Category: VW Phaeton Forum

Hello, I’m not a screwdriver myself, but I have a fogening problem: Would like to convert a Phaeton V6 to autogas, with a wheel dump tank in the spare wheel dump. Here, the said pump, which has to be installed first, before the spare wheel dump can be used. Various inquiries with VW operations in my environment all brought a cancellation. But I have read here in the forum and on the internet that it is done. Should it even be relatively easy after a contribution, since the cables are all long enough to move the pump into the right trunk. Does anyone know about the repair and could possibly even perform it against appropriate honoring? Come from the greater Hameln/Hannover Bielefeld area.

Hi guys! My fat guy doesn’t have an el. tailgate, but normally you just have to lean on it, then it’s pulled on by itself. But it doesn’t work anymore for a short time. I have to lean on it and then put some pressure on it from above…then it pulls up. (comfort battery is new) The tailgate is now always totally smeared with finger and hand prints. Looks like… now my question: Did one of you ever have this problem? I thought first that maybe something got stuck, but I found ncihts. I disassembled everything and reassembled…nothing found. Thanks.

To make it short: In terms of workmanship and driving noise, the Phaeton beats the S-Class In terms of driving comfort, the S-Class has now caught up and is slightly ahead with the camera system. Up to now, the Phaeton has been a benchmark in these disciplines. In the S-Class, the handgun compartment and the gap dimensions have also been criticized. The processing at the Phaeton was felt to be better. Read more in the current Auto Motor Sport of today…. Because of that, the Phaeton is no longer an upper class…. gruss pesbod

N’abend from Madrid. I’ve been driving one of the estimated 10 Phaetons here (3.0 TDI, BJ 2006, 117TKM) for almost 5 years. My friendly (free Touareg specialist, highly praised here in the local forum) has exchanged the part circled in the first picture (driver side next to oil rod). Is everything better again, no afterdiesel, exhaust warning light so far not addressed. Although my Spanish is already quite good, I don’t care about some designations. Therefore my question: Is this the much-described suction tube valve (2nd picture) or something else? Have already tried the search function diligently, but I’m not sure. Apart from what that is: What would the part in Germany cost + installation? Have paid a total of 475,-€ and that was a little bit more for me. Is it about this part number: 8E0145950E? Wouldn’t want to check that he didn’t pull me over the table.

Hello together, I love to get the Phaeton to me for years. Especially the new model from 2011 did it to me and it is in my opinion once again a clear leap forward in this segment for VW. But what prevents me from doing so far is not the price! Because with the 1% leasing, after my calculation there is no significant difference in the maintenance costs compared to my now Passi 2.0 TDI Highline. And certainly not if you compare what you get for it. Well, admittedly, the Phaeton would be already 1 – 1.5 year(s) old – well? Rather, for me it is essential that there is still no corresponding AutoHold – replacement in the ACC until now to my knowledge! Am here correctly informed that in the Phaeton the ACC still does not (as opposed to Touareg) completely slow down and drive again? I just don’t want to have the foot on brake at the automaton. Once Autohold; always Autohold. What do you think? Greeting!

Hello municipality, with my GP3 I pulled in the third stone blow with the subsequent crack of the windshield. I drive 25′ km a year commercially, the insurance was known this. Now the insurance (generali – so no low cost insurer) threatens me with the cancellation with the new damage report. Of course they have the right and other insurers also have this in their AGBs. But do you have such a behavior of the insurance already experienced already already because of a “lappy” windshield (with which I also still have SB)? My contributions still cover the damage height of all three disks so far – so I am still economically for them. And at all – to me the front disk of the P seems to be extremely sensitive to stone blow. Have you had similar experiences?

Hello and good evening! I tried with the search function to find out how to become master of the “wipe after” of the windscreen wiper, but so far in vain – maybe I lack the right search term. With a long trip to the country of the mountains it has constantly annoyed me today, and even earlier: If you want to free the windscreen from the dirt on it, you briefly press the windscreen wiper lever, it sprays, some times wipe and everything is great. Then a moment passes, and suddenly the windscreen wiper wipes over the dry disk, and you have dry streaks of the road salt mixture that is now on it in front of you. Can’t it be prevented somehow? The “wipe after” has always disturbed me. A small negligence in the design, but somehow disturbing, especially because the water tank gets empty much faster than necessary.

I’m just thinking about installing a cockpit camera. So a camera that is installed behind the windscreen and also has a small screen. The highlight is that the camera emits infrared rays and also has a corresponding detector and can be used as a night vision device or as an additional vision device in the fog. But now I have thermal protection glazing. Is that how the IR rays are re-felkt back into the interior? Or is that only the case if they want to be inside from outside? Does anyone have any experience with this?

After looking for a suitable Phaeton for me for several months, I found it. Equipment fits, motorization fits, mileage and age everything great. V6 TDI from 2009 with 100,000 km. So I grabbed the family for pro-owned. When we then took place on the back seat I was a bit scared. I had to find with my 182 cm already serious problems a pleasant sitting position, without coming with the head to the roof sky. On the middle place under the lighting unit it was even impossible. So I could not convince my family (woman and 2 small children) from the car. I wonder that I could not find this “problem” here in the forum yet. Does no one of you take persons of 182 cm and larger on the back seat with me, or did I catch an unfavorable equipment mix (premium seat, solar sliding roof,…)? I really don’t know any more, so I unfortunately never get the project Phaeton with my wife. Is the Phaeton really helpful to get the wrong comments for the car?

Crime scene: VW Hahn Sindelfingen Crime: length changed front and rear BTW: The discs were still good (at TKM 50) otherwise it would be “probably EUR 2000 to 2500 EUR” (I don’t even know such prices from Porsche) I had expected some things but over EUR 800 even exceeded my expectations… PS: Has someone had experience with the leasing return. My 19 inch Omanyt still have a lot of profile but by the end of November I will still drive a lot. From when do the new tires calculate? BTW: The front ones are running at a ratio of 2:1. That’s why I let the rear ones go forward now. But then the tires will probably be at 2mm in front + back at the end of November. I have to brake down until the end of November When the end of November 4 new tyres and new discs are due, then the profitability calculation will be badly burdened… And my Omanyt have all a lot of thanks v.a. in the brightly turned area. Can I do something with Smart Repair? How does it look with smaller scratches?
