Hello, had brought my Phaeton to the workshop for an inspection. A noise was detected on the engine. Now it is called the engine on the 10th cylinder a piston eater. With the same cylinder also wg. engine noises the pump/nozzle unit (???) was replaced. Is that the actually normal that such an engine can go after only 66TKM kaput ? Drive the car every day about 35 km through the city. Rarely highway. It a V10 diesel, 66TKM, year 2004 Friendly greetings Carvin

My V10 Dicker crossed yesterday the 150,000 km mark, I have now 4 years and he himself is 2004 year of construction. 150km were my limit until then to seriously worry and to think about a change. Well, I had an Alfa Romeo 🙂 But actually I don’t like to change at all (financial crisis sends greetings). Finally I also had a bigger problem (wood knock), but what can now come up to me? Which things happen so at 150 Tsd km upwards? Well, in the last 4 years I have so tasted the well-known range of Phaetonitis (turbos through, Kessy drunk, door strips “rusted”, ventilation blinds, windscreen wipers, sliding roof drain, etc.) By the way: Recently I have a strange wobble of the steering wheel at cold start, which disappears after some time. I have to worry or is that too little air in one of the front tyres from Vienna – especially to the eager forum participants with the great advice.

Hello dear community, while browsing on eBay I came across various parts such as ECUs for the track change assistant. I’ve searched a lot on the net and here in the forum, but I hardly found any retrofitting HowTos. What did you retrofit? Did you find your instructions? I’d like to retrofit ACC, Keyless and the track assistant if possible. At the ACC (which seems to be also used from the kit in the Audi) someone has retrofitted with an Audi. I’m happy about your answers.

Hello, I bought a 5.0 V 10 from a VW dealer 3 weeks ago with the car so far everything is ok. I now ended 🙂 that the Phaeton has a heater (why I saw it only now? it was not an FB with it and I thought it didn’t have one). But in the menu there is this point and airing does it too. After a question with the dealer it was “the SH was with and without FB to buy it”, right that way? If he doesn’t have a SH the point would not be in the menu.

Hello dear community, I wish you a Merry Christmas. I have the following error message and hope you can help me.

Hello Phaeton driver, I think of a Phaeton to lease, the conditions with the 1% I find very tempting. The car is subject to a high value loss which I would not have had before and could leave the car after 3 years again. Would only take one with warranty and up to approx. 500 € rate. I had already thought about 1-2 years ago but can not remember that the offers would have been so good. I tried a 3.0 diesel, I liked it very well. But I drive only about 15,000 i.e. I do not necessarily have to be a diesel. What do you recommend, what is to be paid attention to, what is it with the costs and the vulnerability (if there are any at all )? I find the Phaeton is at the moment the cheapest upper class – car what you can get.

Hello Phaeton driver, I was looking for a solid long-haul vehicle, which also makes 400km at night in 2:30. I stepped on the Phaeton. I know this upper class is quite good and cheap. I found this one in my surroundings, which I really like very much.http://home.mobile.de/AH-ROELL#des_181379736 I wrote to the dealer, and he offers me the Phaeton for 16000 but without guarantee! But since I buy privately, he has to give me a guarantee, or am I misinformed there!? He will not give me a letter when I buy it where I don’t like the guarantee or!? Warranty would be important to me, because I had 2 used by Private in the last 4 months, and now both are there. The last one is an Opel signum, which has a low-bay sink, I lose coolness if I have about 140 km/h and from about 40 km. What do you know about it?

Hello together, I would be interested in what exactly happens with the PHAETON when he goes to the GMD as a leasing returner before he comes to the Hänfdler. I have three PHATONs in view, they all cost the same amount: 1.) 3.0 TDI, BJ 2007, 72tkm, very well equipped with winter tyres, 3. hand, from the dealer with warranty 2.) 3.0 TDI, BJ 2007, 79tkm, very lean equipped, no winter tyres, 1. hand leasing returner, is still at the GMD 3.) 3.0 TDI, BJ 2007, 77tkm, very lean equipped, no winter tyres, 1. hand leasing returner, is still at the GMD I wonder if the PHAETON, which comes from the GMD, is technically and visually better? Thank you for your tips. Greetings Daniel Daniel

Hello, does someone know how to change the flasher in the mirror? Mine in the left mirror has a crack, from whereever. Do you have to turn the mirror glass out? A glass like this won’t cost the world, right? Another question: Has someone ever provided a GP0 with mirror glasses (outside) that? I would like to find a meaningful tuning measure. thank you Moseltaler

Hello guys, don’t think I’m crazy if you read this question. I’m currently driving a VW Multivan and would now like to switch to a Phaeton. Today’s test drive (V6 Diesel Built 07/2010) was a pleasure. I would have to decide by tomorrow whether to take this model. Various tests and reports talk about the older generation over and over again. Do I have to worry about being too young at 35?
