Category: VW Phaeton Forum

Hello. Now that I have been reading the posts in the forum every day for more than a year, I would like to introduce myself today and look for your advice at the same time: In January 2015 I fulfilled my dream and bought a 2009 Phaeton 3.0 TDI used at VW: almost 80 TKM, very well equipped with a former list price of approx. 95.000 € I enjoy basically every short as long ride in my thickness. The problems occurring at the beginning were eliminated within the scope of the dealer guarantee (St and heating defective, wire harness trunk replaced, both doors painted on the left for blistering, rear light replaced). As far as so good, otherwise only pleasure driving. However: When buying my Phaeton I was promised an extendable Phaeton function guarantee. However, I have not received this until today. To shorten: It turned out that the VW seller submitted the application for the Phaeton function guarantee 13 days too late. There is this guarantee only up to a certain amount. In the meantime, I was offered a Perfect Car Pro warranty, which is known to be much worse than the Phaeton feature warranty, especially if you have exceeded the 100 TKM limit. The friendly one now makes the commitment to cover all the difference costs for repairs that would be covered by the Phaeton warranty, but not by the Perfect Car Pro warranty. The latter should now give me 952,- € !!! cost and at the same time I hear that the friendly one has economic problems and possibly even the insolvency threatens. This would probably not be worth his commitment for the cost assumption of the difference costs. I drive my fat so gladly… but I am not sure whether I should take the cost risk or it is better to reject it. Now the oil service is due and for a few days sporadically the engine malfunction light lights up (but not constantly and even without the hint So far, I don’t notice any fault during the ride. But I don’t have the guarantee in my pocket yet and I haven’t been to the workshop yet to have the error read out. Distinctive situation…

Hello dear forum members, at last I could decide to also belong to the circle of Phaeton owners. I read a lot in advance in this forum and was totally impressed. Skoda Octavia, 3 years old, away and used Phaeton with top equipment (follow photos), but unfortunately still a GP1 from 2/2008, but totally cool. My question: is it possible to change the control unit (3c8035730e) with this car as well to be able to call the IPhone 6s without any problems ???? Request for information. I am looking forward to lively exchange in this forum. sent most warmly HIT-Hanel

So, now also the idea of me and my Phaeton promised in another thread. To me, I am masculine and (still) 28 years old and since April this year proud owner of a Phaeton GP0 V10 TDI in green metallic. I have been reading here for a long time, so actually since November last year, and was able to read to me the necessary knowledge to buy a Phaeton. Thanks to everyone at this point, you make the forum to what it is: Helpful and to a place at In itself, my fat guy is in a pretty good condition, here and there are a few blemishes (door moulding grate, interior mobile phone holder). Up to the purchase checkbook maintained at VW and also the history is understandable. So I would say, here still a few pictures of the thick one and … you let yourself. Best regards Sebastian

Hi, is it easily possible to replace the blue dot amplifier (Premium 12/12) with a 2009 dynaudio? Since I replaced the blue dot basses (front and rear) with dynaudio basses, I find that high tones in the ear ache. Speak the speakers in the mirror triangle crunch bite and falsify vocal inlays. If I turn around at the volume on certain tracks I can also perceive a slight “knisse” during the time. Now my consideration lies in the fact that the V Strengthen to strengthen What exactly do I have to pay attention to? Do I find this back right in the trunk? Is it enough to make out the engine and the ignition? Thank you!!! Greetings

Hello everyone, after my bought GP2 wanted to lease me a GP3. The offer of the Autohaus Burger was very good, but in an e-mail with the exact equipment and further details made me 1250 Euro net transfer costs to the car dealership stutzig. Because these should then be calculated to me still separately… . Do you have experience with it, or have you paid another amount (ll. even nothing) !? The vehicle was ordered by the AH already before my request. were and is almost already on the truck. I hope the transfer costs will be spared if the vehicle is at the dealer’s for a short period of time. Kind regards from Thuringia, Andreas

Good afternoon, I have a problem with a Phaeton W12 MKB: BAN Bj:2003 The error is as follows: The engine starts and goes out after 2 sec. again. If the accelerator pedal is kicked during the start the engine stays running as long as it is actuated, if you let it go the engine goes off. The exhaust gas smells very strongly of gasoline and the engine also has malfunctions. Furthermore, the airbag SG can not be reached. I hope someone can help me. MfG Kaleut1988

Hello forum, have added the following feature to the W12: http://www.pedalbox.com/?gclid=CK6_r8Xzj7MCFUFb3godLVoAfg After the first experiences, the whole vehicle feels much more direct when giving gas, the different adjustment options make sense. The most important effect: you have the feeling that the sluggish converter gets a real vitamin injection, the complete “denkmology” when starting up and especially when kickdown is gone. I am very positively surprised. It feels like a tuning – but it is not…. dsu PS: Have the part programmed directly for the W12 engine code BAN6.0 from the manufacturer. Delivery time: 5 days…. PS2: Will now keep an eye on the fuel consumption, because it is supposed to lower…

I changed the brake pads at the front on the weekend. According to Erwin’s instructions. Unlike before, the wear indicator now lights up, or the message Check brake pads sporadically. It doesn’t come in the morning, for example, but in the evening. Or vice versa. Classic of a wobble contact at the connection point? It was a bit strange with the wear indicator anyway. A few months ago, it lit up already, but I measured over 4mm covering and therefore didn’t change it. The display was only rarely on, and then stayed out again and again. I would have assumed that the adjusted wear limit constantly lit, but was also so satisfied. When changing on summer tires 3 weeks ago it was however too little, ok, there were still 2,6mm on the thin outer surface. Inside still over 5 mm. At least before the specified limit of 2 mm. So now I have brand new documents and would like to do without the warnings. Just use Kontakspray, or are there any other tips on what to do? Just mentioned on the edge. I also measured the brake disc, which is still 1.5mm above the wear limit.
