Day Together. Vehicle: 3.0 Diesel from 2006 with 109,000km. Tires: 275 35 20. All chassis parts are unchanged, my car received the TÜV without defects 3 months ago, Edit: also the vehicle was lowered by 16mm Maybe someone could help me here. The situation as follows: Driving to a parking lot. Brakes to vehicle stands still. Steering stroke to the right while in position R is slowly parked backwards. After about half a meter of return travel mi There is a dull, very light blow, as if you were driving over a small stone that breaks under the wheel. I noticed a similar thing a year ago when I was shunting. Recently after a long motorway ride, I parked the car, turned the steering wheel to the left while driving, while there were snarling squeaking noises from the front left. In another post, I reported that it was in front of the wheel. e left clacks and rumbles when bumps such as channel lids, slight tar damage etc. are run over. The damper position S or S2 minimizes the clacking clearly. Who could guess what this can be? Thank you very much for help. Uwe

Hello, I’m Oliver and now also a totally enthusiastic driver and lover of a Phaeton. . 3.0 Diesel 239 hp approx. 209,000 km HU/AU 01/22 However, I have to do something about it. -Injectors out-cleaned – pure (gas odour inside) – Engine,- Solar roof replaced – Fan motor removed, new coals pure (no cooling more) Now I still have loss of power steering oil. Visible in the wheel box of the driver’s side – hope it is possible. Otherwise a dream. Nicely dignified and relaxed driving and enjoying. I hope for nice contacts, conversations, and the help of many experts on Phaeton. Greeting Oliver

Ahoi municipality! In advance: I have been looking for a solution here and at VW Vortex as well as on the Internet – none was found. Should I have missed something, pardon! My problem: Kessy seems dead, car stands far from power sources. Battery in the key works, second key as well. Door remains closed, no reaction of the locking system. Luggage compartment emergency unlocking by manual unlocking is known and also works. Only: how do I get IN the car? There is no one like also There’s nothing behind the handle of the driver’s door in my diva. How, a clueless person asks, has VW imagined the solution to this dilemma? Does someone know in the forum advice? I’m curious about the answers 🙂 It greets, Ronntar

Hello Phaetonauten & Phaetischisten, … Drivers, passengers, connoisseurs, (m/w/d) I wanted to start a little call to see who is still around here from my new area. @FD47 has already outed itself through a statement in another series of articles. It would be great if you could exchange regionally… Workshops, parts, recommendations, news, construction sites, speed cameras (umbr… Räusper!)… I would be very happy about active participation in this thread. nge of course: my postal code would be 74858 … maybe it turns out that one (taking into account data protection) creates a small map. But that is far away future music…

Hello everybody, I’m new here. I might want to get a Phaeton. There are really good offers and for me the best car in terms of price and performance. If you think about what costs today in new VW Golf, then I prefer to grab an older vehicle, which also has everything in it. Well, the maintenance has to be able to afford. What I wanted to ask. Is there the car even without the air suspension? And what would your advice be to buy? Running performance should be with a use I don’t want to exceed the 100,000 KM mark. Budget max. 20,000 crowns. 6 zyl. But could also be that the car is not good for my use. since I drive 25 km gross on the day.

My problem child is a Phaeton V8 first registration 2013, 140TKM. Now my problem. My partner is shopping with the fat one. (Always take the bowl with you when you are on holiday.) When she wants to start again : steering blocked, workshop. As Whats app contact between Egypt and Germany. Ace comes to bring the car home. Since the choice lever can not be moved the next day 2 start with lifting glasses and rollies. Car finally home. From the holiday the matter visited n A little while ago I read in Africa. Error memory by means of VCDS tries to read out but also with light horn switch position I do not come into all ECUs. No cable break of the 3 wires at the steering column. Both batteries full. Both batteries are jammed. And now it is strange. Car Keyless unlocks, radio runs display shows driver door open. Normal door is open. Interior lighting front lights as desired, reading lights do not. On start attempts with key 1 or 2 or Keyless NOTHING. Display no longer shows anything. Carpet is dry. In the change the display sometimes shows: Steering Blocked Whether doors are open, everything is right. Nothing at all. Leave comfort battery on the 30A charger and start battery on the 6A charger tonight. Does anyone have an idea? If everything doesn’t work out. How is the easiest way to deactivate the parking lockThen he goes to Zottel

Hello, my Phaeton, V10 5.0 TDI bj. 2005, makes for a few days a strange noise, apparently from the front left directly under the fender. If you touch the fender from the outside you also notice how it vibrates what is not on the other side. Sometimes it is penetrant loud and unpleasant and sometimes as good as gone. However, even at low speeds below 1500 rpm it is also very quiet to hear. The loudest is actually in the stand. At the motor It’s not because when I start this it takes about 1-2 seconds until the sound starts. If I give gas it gets a bit louder and vice versa and in the stand, e.g. at the traffic light mostly the worst. I was just at VW and they just say it could be everything… I should leave the car there 2 days so I immediately took the escape. I also called Rapacho in NRW, the gentleman on the phone knew what the problem was and meant it would be about 3 hours dau I hope to get help here, or if anyone knows who could help me in the area of Bamberg or Nuremberg. I hope to get help quickly.

Dear friends of the commuting guide, with my well-kept and unproblematic Phaeton the ignition no longer works: -doors and tailgate open and it also locks, -interior light and door display in the cockpit go, -Navi unit lights up, -Zündschloss can be rotated with both keys and it buzzes with the right and left turn, -batteries have 12,2V and 12,9V, -timers do not rotate and without ignition a -reading about OBD is not possible. Neither with the ignition It can still be started with the start button (Keyless-go). There is enough diesel in the tank, it hasn’t rained (controllers down) and I drove it without any problems the day before. Has someone already fixed a advice or such a problem?

Hello dear Phaeton enthusiast! I am proud owner of a 2005 Phaeton V10, which I bought about 2 months ago with 250tkm and since then also more than a thousand km. Driving on long distance is really a pleasure. I bought and built in a new comfort battery a few days after the purchase, because the old deep discharge was and with 3.5V measured voltage was no longer kissed by the charger when driving… Then some things worked, which were previously out of operation (e.g. the el. boot flap). Now I have the problem that I have to have a quiet consumer, so that the comfort battery is flat after 2 days without running engine and the car can only start via the emergency start (key left right turn) . I first started to read here in the forum, because there are some threads exactly on this topic. I then started to pull the fuses of the whole additional consumers gradually to so Unfortunately, so far I have not been successful. I am in the process both at the safety box under the steering wheel, as well as at the box directly at the comfort battery to walk. Is there a third safety box? In the appendix there are two pictures of the safety covers and red circled, which fuses I had pulled so far all (coated consumers are blank fuses, so optional equipment that my Phaeton does not have). About tips, suggestion, hinwe ise what I could still try, I would be very grateful to you. All too often the new AGM battery will not want to participate in the fun…

Moin Moin, I’ve read a lot about Phaeton and iPhone.. and I know it doesn’t work as a phone. But can you not just pair the iPhone as a music player with BT? In my new used Nokia xxx is always searched for.. but I didn’t. In the armrest is a mobile phone holder.. but I didn’t get the handset. But I don’t need that either.. I just want to use Spotify somehow. Is there a way? I’m an iPhone user since 2007 and I don’t want to be a user. change operating system. I am grateful for every tip
