Hello dear community have bought me 4 months ago a v10 tdi at the happy one. since 2 weeks no radio,cd,tel,or navi ton more everything quiet. am to the friendly where I bought it after reading the error memory, you said that you would have to play me a new software on the fat. but you can not do immediately because you first have to order the software cd. since I work professionally in Switzerland I could only 2 weeks later again to my friendly and the of course without music etc, so now have been up again and software played up nix (everything dead) so now it comes a control rope defective means the happy costs smooth 1600 euro + install the I itself should pay, since it does not cover the vvd he thinks. IS THIS CONDUCT CORRECT I have to pay the harm myself? thank you in advance.

It was fantastic…..no traffic, great weather, KM-wide view and my W12 in best mood…. At some point I ran up on a dreamy S-Class (he drove so with about 170 / 180 on the left lane, although everything was free to the right). After some KM I gave a sign of light from behind. He didn’t drive right over, but gave me some gas. At Tacho 260 I was still behind him. Anyway, he drove over then, and I could give my fat guy the “spores”. I drove past the dazed S-man, and could drive my fat as far as Tacho 295…. Now the question, my tacho goes a little too fast or is my fat guy open, and I didn’t know anything about it? According to the approval is TOP-Speed 250 KM/h. Even if the maximum permissible tacho deviation of 7% is taken into account, he should go to Tacho “only” 267…. Ohso, please don’t ask me about the consumption….

Hello can someone tell me how much torque the 5.0 liter V10 TDI has with 313 hp? MFG displacementjunky

Hello, soon there will be a service on my V8 and after a few minor problems with the battery and repeated charging I would like to have them changed immediately. I thought about the Running Bull AGM with 92ah. Has someone here already long-term experiences with this battery, i.e. durability and load capacity? Oh yes, oil I have always used the 0W-30 Longtime Plus of Liqui-Moly up to now (with the 3.2er) and thus made good experiences. Will this now also be used with the V8, standard 504 00 is released. Is there anything against it? Alternating interval is 15,000km.

Dear forum, I am currently playing with the idea of buying a Phaeton. Originally I had planned an amount of up to 20,000 EUR for it. But now a dealer recommended me to choose the 1% financing, also my tax advisor finds the idea great. What is the right one for me I still have to think about. So much for the background. The catch is, the 1% financing only takes place from 30,000 EUR. But for this you get cars with guarantee, or can conclude a guarantee for it. Now I ask myself of course if you have to buy this at all, since I still can’t say how much and if the Phaetons still cause problems. I would like to hear what you have done for experience, whether it is better to buy one from 2008 for little money but without guarantee or to buy a newer one from 2011 with guarantee. Maybe if you also have a few tips for a newcomer I would be very grateful. I have already read every amount but can not channel all this yet so properly. Many thanks and many greetings.

I am new here in the forum and would like to welcome everyone. I have been driving a Phaeton for about 3 months, built in 2003. This one has a problem with the heating from the beginning. And this describes itself as follows. In the stand the ventilation gets nice warm. The temperature of the cooling water is constant to 90 degrees. As soon as I start at the cold temperatures, the ventilation becomes colder and colder to completely cold. However, the engine temperature remains at 90 degrees. In the workshop the water pump and the thermostat have already been changed. However, without success. In the fault memory there are two entries available. Once the storage valve and the air valve. However, according to the workshop, this error has nothing to do with this problem. Furthermore, the stationary heating runs without problems, hoses become warm, but it only arrives cold air inside. If that helps further. I hope I have not forgotten anything and you can help me further. Thanks already in advance.

Hello, How do these vehicles in the title accelerate to 300 hp with the increase in performance? Which V max do the two vehicles have?

Hello, I’m new to your forum. I’m looking for a Phaeton W12. What do I have to pay attention to? Consumption doesn’t play the role Had until yesterday a Touareg W12. The consumption should probably be identical. I was in the city at 22 L and on the highway at 16 L. Makes it sense at VW to complete the Perfect Car warranty. From 8 years there is indeed max 2000€ per damage case. Unfortunately I found no alternative. The following offer is available. Year of construction 06/2004 Complete full equipment. New price was 145000 € Km 130000. Sale of private. What would be a fair price? Thanks and greetings from Berlin Steffen

Hello, I’m currently looking for a comfortable car. I ordered a Volvo S80 T6 some time ago with which I’m still very satisfied. I also own a Porsche Panamera Turbo S which also gives me a lot of pleasure but naturally has other qualities. Now I’m looking for a vehicle that offers a very high ride comfort and a very quiet interior even at high speeds. I came across the Phaeton W12 after a long search. Now I found a very well equipped Phaeton which also has many unique fittings (additional reading lamps rear, electric folding tables, 230V socket, laptop connection, leathered climate console back, lifting the maximum speed to 285 km/h, tinted disks, ceramic brakes, etc.). The only equipment that is missing is the 17.5 liters remaining compressor refrigerator. According to the seller’s statement, a retrofit is not possible since this is only available for the 5-seater. But there were the 4-seaters, ceramic brakes, etc. The only equipment that is missing is the 17.5 liters of residual equipment. I’d be very interested in seeing the best of all the results.

Hello Phaeton friends and drivers, I would like to know what wishes you have for the new generation of VW Phaeton Viell. reads with VW and one or the other will be implemented. I am looking forward to a constructive discussion so that the new Phaeton will again be a top-class vehicle in the circle of Audi A8, BMW 7er and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. I wish for a 4.0 V8 diesel!
