Does VW have delivery difficulties with spare tires? Does VW have a geiz_is_geil_strategy for premium products? I can almost not believe that. But I have the urgent initial suspicion that something is wrong here. For a premium product like the Phaeton I consider this (error) service to be inadequate to insufficient. With this service produce downtimes. Example: I park my vehicle in the 200 km away airfield 10 days, return at night, the unrecognized nail has to Dru The new Phaeton is really excellent. I am completely satisfied. But this service, dear VW central warehouse is extremely bad and deficient. My demand is: The replacement tyre for a premium product from the standard series MUST be available after 24 hours at the latest! Have you had similar experiences besides DSU? Hasel

Hello, I’ve been looking at several Phs in the last few weeks with the intention of buying. I had to notice an increased wear of the leather on the backrest / door-holm side of all vehicles. Also vehicles with proven under 40,000 km, had this appearance. Regularly “weaved”, which I could not imagine with a car in this league. Otherwise it is still regularly noticeable that the plastic door irons are almost always warped and “scrambled” from the threshold. that with the car a cover part, which must be changed from time to time? Does someone have experience with repair / culant etc. Ahoi Kopi

Have a few questions before I make the big trip to: Fresh: Keyless Go door lock defective, on all doors search function means that if a door is defective, everyone can be disturbed. Backlight half of the trunk lid had a suspension. In addition, it always switches off when the tailgate is opened or closed, of course the headlights are on. (a wanted funk sound?!) Search did not help. Standlight defective. What costs actually such a Change? The search function has shown that you could do something like that yourself, but I’m not exactly wild about disassemblying my car. What older: decorative strip of the window top partly from the anchoring. What does such a thing cost? And last but not least: when I wanted to start the cold engine (V8) today he immediately switched off again, only electronics remained on. This has happened in the past already the more open, maybe once a month or even less but now immediately two times a day. l in one day (each cold engine). In addition, when changing from the 1st to the 2nd gear and back it is easy. In addition, an oil change should be due (LongLife) but the car has not yet reported. Ok, thank you for reading and for every tip/ advice etc. until then

Hello, is it possible to retrofit sun blinds on the rear doors?

Hello dear Phaetonists, after I had returned my first used V6 due to too many defects, used car rental car, and the following V8 unfortunately fell victim to a Wirtsch.- total damage, I now leave the Phaeton municipality again after about 8 months. Well, what should I say, the P. is unique in “almost” everyone’s sight. A great car, many small zigzags (can only speak of the year 03/04) but just unique! Hardly any other A uto awakens so many emotions, with the driver, as well as with those who would like to drive him (or not). It is, and will never be, a savings car, a fun car it is, insofar as you have the nerves for it. I separate myself with a laughing eye and a crying eye from the diva. Now to enter a “08/15” BMW 530d will probably be something unusual, but I think that this suit will suit me better, as I 110 and not 58 carry Allen here a good ride with the thick, greeting Flodders

Hello to everyone. After a long consideration, I also bought a V10 on 13.10.. Great car, so far no problems, as long as you can say this for the short time or about 6000 km. For a few days, however, I have noticed a short “screwing” when accelerating, e.g. when driving on a motorway or at the beginning of a fast-tracking process. It is really very short, not too loud, sometimes well audible, sometimes hardly perceptible, but it is not always! So far, it is not always easy for me. Is it possible to produce this sound on purpose. From the feeling I would say that it occurs while switching down. In my opinion, however, it comes from the direction of the right rear wheel. Can someone tell me what this could be before I run for warranty? Hendrik

hello, I have bought a phaeton V8. I bought the vehicle with “mortor renewed at 103500 km” the vehicle now has 136tkm – in the inspection the already loose belt had to be renewed. now my question – what is the motor renewed? in my view everything except the components should be new???? according to history only the hull engine and 2 cylinders were renewed – what do you mean?? I had the vehicle at the salesman, a vw house in berlin, around the to eliminate leakiness at the gearbox (at 130tkm). it was probably only evaporated…. during the inspection 3-4 liter gear oil have been missing, the gearbox is now racing when it switches from 3 to 4 and from 4 to 5 under load (predominantly mountain up).I would like to return the vehicle now – which does not go without lawyer… what do you think about the case – do you have tips for me??? thank you

Hello my Phaeton friends, every time I stand at the traffic light and take my foot off the brake to drive off, he makes terrible noises. It would be nice if you would help me with what this is about?

I think all this delusion of weight saving is senseless. Since the developers forget that there is also wind from the side. I once had a Sierra. It moved at 180 km/h by one meter. With the wind of the last days I noticed that the high Phaeton weight brings considerable advantages. When I saw the jingling vehicles, became quite different to me. My Phaeton stubbornly pulled its track with at least, partly 180 km/h. peso

Good evening, I have been driving a V10 TDI for 15 months now. BJ. 08/2005 KM: On purchase 27000 KM, now 95000 KM. Annual driving performance approx. 55000 KM. So far very satisfied and hardly any problems. Except for small things. Now was the following. Ascent on the federal road. Easy acceleration of approx. 40 KM/H. No full throttle, since the car was still cold and then I am always very careful until the engine is really warm (approx. 15 KM to the highway). more, could only drive 80 KM/H. Next exit down, car off, new started. Everything is fine. Today about 200 KM drove without any problems. No warning lights went on. So I am short to the friendly. Nothing in the error memory. Then drove on the highway and again a little faster (230 KM/h). Everything is fine. Now my questions: 1. Can it be the well-known Turbo problem? With the KM performance or does that occur earlier? 2. Was the problem also with Fahrz 3. Can you see somewhere if the emergency running program is active ? 4. Kaut history were not changed the turbos at the vehicle, although the car was a leasing vehicle and before I got it was 2008 probably in Dresden ? 5. Do I then not claim to have a free change, because from VW was missed to change the turbos ? 6. Or do I make myself crazy for nothing and it is not the turbos at all ? I know, the topic Turbo has been dealt with many times lt and I have also already read viiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeel in the forum, yet I have not found the correct answers. Therefore thank you for the answers. Greetings Markus
