Moin moin, It’s about the following: Here everyone likes to set his Phaeton sightings and send greetings to the driver. Maybe he’s even out of the board and reads it. Suggestion on data protection: don’t give full license plates. What do you think of the idea? I saw 2 Phaeton on the way to a hospital yesterday. One here in Dortmund Hombruch and one on the return trip on the A40 in Bochum direction Dortmund. Greeting Jürgen

I have often mentioned that the RNA810 in the Phaeton is a thorn in my mind. In this thread I will document my project to modernize it. Also, it can be used as a collection of ideas and information. I don’t have much about the project in itself, except a few ideas and basic research. (In addition, I have a project that I have to finish before) If I have more, I update the main post.

Moin. I have a problem again. Don’t come after the faults again like new ones. So since last Friday my disc doesn’t go down at the front left anymore. I thought it was frozen after the laundry but I read something here and it’s probably a well-known problem that the windowHover is jamming. When pressing on the FesterHeber the disc starts, but you notice that it does not move downwards in the area of the mirror triangle. I still hope that the window will only hang through dirt, frost and water, or that the windows will die as often as I have to deal with it. Then I would need a guide here to disassemble the door. If someone has something to hand. Or you can see that. If I still get the window down, there is the possibility to lubricate the drive through the window or you also have to disassemble the door. Greeting Martin

Hello joy have the problem with the heating again or the heating is only lukewarm no matter what I set it did not show warmer. In summer the climate works quite normal, only in winter no warm air. The climate box the motors are all in order.,Only the circulating air flap did not replace engine goes again. But still lukewarm air. The auxiliary heating is not possible either or VCDS does not find it. So probably circuit board defective. I don’t know any more.. Would me look forward to some tips LG.

Dear forum friends, yesterday, after a short distance phase, “Motor disturbance, workshop!” flashed again and again and went on again and again. In addition, the Diesel-Kringel warning light. This morning then only once the message, Diesel Kringel flashes and the exhaust light is on. It is quite normal, not a big power loss. No smoke, no jerking. Tomorrow evening I wanted to surprise my parents and pick them up from the airport, with the new car. That’s about 500 km. The workshops sin d all overcrowded, ATU can still read out the error memory today and then I have to decide whether I’m driving or not. Any opinion on your part? edit: Of course, I had planned to drive him to Lüdinghausen anyway, where he should be taken through (hehe) then, but now is the question, whether I’m going to Hamburg tomorrow or rather leave it.

Hello dear forum, this morning I got into my thickness to drive to work. When the engine started, the following message immediately arrived in the display: “RDKS – defective wheel on board” A look at the infotainment showed me all 5 tyres (incl. spare wheel) with yellow exclamation mark. I first deactivated the tyre pressure control and later switched on again, the error persists. Visual inspection showed no damage or flat tires. Then I am to the tankste I drove and checked the pressures on all the tires –> are OK. Now my questions (before I drive) : – It was relatively cool this morning compared to the last days, the car showed me 7°C. Could it be that the sensors were too cold and first have to warm up a little over the day? – Or are the sensors actually defective? Until yesterday they still worked perfectly, moreover, I am surprised that then directly all tires cause problems. Did you already have m al this problem? Have you had experience with it? Wouldn’t want to thank you for your efforts now already in advance Greeting Krischan483

I was almost hit by the blow, a spot of fire (see picture 1+2) on the sun-believing passenger seat! How could that happen? No one was there, all of a sudden he was there! The purest nightmare!! In the car is not smoked and nevertheless this horror fire stain. My guess, flying ash on a rest area, door open, …!? Anyway, I can’t rip anyone’s head off and the spot has to go away, but how!? Youtube luckily has a solution for almost everything! Quickly the material (picture) 3) for VW sun beige at Ebay for 34,24 € and get to work. First wipe off the leather with the “cleaning gasoline”, then roughen the surface with the included sand pad, then apply the “liquid leather” so often until the surface is smooth. In between, of course, always let dry! If you have applied too much, you can not sand off as usual, but take the “BTA pen” and liquefy the upper layer again. The progress can be made on the pictures 4 bi The results show the last two pictures. The whole process took a good 6 hours, but work is not real and 34 € are not the world either. So I am satisfied with the result and can only recommend it! But nevertheless, the nightmares remain …!

Hello, I’m about to (possibly) have the original rest cushions made by an autosattler. Surprisingly, this is price manageable. Of course, we want to be as close as possible to the (no longer available) original. I found on the internet (or even here on MT) 2-3 pictures of a rest cushion in grey. Interesting would be more pictures – best also how that looks in the vehicle. Does someone have what? If all this works out, I give the Inf If someone wants to have these pillows as well, that would be optimal. Does anyone know if the cushions were always made of the same leather as in the Phaeton on the seats? Or was there something in fabric or velour? Finally, the important question: Are there other interested parties so that I can possibly negotiate a good price?

Dear Phaeton municipality, today was not my day. At first someone drove me in the parking lot of a shopping center with a trailer coupling into my rear bumper and then for whatever reasons the GPS CD of the GP0 was ejected which I did not notice and in search of the insurance card closed the glove compartment again. Result: A Navi CD in 3 parts. Had bought me the version 2015 extra new online around the current date Now it’s broken. On short request from the online retailer I would have to buy a completely new CD, because it is self-inflicted. Does someone have an idea how to get back to the Navi CD for the GP0 without having to buy it again? I have already bought it once before, but this has been broken by the inexplicable ejection behavior of the navigator. I had also not made a legally allowed copy because I believed the CD is safe in the drive. So a trouble today . I am grateful for all suggestions. Greetings to all with an unaccidented Phaeton and with intact Navi CD. capdoc

As described above, my watch turned back exactly at 1st hour. This happened 3 days ago and has remained so until today. Did I get there somewhere?? And where can I put it again, unfortunately found nothing. MfG Fabian
