Hello dear forists, no I don’t mean myself, but rather the Phaeton (V6 BJ 2014, 155 TKM, full, running like lubricated). Since my neighboured screwdriver unfortunately now goes into the well-deserved pension, I am looking for a new (I prefer to write: competent and friendly) workshop: IN SCOPE: – TÜV 05/22 – Check brakes – Change windscreen wipers – Change tires incl. summer flaps on the aluminum rims – possibly change climate filters. NOT IN SCOPE: – Schischi – Check booklet (needs I don’t, but I wouldn’t mind either) – unfriendly misanthropes and abzocker It’s basically only about the basics–> Does anyone have a tip which workshop is recommended in western Berlin or eastern Havelland for this? Thank you and a nice weekend Ernst

Hello friends, I think we all know what we have at Phaeton! A list of unmistakable phaeton-typical equipment highlights that make the driving experience so distinctive in the overall artwork would probably make a thick waltz and yet you must have driven it and experienced it in order to actually be able to talk with it. Nevertheless, there are a few little things that would have stood well with the GP4 and not belong in the category: land of unrealistic dreaming. So start with this I would like to see the list of features that would have been good for the GP4: – Illuminated seat knobs and memory buttons for the 18-way seats at the bottom of the seats. – The buttons that are positioned on the left and right of the navigator (after they were pressed) give a strange dull haptic feedback. It would be desirable to have a ratcheted, spring-mounted haptic and a small LED band under each button that lights up when calling the button. – The button for the window lifter would have at the front (where the index finger presses on it) a metal attachment not damaged. – The rotary buttons of the climate automatic and from the radio I would have taken from the GP 3 and not changed.

Hello together, many months I have read here silently. After a short detour to the purchase consultation it was quickly clear that it should become a Phaeton. Planned was actually a sporty flicker, but that is another story.. My wish was a well-equipped car with light leather and dark wood / piano varnish. So for weeks the usual portals were searched. And all of a sudden he stood there: Mazeppa Grey Mettalic, leather St. Tropez, roof sky in bright Alcant Ara and dark wood. EZ 07/2015, 87t km, one year extended functional warranty. After a short phone call to the condition / history I spontaneously let myself be carried away to the purchase without having seen the car live. A few weeks later I picked him up in Vilsbiburg. Meanwhile the speedo shows 95t km and I can describe my first impressions: driving comfort and noise level are top, processing and quality impression for age and mileage very good. So so far everything good Vie Le Greetings from Franken Johannes

Hello together, with my Phaeton the driver side window does not sit quite straight. I would like to fix this now, if possible: Symptoms: – If you drive up the window, first comes the stop at the mirror triangle. The other side of the window then drives up afterwards 0.5-1cm. – thus I have the feeling, as if something is always pulling away and the window in this last step of closing the rear half of the window by a seal release. You can also It sounds strange, but it’s like that. If I drive the disc slightly downwards (without it moving out of the fit and creating a gap), the car is quieter. If it’s at the top, it’s easy to sizzle out of the door plate. Only to hear if you know the car and have made an A/B comparison with the passenger side. So really little, but so that it bothers me. My plan: – since I assume that the S The wind noise does not come from door seal, mirror triangle or shaft strip. Checked with adhesive tape complete door and renewed seal in mirrordreick. However, this is another story question: – can I simply remove the door board and loosen it at the rear holder of the side panel and “lift” the disc a few millimeters? is there the possibility of a Justage in the area of less millimeters? If so, how about the official procedure here? Thanks in advance, Chris

Hello, I have been the owner of a beautiful Phaeton for a few weeks with good equipment. From the driving feeling a beautiful car. Unfortunately, the bushing of some previous owners has to be removed until it is really good again. Now to my problem. During the test drive everything was great and the car did not show any faults. When I then picked it up he displayed in the speedometer, cornering light without function, error level control workshop look up and check lighting. ann read out and sieves there: Encoder for vehicle level rear Right electrical fault in the circuit (00775) Error cannot of course be easily deleted. I then got a sensor and installed. Error persists. Sensors replaced afterwards. No matter which sensor I connect where, the error always remains back right. Headlights drive neither up/down nor right/left when switching on However, the chassis can be handled in height and does not hang anywhere. I think it’s funny. Maybe someone had such a problem and remember what it was about? Can you measure the cables somehow? So that I could rule out a cable break or at least know where to look for one would be grateful for every tip, because I’m so slow I’m helpless. Thank you in advance.

Hello I have unfortunately the following problem with my phaeton 3.0tdi Year of construction 2011 He went out in the middle of the ride and couldn’t get started. I had it towed and read out, error was P0087 fuel distribution line/system pressure too low I looked for the pump relays but I can’t find them where they were already described in another thread. If I cross the pumps externally briefly it runs and then sporadically goes out sometime. This happens sometimes after 3 km and sometimes only after 50km I also tried different tank filling quantities without getting a hint. I hope one can help me here Greeting Raphael

Hello Phaeton municipality. My Phaeton gp3 Bj 11, 3.0 tdi no Keyles Go power problems. The starter battery is not charged, so new battery worry the battery is 6 weeks old, against the same game Holds about a week and I have to charge it from the outside. Voltmeter shows whether engine is on or not at the starter battery about 12.9 volts on. At the comfort battery at running engines about 14 , 5 . At the plus pole in the wire harness engine compartment at the front right , I get on the left side harness without pimples with running motor 14.5 volts which is also mounted to my knowledge on the alternator. The right cable strand with pimples is mounted on the starter also 12.9 volt hedgehog whether the car is running or not. What do you think could be the error? Did any of you have the same problem?

Hello municipality, if the distance warning warns (what else should he do :-)) then I have a funny noise from the dashboard from time to time, similar to when you hit a book. It also reminds of a pumping noise. I have the same – also from time to time – when I wear the ACC and the car slows down. Then it is in fact rather in knocking or pumping. But starting from the same place of the dashboard. I can remember that a user (I believe Zottel125) meant, so a sound could be any part of the braking system (I didn’t notice which one) and that he’s seen the thing that breaks this part before. Question: Is that so normal? Or off to the service? VG

Hello, is actually not a Phaeton question, but there is no Bentley forum here and the two share the technology… I wanted to know how a flying track is classified as an insurance technical – but that is (for me amazing) not so easy. Practically in all insurance portals I can’t even select Bentley as a mark (not to mention a particular model). At VW you can choose Bentley, but it fails on the model. Does anyone have any idea, welc he type class has such a flying track? Or does it evade the type class system? How do you insure that? MfG
