Today I had the opportunity to chat with the chauffeur of a Minister of State (S-Class and A 8 in the fleet). My question, which of the big three Phaeton – S-Class and A 8 – he preferred or considered the best car, came the prompt answer with throwing away hand movement: “So you can forget the Phaeton completely. For the S-Class I feel too old. Therefore I drive A 8”. It is frustrating that the quality of our car is not appreciated especially with those who have the comparison. When I was able to test all three vehicles at the IAA before I bought it, the decision was made within a very short time. The processing in the A 8 alone is far from the perfection of the Phaeton. The driving behaviour of the S-Class is not to be compared with the comfort of the Phaeton.

ADR ́ ́ ́ Sensor smears ́`
With this display in the display, the system is annoying after about 10 to 20 minutes drive and falls off. But, only on the day. At night there is no propeller. I cleaned the sensor and environment behind the cover. Elktric contact interrupting is probably not possible, because at night everything is ok. Oh yes, there is something else. The cover in front of the sensor has been renewed (GP0). Old was scratched. That guaranteed me all this is fitting, because of mm-wave permeability. What is going on? Is there a software that needs to be reloaded? I am grateful for every tip. I have no desire to use the system only at night. F.G. Manu

Brand new divas from VW in the scrap press.?????????
Hello together, I was with a few days ago and had picked up the wheels for my sold golf that were still stored there. since actually said to me, you know, the VW brand-new divas that stood on a pile have put into the scrap press. So that you are not too cheaply rammed. Before of course some things were expanded. I then gave him only unbelievably the hand and wished him a nice day with his statement. Did I stand here in front of Baron von Münchhausen. At every step I made to my thick I twitched together and imagined how it crunches when the diva is crushed.

I did it.
After a year of trial rides and a near purchase of a blender at the (criminal) friendly VW dealer I have it now in the garage. And that’s from private bought, an 11/2006er 3.0 TDI with stand-up heating, sliding roof and seat ventilation in black. Black leather, memory, massage and dark wood….accident-free and almost makelos. (I’ll find one or the other with the time) I would like to report here more often in the next time to the one or the other. Following things are now urgently up: A) I need a way to phone, in the middle shelf is an adapter for a mobile phone unknown to me (I type on Nokia, but don’t know which). With iPhone it seems to give no way of connection and Bluetooth also does not seem to be with it. So I will probably get a second SIM and the matching Nokia (how do I get out which fits?) Ebayen. B) Two new 19 inches 255-40 tires are due shortly, which have the best performance to transport to the Dürlicher?

My BC lies about consumption like Münchhausen
Hello, dears, actually the consumption of my Phaeton is a whirlwind.Did I know what I bought there, namely a beautiful, heavy car with proper steam under the boiler. Unfortunately a lot of city, sene home is without a doubt the AB( man, is the P. there a force…!). But sometimes I am a cumin knetter(is the expression familiar?) and annoy me about small things, like e.g. about my BC with the consumption data. From the beginning, therefore for a good five months, the BC always shows a between 10 and 15% lower consumption, than when refueling actually “gets in”.Difference was also sometimes against 20%. In winter I still had understanding. Stand and seat heating more often on, the BC can not really measure. The BC of our Audis, respectively.now Cross Polo of my Holden, have the consumption always up to 0.2 to max. 0.4 liters, or in other words with a deviation clearly below 5%. Also in winter! Does anyone of you have an idea why I can’t give in this regard to the consumption of b.

Refrigerant loss – sporadic
Moin together. Today, the climate really annoyed me. With 4 men from Frankfurt to Hanover and the climate doesn’t do. For this, the fan constantly blew at full power in order to fight against the sun at all. Before that, I read out the fault memory and there was exactly one error in it: Refrigerant loss – sporadically My research shows so far, that it can be that the pressure sensor (sporadic) has failed (wire? Sensor itself?) and therefore the compressor no longer switched on until the error is deleted. Now, however, I shrug back to just delete the error. I still have a guarantee… Tips from the experts? Otherwise, tomorrow morning I sit on the seller’s lap Edith: more did not give me the SuFu, except that apparently the amount of coolant can be a bit too low.

Old and new tyres on one axis – problems?
Even in order to avoid the slightly humiliating hint “Gucke du Sufu!”, I looked around here and on the whole web. But also the local thread to Abrollradius/Mittedifferential did not really help me. What is it about? I drove into the left rear tyres (V6 TDI) a nail or something. One sees the thing on the tread silvery shine. The tire loses within 24 hours 1,9 bar. The tread depth of the tires is between 4 and 5 mm. A new tire has, as far as I know, 7 mm. This means that the wheel radius on the left and right is different if I only renew to the left. Whether this means something, and if so what, one was not quite in agreement at the time in the above-mentioned thread. Is there any further findings by now?

Phaeton V6 TDI without equipment
Hello Phaeton friends, after many years still Phaeton enthusiast, but a V6 petrol engine is not in question after extensive test drive, I am now faced with the decision to take a V6 TDI. Important to me at a Phaeton are above all the safety, the driving comfort as well as the pull-through power of the engine. Less important to me are the more elaborate and more vulnerable comfort / luxury details like 18 path adjustment, el. tailgate, dynaudio, etc. So for me also a Phaeton with less equipment comes into question. Now to my question: What would you pay for the following, almost equipment-free Phaeton? Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI EZL June 2006 Running power 48,000 KM 2. Hand (first VW / then well-known vehicles) Color: Uni Schwarz Equipment: – No leather (substance black) – No Navi – Xenon – Seat Heating – Park Distance Control – Otherwise the standard equipment Price would be worth 19,000 KM.

Once in a while, “freeze” on the track?
It’s basically not the same thing as the DPF’s free-burning, but rather the longer full-gas stages. A very, very distant acquaintance of me was with the top speed of his old 190E-Benz, which is actually only moved in the 5km short-range traffic. not quite satisfied anymore and wanted to do something. Now you have to know to the guy that he is quite asslig and always with bomber jacket, greasy hair and nem firmly grown measurekrug run around the right hand… BUT when it comes to cars, the guy is an absolute appearance. He disassembles an Audi R8 and builds it up again and for some reason everything that the guy reaches, afterwards runs better than before. So. Just the guy (spitzname “the lawyer” decided to correct for him now the insufficient maximum speed of 175km/h ltt Tacho. So he drove his tank empty again, filled up with some premium sprite, put the alarm at 02:00 o’clock on Monday in the morning, went to the A8 board and set the line with 190 meters and said the range again.

Satisfaction and reliability
Hi, I have registered here in the forum today, as I am close to buying a PHAETON 3.0 V6 tdi EZ 10/07, 58000 km. From the VW dealer for 26900 EURO. Among other things with sliding roof, heater, Omanyt 275/40 R 19 rims (which make me a little bit afraid) plus winter bikes inspiration, servo closure tailgate, Xenon, Navi, etc.. The car is checked out as usual in Dresden and the 60000 km inspection is also carried out plus AU and TÜV new. And 1 year used car warranty. I think the price is in order, or ? However, I have read here in the forum some very negative reports about defects, high spare parts prices, dissatisfied owners etc, that I am not sure if I buy it now. But I know from experience, that in a forum the dissatisfied write something. Those who are satisfied, hardly anything to report there. Therefore, I am not sure if I buy it to me. But I know from experience, that in a forum I am rather happy to write something.
