How about V8 and the TDI V10. Simply post experiences and tips. Greetings to all.

I had a 3.0 TDI since Dec. 04 and already after three days the car had to be repaired for a week in the workshop. The guys were able to fix almost all the defects. Except for: 1. Luggage compartment can no longer be opened in the cold. However, the workshop was then forbidden by VAG the repair. 2. The electric coops of the rear bench automatically drive to the highest level and prevent so successfully that I can sit there, because the lower edge of the head What means, in the event of an accident, the coop support breaks my neck. Even this deficiency cannot be eliminated by VAG, because the head restraint only knows at the very top or at the bottom and here too the repair shop was forbidden. Otherwise it is a great car which, however, due to construction cannot be used with luggage and on its back bench only people can sit over 180cm. As a result of the very It’s very strange why I was hired by my A8 with a lot of muzzle to be treated as if I had bought a car in an auto cinema for a full of 200 Euros. Only to avoid any misunderstandings, the workshop is great and does not cause any problems, it’s the manufacturer who doesn’t know that customers are customers and without just this, there is no turnover. I’ll go to my next Audi.

After 6 weeks as a proud Phaeton owner a power steering line in the wheel box on the left above the wheelhouse shell at the screw connection licks. This was already described 100x here, but despite careful reading of all posts I still did not understand whether the engine has to be replaced or not. To understand: The line comes from the direction of the engine compartment and nestles on the left wheelwheel, then left next to the wheel. The number 3D1 422 893 D is stuck on the pipe. I understand that there are probably 2 types of lines: 12 and 12 b Can someone help? Thanks and greetings, Michael

Hello. I would like to turn briefly to the phaeton experts. Unfortunately, I don’t know at all. I still have a Phaeton 5.0 TDI long built in 2005. The TÜV IST 11/2013 expired. For 3 months he stood in the garage. Before that I moved him sporadically. When I drove out of the garage it squeaked and there was a liquid in the front left side. I gave him to a friend. There was a tube rusty/porous or similar from the servo steering front. With an exchange 700€, away. When I wanted to hire him now at mobile he drove only with about 90 hp when driving back to the garage. We had to refill about 3 liters of cool liquid after 10 km. The rear left footroom is totally wet/humid. Apparently there has to be a leak. So after the whole bla bla bla my question. What do the experts advise me to do? I pay 160€ to 12/2015. then the residual value of the VW bank is set at 6069€. He now has 180.000 kms worth of repairs etc. I would like to buy some good advice. I can’t.

Hello Phaetian, I have to breathe my anger here!!! I spent a beautiful Phaeton W12,Year of construction 03.2007,running performance 3000 kilometers,with all extras!! So quasi a new car! The non-binding new price was 187.000,00 €. I spent 59.000,00 € for it.That’s also not the topic, I got a lot of car for it. Now I had the wish to get something more sporty and decided for the Audi S5 Coupe 4,2 FSI Tiptronic! Although the W12 according to the dealer’s price is still about 42000,00 € in different lists is unfortunately not offered to me more than approx.24.000,00 €!!! Also the dealer with whom I had bought the vehicle told me the same thing,with the explanation,the demand gives the price!! Can a dealer with this excuse beat me a trade deal? I know nevertheless that I always have a loss business, but I really have to find such a mock price with it? Does anyone have similar experiences? I wish you all a good one in 2012!

A little history: There is no boss chair or office chair that makes me almost satisfied. Somehow everything is not really adjustable, in principle everything junk where you turn on some wheels and only change the pitch of the knarzens. I have already passed through many models from 100 to 800 euros. If I sit in the Phaeton I do not think at all about such problems. Now someone has shown me today “racing seats” as an office chair. Such a Recaro bowl on office chair rolls Since the idea came to me from an original seat to make an office chair. They just had to put a 12V cable and install armrests to me somehow. To do this a stable substructure Be put on whether this is so easy, but I wanted to ask you something: Where do you get such a seat, and what do you pay for it? I don’t even know what you pay for it at VW.

hello, I have the problem after the exchange of the comfort battery that my phone starts and then hangs up with the message “voicedial error”. I don’t think I have a voicedial option – in the manual there is nothing about it or about the error. I open you can help me – with the old battery everything went normal. mfg

Hello, would you like to ask what this is about for rims? Did you let me tell you that it is Omanyt who is supposed to give it to the Phaeton, can someone confirm that? If one of you knows what the rims cost at the dealer, so in some way? Thanks for the help.

Today I’m browsing the VW website again and reading the following: An interesting work of art gives your associations enough space to unfold. A quality that also dominates the Phaeton. Choose the body of the Phaeton according to your desired comfort – because it is available, whether as a four* or five-seater, even with a longer wheelbase. The 120 millimetre distance between the axles not only gives more legroom in the rear, but also more light: thanks to standard sliding/mounting glass roof. * The four-seater will be available again at a later date. At the EPOC meeting, the 4 seater was no longer needed. Did I miss something?

Hello, I’m driving a Phaeton for the second time now. The first one with a heater. Would you like to program it now, but don’t quite understand the operating instructions Can it be that I can only program the heater for 3 days??? Would you like 5? Then, after the programming has been done, the heating has to be switched on at the top left or not??? Thank you very much. Stefan
