Frank from Nuremberg says hello, am newcomer here and have promt ask to Phaeton. Maybe someone can help…. I’ve had a Phaeton for 1.5 years, 2009. 3.0TDI (240ps) Now he’s ticking. At the center console the radio, Navi. However, not the display on the right and left for the heating/temperature setting. Strangely enough, the heating works. Only I can’t set it. I changed the battery on the left for a new one. The starter battery has 13.5 volts. The joke is that . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Hello After a long wait I finally bought my dream car Phaeton V6 TDI BJ 08/2013 with 131.000km Unfortunately all the doors below the door rail have received rust pimples therefore the question is worth it to VW ? I own the car now 2 weeks and have some questions to you What do you say about the kilometers ? For the V6 nevertheless no problem or ? Furthermore, the air suspension and gearbox make me worry about these are robust ? (experiences) What do I have to pay attention to ?(Tip) s) Last maintenance at 126.000 from a master workshop and 2 entries from VW He always stands in a heated garage and when I drive him I never kick him and always ride him gently. He drives himself as if he came fresh out of the glass manufactory Thanks in advance for your help and tips

Hello, today I put my bag in the trunk and pressed the button to close. Rear flap is closing and the metal flap of the bag slips between the lid and body. The lock is snapped but of course not in the counterpart. I then gently lifted up the lid and tried to open the lock, but unfortunately did not go. Then I tried with the key, that worked. But in the AI is indicated, boot lid not closed. Jetz It can’t be opened with the button in the door or on the pushbutton of the VW emblem, you can hear the moter and the lid jumps on but no more happens. The closing by the button in the lid doesn’t work either, you just hear the engine work. What do I have to do to fix this? Thank you very much Matthias

Hi Leutz I am pleased to inform you that my Phaeton doesn’t bring a single error message anymore. Everything is in perfect order and it runs like… an almost new Phaeton. Now to the worse news… Yesterday a Corba 11 film went off before me… An Opel Zafira wanted to overtake an Opel Astra rammed. The Zafira got into a spin and there was my Phaeton between him and guardrail. The result :http://files.designer.hoststar.ch/hoststar1326/image/img_0173a.jpghttp://files.desi gner.hoststar.ch/hoststar1326/image/img_0174.jpg What do you think about costs in approximate estimation? I was not responsible for the insurance of the Zafira driver and the insurance of the Zafira driver takes care of the costs. I am concerned about whether I have to look around for another Phaeton or whether the insurance is due for a repair. What I really have to write to the Phaeton… from the impact we really didn’t notice anything. My son even asked me if we were cobbled or not … from the safety aspect… really top! Greetz F E R R R I

Hello, was today because of my heater, which no longer reacts to the remote control, in the workshop and had error memory read out and deleted (was note here in the forum). There diagnosis: the remote control has to be re-learned due to data loss. Can someone here explain to me what this means and especially how something like this can happen? They said that this can only be done with VW. I very reluctantly go there, because there always absurd repair orgies spla Is there an alternative? Is such a re-learning to pay? Heating itself works directly without any problems when operating in the vehicle. Thank you for your help!

Hello, I drive a 3l diesel, built in 12/2007, current mileage close to 130000. For some time now, when giving more gas, a howling / whistle noise occurs, which then completely disappears with subsequent even rotational number. I can’t detect a power loss – even when giving more gas. The VW workshop has not been able to determine the cause so far, excludes as a cause the turbocharger and thinks it can be the belt (?) of the alternator Is the car of one of you already comparable or has an idea what might be the cause here? Best regards and thanks in advance Jo

Moin Together, my tires – stored at the dealer – were stolen. The replacement is causing me to break my head – the wheels Dynamic no longer exist – and the tire Dunlop, which I had on it also not like (was very quiet and good – had still 7mm after two winters!). I don’t like the offered complete sets with Pirelli! Had 235er 18 inches on it – Are there tips for a new purchase – Thanks and greeting from the north! By the way, according to the car dealer’s insurance he (Allianz) take over my partial cascade (DEVK) the damage, the car dealership is then nice and takes over the SB (150) – according to the alliance representative. But then I should also order the tires there again….

Hello, I did a car scan on my dick today by VCDS. The result is: – The car has been standing for a long time (approx. 4 weeks.). During this time the trunk has been opened, closed, etc. Maybe the battery is simply weak? Corroded ground points? Lose plug on the battery? What could this trigger? – What does my car mean? – I hope that I don’t have to disassemble the center console in order to switch the selector lever? u swap. What can you tell me about the error codes? Thank you, mfG Alex edit: I deleted all the error codes once, let’s see which ones will come back ….. and which ones are only “slaughter”.

Good day. I stood yesterday with my 20mm track extension from SCC at the TÜV. Unfortunately the registration failed because a maximum axle load is exceeded in the report. Technically this is indeed absolute non-sense, but it is now in the report so and it is not registered for this reason. Now I drive 9×20 ET40 rims with 275 tyres. Can someone please recommend me a manufacturer, which I then also get registered? I already have a little in the intern et wanted, but somehow I don’t find a suitable report. VG Olli

… or should the blue bar symbolise an imaginary sky? Good morning first of all, I noticed yesterday for the first time this blue bar in the Navi. Meaningfully, it appears only in 3D display. I can’t remember having seen it before. I am thinking of a display error, which must be to search software side, because the screen otherwise works completely without error. The blue bar really only appears in the 3D display. For this theory, the fact that the beam appears sowhl in the large view as well as in the small representation to scale. Please do not fall over me, if it should actually be so. Thank you already. Greeting Max
