Category: VW Phaeton Forum

Hello together, I hope you don’t resent my double posting, just I’m looking for a comparison between the two cars above, and so I ask in both sub forums. As the title can already be guessed, my question revolves around the differences as well as advantages/disadvantages between Audi A8 4.2 TDI and a Phaeton V10 TDI. Both models are currently under discussion for me, both as an annual car or similar, mileage max. 30,000km. what A has you should also get in B. What interests me is the durability of both models, where there are weak points, which I should not leave out of my sight with a used one, and what might result in pros or cons for one of the two? When searching in the forums I found satisfied users for both models, so at the moment I can only fix the difference to one factor, and that is the EK. The Phaeton already exists with my introduction for around 45,000€, while the A8 moves more in the range +70,000€ with similar equipment. Are these differences purely image bound, or are there really hard facts in the technology or the susceptibility, which speak for it? I am happy about all tips and hints! Greetings, mars inhabitants

Hello, here: Traffic Simulator there is a Traffic Simulator. But this thing needs Java. On the website you can simulate different traffic situations and observe how traffic jams arise. My results: Speed limits do not help against traffic jams. Good against traffic jams are powerful motors. The main cause of traffic jams are travel delays if there was a stagnation somewhere. This is proven: Our thick ships are good for traffic. Oh yes: The biggest ones By the way, there are overtaking trucks and approaching trucks. Followed by small cars with weak engines. Followed by ruthless drivers. Greetings

Since the control lights for the brake linings lit up for my vehicle, I have for the first time become aware of the braking system. Interested as I am, I try to find out what kind of brake linings is installed. There seem to be two different systems for which different linings are required accordingly. In my (V6 177kw front drive) is allegedly a “Lukas” system installed where on each side of the front axle 4 individual coverings are needed . If someone has any information (part number) about this. With the VW dealer a wrong article has appeared based on the key number of my car, in which on each side only 2 larger coverings are installed. Since on the packaging Phaeton and Audi A8 were indicated, it would be interesting to know whether in the vehicles identical systems work or how the brakes of the different engine variants differ. sunny greetings tigger

When I just saw this, I was a little scared…http://www.worldcarfans.com/…/spy-photos-vw-phaeton-facelift …where does this link to the current design (?!), because of “Chrom-Schnauze” and so ???? So sultry-lippery overhanging radiator grills are known from the 80s (at Audi etc.), or ?!

Hello Phaetonists! Now it’s finally time! After I have been trying since yesterday to type a Fred with my mobile phone because of a small problem, here finally officially the happy customer (tipped on a proper keyboard on a proper PC): HE IS DA! And I think it’s a boy! On Friday afternoon I finally got my Phaeton in reception. It’s a long version, 4 seats with 4.2 V8. Outside it is covered in Tarantella black. , inside fullheath in sun beige with expanded wood in chestnut. The good piece is (but really!) fully equipped, even snaps like a self-lit license plate or a leathered hat rack is on board Perfect for the game drive! So far I am fully satisfied, except for a few smaller zigzags (see separate Freds, I still need help!!!) there is nothing to complain about. Rather on the absolute opposite! Total of the socks ripped me off the engine! I would never have thought about that (and never felt that way on a poppy test drive). And the total ripper is the consumption! On the trip from Thuringia to Munich he was in spite of a healthy 104 speed cut with extremely moderate 11.2 liters, and the last 850km since the pick-up, he had to cycle with an average of only 12.2 liters per 100 km. Even if I usually hate to talk about the consumption of such cars, but I have to mention this with praise. n! Especially since I have hunted him in places quite nicely… So after 2 days and almost 1000km I draw an interim conclusion, with which we all agree: the thing convinces on the whole line!!!!

moin, moin, i am normal in the volvo forum. i was now offered a phaeton w12 build year 06/2005. i have asked a couple of questions. before you have to pay attention to the phaeton, so which macking does it have? how is the consumption of a w12 (under 20l or over 20l)? super or super plus? is the navi cd, dvd or hard plate? besides, the price of about 52000 € at 11.200 km Einbische low. according to the list the car will probably lie over 100 k€. is that a normal price or is there special first shift trendy? thank you for your help. greetings sven

In the large auction house a powerbox for the V10 was offered. 45 Euro plus shipping. +30PS/50 Nm max. are clearly the tuning measures, which are carried out during the change of the software by well-known tuners (MTM, B&B etc.). There are usually +50PS/100 Nm. Quotation: Effect and functioning: The TDI motors of VAG can be tuned relatively easily electronically by increasing the injection amount slightly. The limit is specified by maximum Russian output and is at our In the cylinders, even at full load, there is still an enormous excess air which is sufficient to process an increased injection quantity. Torque and power increase until this excess air is consumed. Since the flow rate of the injection pump is specified, the required injection quantity is simply adjusted by means of extended control times of the injection valves. This is done by our external power box which optimizes the sensor signals That the on-board computer simply regulates an increased injection quantity. In other processes like the engine parameters is not intervened and all relevant engine parameters like e.g. charging pressure remain standard. Less power is definitely because the charging pressure is not increased. I bought the part and will test it once. At Porsche in Neuss is an all-wheel test stand. Let’s see what the small box really brings. Manufacturer is the company MAL Ele ctronics GbR.

Since my car is currently in the workshop (total failure of the on-board control unit 519), I was given a loan phaseton for the first time. So far, I had a Golf Plus or other just tangible vehicles of the car dealership. Yesterday, however, not even a Fox was available and therefore I was surprised in the evening with a rental car from the Europcar fleet. When opening the first nasal hulls, the radio remote control did not work, battery was empty. Take care of a feeling wide as if you are climbing into an ashtray. On the back bench, ash is scattered everywhere and the smell is really penetrant. In addition, the display service lights up again and again on the display. I thought only “kost ja nix” and I only thought about how people reacted to such a vehicle officially booked and paid for. Particularly striking is the painting of the driver’s door, which has certainly been repainted before. The car is silver and di e different colored door even noticed my wife at first glance in the garage. I look forward anyway to my self-maintained car and am glad to get rid of this loan again.

Since I have always been able to get a free equivalent replacement car, today I have rolled the documents and found hardly anything. Where does it stand above the equivalent free replacement car in the following situations: 1. Repair within the warranty period. 2. Repair outside the warranty period 3. “normal” maintenance work – Inspection 4. “normal” wear and tear conditions 5. In case of a breakdown at home place 6. In case of a breakdown on travel 7. In case of self-service Indebted accidents. peso
