Moin , I have the problem that from one day to the next the fresh air blower at once does not work any more. Free heating is also no longer possible yesterday. Would you like to check the security but with the car you can find no plan for the occupancy. Did someone ever have a similar problem?

Hello Phaeton friends, I’m new to the forum and greet you warmly from nrw. Unfortunately I have a problem with my VW Phaeton 3.0 tdi BJ 2008 with 239ps, mileage 131000km. The problem started about 2 months ago. The flashing light flashed and stood in the display engine malfunction workshop. After a restart everything was ok again, then drove to VW. They probably noticed that I had fuelled probably dirty diesel and thus the fuel filter was closed. Then I also had 5 weeks rest. On Thursday again the same game from the front. I to VW, the car was there again 2 days and then told me, who also don’t know what it is but in any case something with fuel input or so similar. Since the engine had to be opened, they could try to regulate for relatively little money anything on the engine control unit. On the other hand, I could leave the car there for a longer time and could possibly cost 12000 €. I did not do that because I had to be a hundred € a little shocked. The problem was still the same to me today.

Hello first of all, I tried to find something suitable here, but found nothing. My problem with my 2003 V8 is that I started it now after three weeks of standing with a slope, snout up, and immediately squirted it in the engine compartment. It pulled through the ventilation into the interior. I opened the hood and immediately saw white and biting smoke pull up on the left side. This smoke pulled over the spray wall to the right side. What could that be? Before it was turned off there was nothing. I had the hood right before the parking, when the engine was running, and there was nothing there three weeks ago. That smells slightly of burnt oil, but also not directly of engine oil. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks in advance, LG Froschn

Hello, I had an accident the day before yesterday with my Ford is an economic total damage unfortunately now I am looking for a new used one, since I had a passat TDI for over 2 years comes for me also only a diesel in question. So now I want to know from you how the maintenance costs of the Phaeton V10 TDI are so taxes and insurance( 85%). What is a realistic consumption of the V10, and finally I would get a good v10 for c.a. 14-17T€ or would I have to take deeper into the bag? PS: What kind of a badge does the V10 get?

Dear Phaetischists, two days ago my dealer called me and we found together that the time has passed again. The lease for Phaetie No. two runs out 11/2011. Now the question is to drive the old or to move to the new one. I have already seen the new one. It is good as always but not extremely better than the old one. What do you do? Wait for the whole new one? I am very happy with the old one.

This is my second post with you and I already have a few questions: The horn no longer works. The previous owner was at a wedding and horned as often as it goes, suddenly she didn’t go any more. I would first look at the fuses for the horn. This sits driver’s side under the light switch, right? The radio key no longer works, on the return journey everything went still. The next then only sporadically. Now I open it with the key beard. And just now he showed me in the display “Searching for a driver’s fault workshop” and beeped. After a few seconds the error had disappeared. I had the comfort battery on the left side in suspicion, opened the cover and it stood 18/06 on the pole – so June 2018? This should probably be changed more quickly? The voltmeter shows something over 13 volts. Must it be more and is already an indication for a weakening battery? Furthermore, the steering wheel heater is not working, but the button is there, but when I press it on the seat heater o does not work?

Good evening together and a good slide tomorrow! Question for the exprets. Yesterday I entered the control unit for the Neveu regulation via VCDS, since my fat guy was quite a little bit higher than on the other side.. But then had a problem. If man goes to 1 (front R.) the car should first move up to 2 minutes to enter VALUE. However, that didn’t happen even after 10 minutes… Repeating several times did not bring anything. Then I went over the basic settings and “played around” i.e. let out some air in front, let out a little bit, empty the compassor and refilled again. After that I could finish the procedure with the Niveu regulation and the error of the missing adjustment had finally disappeared. Now the question, did I with the basic settings in the control unit 46 possibly put what? I did not press in any case, but on finished, quick or something. Greet Anton

Hello to the experts since the previous contributions did not lead to the goal I would like to take up this topic again: Starting position: crossbar front axle not renewed with MEYLE HD handlebars level sensors ! Built out, only hung down to mounting air spring beforehand in workshop mode, no air drained! Assembly laborious but went so. Before measure fender lower edge to wheel center measured front 375mm (depth laying 5 years ago by adjustable rods, so far without problems) construction of the new transverse handlebars (all on the front axle) the car is 2cm !!! Above the asphalt. So air spring almost below. So impracticable. and errors in the cockpit. Engine on, all doors closed, gearbox on P Deleted with VCDS error. (Control system not learned) Access 08…. Basic adjustment. Vehicle pumped up. After that height in the extended measured values brought by adjustable coupling rods to the same level. After that again access to control unit basic adjustment, ok, adjustment and d he values first confirmed with 407,407,405,401 and saved with 1. Vehicle height still catastrophe! So adjust again with decreased values: 400,400,405,4001 —-Abortion! Then no more access authorization. 10 min when ignition wait. Again nothing! After felt 10 attempts and hours later tried again with actually measured values wheel-coating 355,340,390,383 Abortion! Then again no authorization. Then driven to the friendly today. At least the car went up a few centimeters and stayed there, but there’s a bug landing gear. Control system didn’t learn, no bend light. I think only I/we have tried all the possibilities. Please someone from this forum still have an idea for troubleshooting? and please, spare me with statements like “why deeper” etc. It’s like it is and it MUST give a solution, such a ve The sensors are ok and also show in VCDS motion and change the information when you move the parts. Why the hell can’t the measured heights be saved?? As you certainly notice by my increasingly unbridled tone, I’ve been up for days and I’m about to light the cart. Don’t bring anything, I know. So please love People, give with solutions. Many thanks to all who involve you constructively

Servus in the round. Have a P GP2, BJ 2009. Seat adjustment works, as well as the memory function. What’s not possible is that if I unlock the vehicle with my key and open the driver’s door, the seat moves into the previously stored position. Only when I press the corresponding memory button on the seat does it drive into the position. Does one of you know where the problem is? VG Stefan
