Moin, moin Phaeton friends, I’m just wondering if there’s something like a “Phaeton meeting” or a “Phaeton driver regular table” in the Hamburg room or if there’s an interest in it. Interested in finding out what these types are the Phaeton drivers, what you do in real life, whether there’s other common interests etc. How many people should a regular table at least put together? The location? The repetition rhythm? only in early April in Dresden. In anticipation of this and your answers I remain Schnoretti

Hi guys, I have a question again. My Phaeton sometimes jerks into the aisles. If I start slowly, e.g. at a traffic light, then he pushes into the 2nd aisle (I think it’s the 2 aisle, so about 20 kmh). If I drive quickly, then it flows with just a slight delay. What could that be, or is that normal? Greeting Citro74

Hello guys, where do you fill up ? Maybe you should take over the current campaign of freight forwarders ?? tank for at least two months by no means at Shell and Jet. M.E. is the idea of strike of jet most promising. Then maybe more than 1 cent price difference comes. I see that in other countries it is different, currently. On a street the diesel prices vary between 1.42 and 1.23 euros. So it is possible ! Just remember our stupid cartel guards it probably not due to good lubrication. peso

Hello everyone. I’m a brand new motor talk user, but have been driving a V 10 hole on Monday for three years, a long version of the V 10 in Cologne. My old man then goes back to another car dealership in FFM. Have the fear that they will not deal with the recalculations exactly zimperlich. Three weeks ago I was already there to examine the car for paint and other damages. After almost daily call on my side they finally sent me the cost statement. (Delaying tactics, in order not to have repairs done elsewhere?). This also includes the brake system for 1,400,- Euro. Unfortunately, you can also see this on the display, which has been flashing for a few days. My question: what is the minimum strength of the brake pads for a V10 (in another post about the V8 I read 2mm)?

hi, what do you think might be like the above-mentioned comparison in the acceleration. Objectively one would have to claim that the GTI has little chance.

Hello, I have determined the following: My Phaeton is only warm at cold outside temperatures (under 7…8°C) very slowly. 90°C coolant temperature is reached after approx. 30km of highway. If it is warmer the problem does not exist. The temperature is then reached in (feeling) appropriate time. Exactly this behavior would be observed if the heater was defective, however, this is not the case as far as I can judge. The error memory does not contain any entries. If the thermostat was defective, I would assume that the 90°C would never be reached at all? How should you do the best or where could the error lie? On suspicion of replacing the thermostat? Or also the thermostats.. I remember darkly that there are two pieces in the 3.0 TDI? The problem could last longer. I hardly notice this, since I drive almost only in the summer. Also, because of the lack of cold temperatures I could then not to determine at all whether the thermostat change has brought something. MfG

Hello After an exchange of the level control unit I can not learn the control position. I have done everything according to instructions , engine runs , doors and trunk to , car on level place , all errors deleted.The programming I have also adapted and both control units have the same part numbers . If I now select via adaptation the channel 01 and the calibration start so the car moves at the front left only about 10mm (from approx. 270mm to 370mm ) then the display value and eg I don’t get to the next steps. If I raise the car over the basic setting it moves only about 10mm the pressure becomes front 9.34bar rear 6.51bar and the compressor then switches off each time. The level readings are then front 129 or 117mm and rear 112 and 119mm the chassis also rises a bit. What is still important, the car was driven for some time with completely lowered chassis (not from And when I picked it up, the air bellows were also extended, so they are movable. The level sensors are free-access and properly mounted, they also provide a clear signal. Someone has experience with the pressures that come in normal operation.

Hello guys, my navigation CD has the issue state 28.8.2003. Although the state allegedly has no money, but always new roads and especially new roundabouts are built. In the almost 16 month old data inventory these new roads are not included. The saying “drive to the planned route” already haunts me in the dream. According to my dealer and also my supervisor in Dresden, there is no update. Does someone have a newer data stock. Possibility to push VW to an update. Merry Christmas. Greetings Klaus

The story comes from my wife, she wanted to give me a Phaeton Accessoir for the party (shir or wallet). If you want to have such a thing, please proceed as follows: Click on the VW page, then click on the area Models and then Phaethon…then take a little break and relax and sit back and listen to the music. >Follow the button Modellinfo and then click on the heading “Round around the Phaeton” and click on the column Accessories.You will then see 3 pictures of n products, nice but without price. >Don’t despair but click on the lower bar….a little wait (about 1 minute)then comes the entry page (please don’t scare the lyrics are tiny).Now the actual work begins, they have to enlarge the whole thing..and finally 20 articles appear with order no. but without price. > Whether a writing from the Phaeton is attached to the articles is unfortunately not there either. That’s why the background music is really horny . >So nu My wife was slightly annoyed by the hotline, who were connected to the question of price and best. possibility she got the answer she should turn to her dealer.. The poor man sold in two years 2 Phaeton and certainly no accessories in stock. So I did not get any of these beautiful things and my wife (bad as sometimes women) says “Who is the one who wants to order something… even if you don’t care about the price…..it doesn’t work? can not even sell umbrellas, should also not have any special success with the associated cars.

So don’t think I’m stupid now, but I haven’t seen a Phaeton at all lately. I work at a really big VW dealer and normal white we had to repair one of the things from time to time. But in the last three months not a single one anymore. I haven’t seen one on the road for a long time. Only Touaregs I still see many times on the road and with us in the workshop.
