  • Lock spins through at the trunk

    Hello everyone. I’m still new here and I know that there are already a lot of posts on the topic of trunk. But I don’t find anything about my problem. I’m sorry. The following problem: My trunk only goes up over the notes in the emblem. But since yesterday the key just freaks me out and I can’t open the trunk anymore. What do I do now?

  • Acoustic feedback Central locking

    Moin Leutz and Happy Easter for now, someone from you has a tip, where I find a tip for acoustic feedback when closing the vehicle? Here you can not make such a thing public, we are after all all all good subjects here, which of course ALWAYS adhere to ALL applicable rules … Therefore I ask in the sense of secrecy to pass all suggestions ONLY by PN to me, in the hope that PN is also P… Thank you for the support ng Ralle

  • Phaeton 5-seater Lang, question about the place in the rear

    Hello dear Phaeton driver, I have a rare and quite simple problem, but that cannot be answered by research. My family situation consists of woman, 1x bengel 16 years, 1x princess 3 years, 1x princess 1 year. Currently I drive a 2010 A6 Avant and since the installation of the second child seat 1x bengel no longer fits into the rear center between the two child seats – with the baby shell it was still possible. I need ergo a new vehicle. If you put the children’s seats on the outer seats by Isofix, you get the slim bean pressed into the middle in a reasonable way? Maybe one of you could go into the middle and see if the Isofix points are still far enough away? Jaaa is not all scientific but what do you do? I will hardly find a dealer who can do this to me. I need advice. Thank you and happy Easter!

  • Replacement front panel GP3 wavy (optical distortions)

    Dear Phaetonauten Now it got my GP3: A stonefall on a motorway construction site required the replacement of the windshield. From other contributions I knew that the availability of WSS was not always guaranteed. All the more pleased I was about the announcement of my friend that a disc was available in Switzerland. So far so good. Also the replacement of the WSS was professional: no traces on the interior, only on the VIN-neck one saw that the new disc et The first windshield had to be returned before installation due to transport damage. The second windshield was successfully installed. On the way home, however, I noticed optical distortions, which were unacceptable. The waves, which stretched both on the driver’s side against the middle of the windshield over the entire height and a width of approx. 20cm each, made cornering a nightmare. The second replacement of the WSS took place last week, after there were no impairments on the replacement disc in its detachable condition. After the installation, however, the disillusionment occurred: This WSS too, as the workshop manager informed me, has unacceptable distortions. No further disc could be purchased until Friday. I will be informed next week about how it would continue to work. My question: Are quality problems with GP3 spare windshields known? After my decryption, the first replacement (see picture) is production from June 2020 (or maybe 2010?). Saint-Gobain can do better, she proved with the discs on my GP0 and the original disk of the GP3 (see picture). I look forward to your answers and greet you from Central Switzerland CH_V8

  • No gear indicator in instrument cluster, gearbox Complete yellow, Tiptronic gear set defective

    Good evening from the far north, for about a week now my Tiptronic at the switching set is no longer going. (speed indicator completely yellow with insert of D) I have now provided for used replacement and unfortunately not the actual switching sets board of course but the boards that sit over it, aperture 3D0 713 109 B from 2009 GP2. My question can now be solved by manually inserting the part switching sets betaetung 3D0 713 633 A, desw Whether I can take over the switching cover from the GP2 (has a Kessy Start/Stop switch) so far, apart from the start/stop, of course, in my GP1.5 EZ05/2008. Error about defective Tiptronic is also stored in the STG. I wish you a nice evening.

  • Door does not open

    Good day, I have the following problem: The door on the back right can neither be opened from the outside nor from the inside. Door locking from the inside (e.g. from the driver’s door) goes to the other three doors, at the affected door on the back right the “key symbol” does not even turn yellow. If you activate the child safety button on the driver’s door, the corresponding button “yellow”. So think that the child safety device is in order, right? If you press the central locking device you can hear a zw click once, so I think it’s not the electronics, right? Can you give me a hint about what it might be? Thank you very much! Stefan

  • Phaeton Winter Festival

    In 2 weeks my Phaeton will go into hibernation. Is now registered for season because it is too bad for the WINTER. Now I wanted to ask if I have to pay attention to what important? I want to buy next week 2 battery maintenance equipment to charge the starter batterie and comfort battery. Where are the batteries sitting and is there a certain order to attach them? Do I have to pay attention to something else? In the new year I want to do inspection and check the gas system Don’t make any sense of it before, right? Planned 12000km is then service where I now have 108000 and the 2 years are only 07/2017 rum. I would be happy about every tip.

  • Door rust: ICh believe now I got caught too

    Hello, at my GP0 3.0 Bj 11/07, when changing tyres, I discovered an approximately fingernail-sized spot above the decorative strip on the passenger door, where the paint is pockennarbig. This seems to be the only affected spot so far. In 2000 km an inspection is due 85,000. What options do make sense? I don’t like co-paintings, from what size VW accepts a complete painting of the door? What is it generally with culantness in this problem and how long-lasting are the suggested solutions? Thank you for your feedback Moseltaler
