Category: VW Phaeton Forum

Dear Forum Fellows, Since the purchase of my Phaeton V10 2012, I have problems with the comfort battery, which is constantly unloading. Thanks to the forum I have solved some errors and consumer sources myself, a visit to RAPACHO 2016 gave me the certainty that my mass points are OK, because Zottel has checked them all. Since the instructions for the comfort battery change is available, I changed them myself recently and hung them to a C-teck – just like here imm I can now see that the car has a “BLUBB-BLOBB noise” in its stand. You can hear it very clearly – even my wife has made me aware of it. I clearly locate the noise under the middle wiper fixation. The “BLUBB-BLOBB” can also be heard, as a slight vibration of hitting passes through the body (… very easy to feel if you have a finger on the S I think this error has always “sucked away” my battery quite simply before I could even identify it. So – now it’s the specialists: what can it be… ? It sounds to me like a flap to which somehow can’t close and always reopens and drives … . MfG

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I might be able to give one an idea of how I can install a hands-free system. Where I also want to play music via smartphone. Company Kufatec or yet use original VW components.. Of course, I don’t want to install an additional micro on the matter.. Thank you ..

Hello everyone, I would like to introduce myself here briefly with my Phaeton. My name is Benny, I am 37 years old and owner of a Phaeton 3.0Tdi Bj 2013. It is a 4 seater with a long wheelbase, only one previous owner and I bought it from a VW dealer. I have driven it since early 2018 and have already 70,000km with it, 99,9% I drove from it myself, but I have already enjoyed the advantages of the rear seats. I had to finally check whether there were all I have always noticed Phaetons in everyday life and since I have been busy with the sporty cars a little longer, my last cars were RS4B5, RS6 C6 Limo, R8… I wanted to finally have a Phaeton myself. I am very satisfied and happy with it. He has everything I need for life. I was only on a Phaeton meeting in Dresden at the Glass Manufactory and would be happy to be able to experience a few more and of course To make new acquaintances. To a time, to Corona… Sincerely Benny

Hello, recently I also have a “thickness”. It has 1000+1 extras, but in terms of phone it is underexposed. That didn’t bother me when buying, because the stuff after 4 years is no longer up to date and I hardly ever phone in the car. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa It is very well shielded to the outside, which is D: correct and reduces the reception. Now good advice is asked. I strongly assume that an antenna cable could be plugged in in the center console, where the phone is normally wise? Does anyone have experience with inductive antennas or other transmitters, which can be placed from the inside, as inconspicuously as possible? I would hate to install a window outer antenna. For the time being, the vehicle is out of the question 😉 Does someone in the forum have a tip for me on how to solve the problem?

Moin together, just stumbled over it at youtube:http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0VH1PrTtq6E Are you familiar with the hobbyist or even reads with him here? Weather report in the video shows Geislingen / Steige, there is no more information in the video … Greeting Andreas, who finds something so fascinating

Can anyone tell me if there is an official Volkswagen bulletin requiring the Phaeton to remove the procedures of the VW dealer’s assembly, remove the rubber stoppers from the plenum and cut off the processes of the roof? Or is this done unofficially to prevent damage caused by flooding in the rain? I have now tried to talk myself out of it and my insurance policy by claiming that it is a maintenance residue, we nn the Phaeton has not been modified. Who can help me get an answer to it? Thank you in advance!

Hello together, unfortunately for some time now have a problem with my darling, which I can not quite assign. It is extremely like this. In normal driving everything is normal. Also on the driving behavior has changed nothing. Currently 18 inch winter bikes still mounted. But with unevenness I hear under the car a very loud poltern, resp. beat. Sounds like metal on metal. Very dull. So no heat protection sheet or something light. Since I already much of the chassis pole I have of course tried all the chassis options. This did not result in any change. The noise also arises rather at the height, under the rear seat, so I would almost exclude it. Maybe someone had the same problem or are there experience values here? It is about a GP0 with now 182000km. For advice I would be grateful. Greeting Lars

Moin, on the subject I have hopefully put together the following right up to now: 1. Front axle gearbox on the front axle, directly connected to the engine and the transmission. • Recommended oil: SAE 75W-90 GL-5 Gear oil oil number ??? Screws (filling + outlet) ??? 2. Rear axle gearbox on the rear axle, transfers the force to the rear wheels. • Recommended oil: SAE 75W-90 GL-5 Gear oil oil number G 055 190 A2 ? Screws (fill + outlet) 2x N 100 371 06 (M22x1.5) ? At the HA there are three Versions with different filling quantities. OAR (0.9 L), 01R (1.5 L) and O8Y (1.1L) 3. Distribution gearbox The distribution gearbox (middle differential) virtually extends the transmission Recommended oil: ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) Oil number VW G 052 162 A2 ? or ? VW G 052 145 S2 ? Screws (Infill+Ablass) 2x 018 321 377B with sealing ring ? that would then be the same as driving the axle drives with the gear oil tray DIY – approx. 20°C warm. – First, the filling screw is to be solved, then the draining screw is to be removed. sschraube. – Fill it up until it runs out at the edge of the filling screw. – Fill the wagon horizontally, 5 min, test drive with old screw, final check and new screw(s) pure. And now it is unclear to me: – the ET number of the screws are simply not safe to get out – where are these screws at the VA and in the middle, I can not find them, despite glasses 😉 – which oil comes now exactly into the axle gearbox? To supplement, correct etc. I would be grateful to you. Erwin, Instructions etc. rei only up to the point “Check oil level” Greeting Werner

Dear “Phaetonasten” today I wanted to order the winter tyres for my V6 TDI (long) really fast. They come on the rims bought with the vehicle (summer tyres down). Therefore I need the so-called size. With my predecessor (GP 0 from 2006) I did not have bad experiences with the Pirelli Sottozero – so why not a Pirelli again? Because there is no one in the size 🙁 At all the selection in this size is limited. So at the end: Conti WinterContact TS 850 P (SUV)* Dunlop WinterSport 5 Nokian WR A4 and Vredestein Quatrac 3 (SUV)* *I’m never on the road in my own way. When I drive I don’t drink alcohol! The dealer does not want to give a clear recommendation, only he doesn’t see any special advantages in Conti or Dunlop. Between the lines one hears that he would take the Nokian, but also Vredestein doesn’t despise – a real help stop… I’m now standing in front of the door with the winter. Whether the rate costs 160 euros more or less at the end would not matter to me if I were to use 3 to 4 winters. In the end, I probably have more peace and comfort (please do not use shark teeth) than on extreme sporting properties. Can you help me further? VG Karl-Heinz
