It’s incredible, but VW’s promise to deliver spare parts for the Phaeton in the long term is not fulfilled. My Phaeton 4.2 V8 has been in the workshop for 6 months: 2003–2016 due to a defective servo pump (Phaeton 3D 3D0422154H VW Phaeton (Type:3D)). VW can no longer supply the spare part and the manufacturer says that the production is stopped and that it has no parts in stock. Only because of this missing spare part is the otherwise all-round perfect car. In the workshop. Since I am dependent on a vehicle for work, I have to lease a new car. However, I can neither drive the Phaeton nor sell it, because it is simply not ready to drive. How can this be done? My question in this round: who can help me? Of course, I would also be used with a used part or the pump of a third-party manufacturer. I would be happy about any helpful answer or hint. Desperate, claus.

I think it makes sense to switch between summer and winter bikes. But think about it right now, instead of real winter tires to raise Michelin Crossclimate 2 all-year tires. But keep changing with the 19 ́ summer bikes. Because here on the Rhine are snow and frost real rarity. But also want to be safe, I should still have to drive over land in winter. (According to the test, the Michelin Crossclimate 2 on snow should still be at the level of good winter tires and ha There are often days between October and Easter with 20 degrees to 30 degrees, then dry days around the zero point again. For this range neither winter nor summer tires are optimal. Drive at present around 12tkm a year, 60% expressway, each 20% highway and city traffic. What do you think about it?

Hello everyone. I would be interested if there is a tuning possibility for the W12 year 2007 450hp ? So I mean chiptuning. No big modifications or other exhaust system. I once regoogelled but not really found something. Believe that it is more from the engine than what it has. It twitches so wonderfully loosely but its weight of over 2 tons is already noticeable. I love the original and therefore I don’t want to build anything that would change it visually. and it must of course be allowed roads. If someone has a tip I would be very grateful. Greetings to all

To the technicians: Since some people with electronic knowledge move in the forum, some things to browse. Of course, the project continues to slow down in the summer, the garden and the golf course call. All information collected from different sources and determined by own experiments and analyses. During the day disassembled and drawn the evening before the sight. For my test station I needed plugs and sockets of different designs that hardly get individually n let alone to pay. So briefly decidedly bought a 40kg harness from the butcher (without the STG, which are bought extra) and analyzed before disassembly (with my docus and a few photos). Considering that each harness was individually manufactured, for each vehicle depending on the equipment…. that can be achieved without error is also not entirely without! The harness is drawn as it is built in the vehicle, so it becomes easier to locate the individual connectors The name of the plug forms and the colors of the individual strippings are also helpful in the assignment. (Because only one PDF file can be attached, the schematic in the next post) Greeting Günther

Hello all, I have my VW Phaeton now about 4 weeks and actually only the problem with the tailgate, which seems to have no solution so far. I have a problem with the hydraulic rear flap control, of which I have not read here – despite many posts – so yet.Description of error: Previously said: it doesn’t matter if I press the FFB, the button in the interior or the micro switch in the VW emblem. When pressing the emblem again, it closes completely again. Only now, i.e. after three times the pulse, it opens normally.In the display display the KLAPPE ALS OPENS is displayed. Now I can close and reopen as often as I want. The flap works faultless. However, if I wait a few minutes, close the vehicle, start the same game: Impulse: Shutter just jumps out of the lock (that’s only a few centimeters. l now manually lift) –> repulsion: flap closes completely –> third impulse: flap opens normally and can also be closed normally. I have already read out errors, tried a new flap lock and a rotary angle sensor – no change in symptoms. The battery certainly has enough juice. I would like to know here if maybe one of you had this problem or has an idea to remedy it. I am irritated by this regularity. I also nction 100 times in a row… wait three to five minutes, the car seems to have “forgotten”. Thank you for the assistance offers Peter

Hello first of all, I am completely new here and my Phaeton (Bj 2011, 6 Zyl. Diesel) comes Monday. How exciting! I have a question to the forum. Can one actually upgrade the traffic sign recognition with the existing Navi RNS 810, with camera (distance control, track assistant etc)? Find nothing in the forum – thank you. Almusaba

Hello guys, An acquaintance has problems with his Phaeton 3D 3.0 TDI. Doesn’t know exactly which year of construction that was 2006 or 2008. Everything works as far as normal only some things are not available: – Navi, DSP, phone and further are described as not available when you press the button on the Navi. -Navi CD can not be removed from the drive but can also be a broken eject button. -Radio runs but no sound. The following errors according to VCDS available: Address 19: Diagnosis interface: 01305 Databus Infotainment -> 014 Defect 01044 Control unit incorrectly coded -> 000 – – – 00470 Group Databus Comfort in single wire -> 011 Interruption The same errors are also shown under the address 17: Control panel insert. ————————————————————— Address 08: Climate/Heating plate. 00462 Control unit for seat adjustment with memory, rear. No signal/communication However, he has no seat adjustment in the back? dio, Navi etc appear under VCDS as not reachable. He bought the car with the problem.. Also knew about it, but would like to fix it now. Do you know where to start looking? Are there any problems? Greetings

Hello, I bought and inserted the DVD V16. The RNS810 shows the progress of the copy process via the ejection button, this morning after about 40 minutes the progress bar was about 60%. If you then switch off the Phaeton, and after a short time again, then the copy process starts at the place as before. Then (at about 65%) I had to park the car for a longer appointment… If I now put the new DVD in and the ejection button press to display the copy progress, only the DVD is ejected. Where can I now check the status of the Navi version or how can the copy process be started manually? Can’t be finished. Thanks in advance.

Hello! I’ve become aware of the original VW LED license plate lighting while browsing the Internet. It has parts No. 1K8 943 021 C and is described on the Internet as partly suitable for the Phaeton. Does anyone have experience with these original parts? Do they fit? Do they work without an error message? VG Olli

Hello, I’m currently driving the current Passat as a Limo (built in 05/2012) and I’m already looking for my next car for the next 6-12 months. The Phaeton is basically also interesting because of the 1%-leasing. I also like its understatement. Has anyone in the Phaeton already been able to gain long-term experience with the Dynaudio set? I found little helpful about the search function. background: I also have a Dynaudio set with 10 speakers in the passat. That sounds just bad – for the name Dynaudio and its quality standards. The individual chassis already have a very good quality, but they absolutely don’t fit together with the RNS315 there and the doors of the passat. Want to mean: Even with slightly increased room volume, the door panel starts to scrape and the sound suffers strongly from hissing in vocals / audio books. I have a cheap BOSE set in my second car. That sounds much better than the Dynaudio set in the passat – even if the individual chassis is not so good at all. For that they are properly tuned to the car. I don’t want to talk about the harman/kardon set in a BMW 3 Series E91. For me, that sounds even better than the Dynaudio in the passat or the kardon set in a BMW 3 Series E91. For me, that sounds better than the Dynaudio in the passat or The BOSE set in my Cadillac. By the way, I hear almost everything except hip hop, heavy metal and techno. Most of the time it goes towards unplugged or singer/songwriter. Long posting, short meaning: What about the Dynaudio set in Phaeton?
