Hello Phaeton pilots, for a long time another off. Meeting, like the I. and II, is planned.The planning is now underway.Thanks to *Lord Perenolde*, who will take over the administrative this time.The Phaeton Management WOB and the GMD are expected to support the process. We would be very pleased to be able to see the WOB and GMD friends and acquaintances again and to get a bit of insight into your working world Phaeton, especially this time in WOB. More likely, “still non-binding” date is the 21st to 23rd April 2006. (One week after Easter, since some travel with the family at Easter after all) The possible number of participants is not yet fixed and agreed. It will be limited again to 30-40 persons. A registration will be possible, thanks to *Lord Perenolde*, online in the next 1-3 weeks. To this end, the Lord has designed a first simple FPOC “First Phaeton Owners Club” website. Interested parties at the Phaeton meeting you should express your interest here and tell the number of passengers (adults/children). So then, until the days when news can be announced. PS: Hello *mms* and *mms.nm* can you join the Orga? Best regards aci

Hello, I drive a silver-coloured Phaeton 3.0 TDI Built 05/05, which has so far run 35,500 km. On the vehicle front there are countless small paint damage, which probably comes from stone strokes. Since I am not a slow driver (travel speed – where it is possible – 180 to 220 km/h, high BAB share), this problem is already known to me from previous cars. Only the damages of the Phaeton are much more extensive than before with many BMWs and Audis. What experiences do you have with the Lac kqualität and has anyone ever been able to enforce a repair of the stone impact damage on guarantee? Thank you for your answers! Greetings TJN

….I have – involuntarily – achieved these days by my son winning a bet against me. I would not like to discuss what it was about, and whether it is pedagogically responsible to bet with his offspring. In any case, a Germany flag flutters at the back right of my fat one. The reactions range from headshaking to enthusiasm. My oldest friend called to tell me that he had just passed by me and had seen that there was some such thing. Prell with his flagged VW placed in front of my garage. A juvenile employee explained to me that a flag is out, on both sides it must already be. In fact, since then I noticed that my flag colleagues mostly carry left and right. My theory, however, is that many have enthusiastically bought a flag and then found the one of the World Cup still later. So, I remain right-winger. And now my request: Flag your Phaetons, let the left disc down and turns up the radios!!!!………do not leave me alone. Your Max

Hello P. Friends, now I finally have my V8 (after the V6) and would like to have it converted to LPG quite promptly. Have already informed me in detail, but still need some specific infos, especially of which have a V8 upgrade. 1. Which system did you install? I was offered Prins (2 evaporators), Icom, and Vialle to date. 2. Did you have problems with your system, apart from the initial settings? 3. Which tank do you have, Volume? 4. What would you do differently or don’t do anymore. 5. Do you switch to petrol at full throttle? (automatic or by control) 6. What should I absolutely pay attention to? Thank you Greetings Flodder

I’m sorry iAlexi, but that’s an outcry, that’s what we need to summarize and stand together.

This topic is OT (in case of doubt it may be postponed the mod), but I have set it especially here, because I, as a Phaeton driver from 11 July and reader of this subforum, think that I can get a good tip here. Yesterday my wife with your C-Max, which I bought her 1 week ago, came to a construction site. The road marking was renewed. There were 2 workers on site. One regulated the traffic, the other sat on his “color car” and e My wife came out of the side street and wanted to turn left. The “colour car” passed her from left to right when the second man moved her with arm movements to drive through. My wife turned off accordingly. Arrived, car parked and no longer paid attention to it. When she came back to the car about 1 hour later, she saw that the left side (both directly behind the wheels) and the wheel boxes inside were completely covered with white splashed paint. When I arrived home, she tried to remove the paint: NO CHANCE!! I, mighty loaded, had been to the city today and presented the facts. The man told me that he was not responsible, but another congregation. When he called there, the other official said that my wife should be glad that she had not been billed, because the line had to be drawn because of her. Meanwhile, I know that the congregation has forgiven the autrag. Tomorrow I will return to the desprec Do I have a chance to get along without RA? Has anyone had any experience with this matter? How is this legal? Please look forward to your answers!! Volker (who will finally drive Phaeton from 11.07.)

Meal together, let’s ask a question. I had a *?x*! cut a key scraper into the passenger door (Tarantella black) months ago. It is easy 30-40cm long, pretty central on the door and goes up to the primer (not to the tin!). Now I wanted to get to the disposal and collected the following information: – “No problem!” (Smart Repairer) – “Smart Repairers we don’t trust in the way” (My conditioner) – “Too big for Smart Repair” (VW Hä ndler) – “approx. 600,- Euro, door has to be painted” (2 VW dealers) Now I don’t know anything anymore. I find the VW price ridiculous, for half I get 2 bumpers painted with the paintr. Of course with invoice. Because of the door I haven’t asked with the paintr yet, it didn’t turn up… What can Smart Repairer really do? Does that do what? I want to avoid on the one hand unnecessary (even more) money with meaninglessness at the Phaeton, on the other hand I am a s Very sensitive person and everything under 100% is even more thrown out money. My dealer has removed a few scratches from the rear bumper, that has simply become perfect. So smart repair can’t be that bad. Unfortunately, I overthrew myself with them, so that’s not an option. What are your experience values? What can you do, what should you leave? And does someone in Munich know a trustworthy address? That’s the most important of all… h some thanks for your help! Greetings Matthias

Hello colleagues, also at the risk that the one or the other gets bored: I have tried the search function of the forum for almost an hour now and can’t get any further. I am grateful for every tip! I am not satisfied with the braking performance of my V10TDI. Drive almost exclusively highway, about 60-65 tkm p.a. Besides, I am disturbed by the fact that I can exchange all 20 tkm brake pads and brake discs, cost point about 1700-1800 €. I would like to make one-time money into an orde I would be happy if I could get tips from the “practice”, who has installed other pads / discs? Thank you!

Hurrah, my Phaeton is here! After the first damper – no white painted sleepers! – (but will still be painted), I got my Phaeton today! It is from 6 2007 and has all the equipment, except sunroof and switch paddle. I would have liked the sliding roof, I can do without the shift paddle, even if the V8 invites to the road robber. I ordered the car without having seen a picture before – therefore also the surprise of the non-painted sleepers… Z A “Volkswagen VIP customer” – whatever that is – had reserved the car so to speak away from me… Then I got them properly “on the roof” and he was given free again. Together with the Campanella White and the piano lacquer black – really nice, I think! With 11tkm and 50,000 euros for special equipment – a bargain! Of course leased and not bought. For the same leasing rates I would have got a well-equipped 5 Series BMW – there was no choice In the future 2 cm less height, as well as next spring Black/Silver rims will be added – even if some of them will snub over the “tuning” – Black/Silver rims with a white car, I find simply beautiful. Besides, you can still “dance out of line” with 25 as an online entrepreneur. Now first some photos, because I think that the Grenadine is not so widespread yet! – Sorry the bad quality of the photos – but for a new Digicam has not been enough

…you have parked your car on the road and come to your car more or less sleepy the next morning and what is very you? Power and dynamics. A chrome-gloss grille. Brilliantly designed rear lights. Formally perfect elegance. Precision and perfection. A distinctive look. The varnish shines sparklingly in the sun. But what is that? … … someone forgot his good nursery (or obviously had none at all) and could not fail to prove it. 15 cars had to believe in it and have scratches from the front to the back. Our Phaeti got it by far the most. He must probably be painted totally new… I could cry!!!! I don’t know how you are, but my Saturday is messed up anyway…
