I noticed that I have an uneven tire wear at the front… Long talk short sense I began to make the troubleshooting. The installed left upper crossbars proved to be on the lifting platform / wheel plate on wear high 10…. Play without end and thus a free done work by my predecessor ?? So the left axle has to be renewed at all no question. Now to my main question…. On the right axle you can see with the bare eye that the rim is totally inwardly standing… Of course it has a certain geometry, but if I compared the tire distance to the axle of both axles, then the right distance is remarkably smaller than the left axle. After long researched I have come across a hint and would like to ask you now whether this can be the case with my vehicle or whether the axle height has really been fixed to the wheel?

Hello, I’m looking for a mobile phone for the GP3 that rSAP is capable of. Now I have found the compatibility list for the GP3 at VW [1] and I’d like to pick out a few Nokia models. The cheapest seems to be the E75 and 6600 slider. In the VW list there is no problem with these models. I would like to spend around 50 eur, max 100, for it. What are your experiences? The requirements: – there must be a BURY System9 holder – UMTS – simple contact sync with Outlook or Google (best myPhoneExplorer) Manufacturer otherwise I don’t care.

Good evening to you! Ask the experts and experts among you: How durable do you value the W12 in the 420 hp version from the GP0? How many kilometers can this unit create? How long does the transmission go with it? Are driving performances beyond 500,000 km realistic? I ask the question, since I am currently considering buying such a car after I have ruled out the V10 as an alternative because of the diesel problem with regard to environmental zones… Thank you and many greetings!

What kind of charger for Phaeton -also for diagnosis and possibly coding- (possibly Ctek 25) Hello, I have been following this forum since the purchase of my Phaeton in 2010. I have already been able to find out a few things and would like to thank you for the many expert contributions at this point. Now I am for the first time in the situation that the search function alone does not really bring me further. Therefore my detailed questions about the charger and Phaeton: 1. Is the Ctek MXS 25 (25A charging current, supply, …) suitable for the Phaeton 3.0 Diesel, Bj. 2005 with two battery operation and electric luggage compartment cover / recommendable? I would like to do the following work: A regular reloading of the comfort battery -da I am currently primarily driving short plug- B power supply during diagnosis and if necessary future coding by means of VCDS 2. Where to connect during the diagnosis? Starter battery still right or comfort battery left? 3. Which charger program during the diagnosis? A “normal” charging B supply – power supply, as for battery change 4. How to connect to Minuspol?

Hello like-minded people. In July, after some searching, I enjoyed a specimen which was already extremely close to my requirements. It is a GP3 with approx. 126’km. I also like to drive the car very much. Wouldn’t like to get out of the car at all. But well… there’s also a life outside of these rolling juices. Is really a class car that doesn’t fit into the VW Group at all. Unfortunately, now noises are coming up that make me nervous at every start. It sounds like a whining/singinging in idle run. At higher speed it gets less. At higher temperature, too. Well, my question….if it’s the pulley rollers – how long do they last? Do you hear a water pump damage before and how does it sound? Oh yes….the dealer had had the tooth belt changed before delivery. Is now no 3000km ago. Then I’m still interested in the running behavior of the V8. I usually know a very quiet run. With my speed fluctuations of about 30 to 40 rpm, which I can feel in the interior. In case of error, however, there is no problem memory?

Hello Phaetonists, in the 60 tsd. inspection nobody could help. For about two months at 1100-1400 U a loud resonance noise, even minimal vibration on the body, is noticeable. From 1500 U, think then the turbo uses, it is less noticeable, or is perhaps also overlaid. When driving in towns/city after starting at traffic lights, it is particularly annoying. In the fault memory nothing is stored, probably primarily mechanical nature. Can it come with air mass controller or defect from the turbo? The engine bearings which are hard placed, via underpressure control it is apparently not according to the workshop. Now enough, who of you has met similar synthesizers or has a guess which makes sense to check. Greeting, Eridanus

Hi friends, last Thursday I noticed for the first time a grinding Gräusch shortly before I stopped my black Eminence after a 20 km long drive. The next morning everything seemed to be ok again but when the engine got warm it was to be heard again. I drove back every day 21 km to work and in the evening the same distance again. When I arrived at work on Friday, I looked under the hood but there was nothing unusual to see. In the stand gas these grinding Gräusch were little to hear but when giving gas they became extremely loudly audible. At home I did not come back, because after the walk then apparently jumped out, the display appeared as if the selector lever was put on P. I could only roll out and no longer drive. The grinding noise, which was also heard in the stand at lever position P or N is now gone. I type on the converter. In June last year the converter, the gearbox, the transmission, the tribe electronics and a new gear oil cooler was installed. Power loss was not noticed before the total failure. Did anyone have idea?

Hello Phaeton municipality, are here USER who are familiar with the VAG-Com in my vicinity? (73…) Esslingen stuttgart) I would like to unlock autolock and lower the thick ca 30mm… would be happy… Greetings SLY

Moin Moin, ask you a short question. How does the map update work for the GP0? I have a 07 or 06 Naviversion as a CD in the Navicomputer. If I now have a new Navi-CD like Navteq VDO Dayton for BMW, Opel etc pp from 2012 or 2013, I also have to actuate the Firemware of the “you call it ZAB”? I know it from the RNS 510 that a Fireware Update was needed, how is it with the Phaeton GP0?

For example, the VW dealer doesn’t get it well and he has to disassemble the seats in order to make a precise diagnosis, which would involve a lot of costs. Now I would like to buy 2 control units and then “hope” that it works again. In the following time the data from the VW dealer for the control units:Control unit driving seat 3D0 959 760 CA Z0M , driver seat 3D0 959 759 CA Z0F On the internet I find these only exactly the opposite, so passenger seat with ending 59 and driver seat with ending 60. I have already written a mail to VW if they have possibly lost themselves in your mail. Sometimes wait. But now I find the part number: 3D0959760B & 3D095959B on the Internet the whole of the number on the left can I also build it up? My control units may have the lettering CA and the parts are rare and also more expensive, which with the lettering B are more often present and cheaper. I guess that’s what I can only help me to build the right?
