Hello like-minded people. In July, after some searching, I enjoyed a specimen which was already extremely close to my requirements. It is a GP3 with approx. 126’km. I also like to drive the car very much. Wouldn’t like to get out of the car at all. But well… there’s also a life outside of these rolling juices. Is really a class car that doesn’t fit into the VW Group at all. Unfortunately, now noises are coming up that make me nervous at every start. It sounds like a whining/singinging in idle run. At higher speed it gets less. At higher temperature, too. Well, my question….if it’s the pulley rollers – how long do they last? Do you hear a water pump damage before and how does it sound? Oh yes….the dealer had had the tooth belt changed before delivery. Is now no 3000km ago. Then I’m still interested in the running behavior of the V8. I usually know a very quiet run. With my speed fluctuations of about 30 to 40 rpm, which I can feel in the interior. In case of error, however, there is no problem memory?

Hello Phaetonists, in the 60 tsd. inspection nobody could help. For about two months at 1100-1400 U a loud resonance noise, even minimal vibration on the body, is noticeable. From 1500 U, think then the turbo uses, it is less noticeable, or is perhaps also overlaid. When driving in towns/city after starting at traffic lights, it is particularly annoying. In the fault memory nothing is stored, probably primarily mechanical nature. Can it come with air mass controller or defect from the turbo? The engine bearings which are hard placed, via underpressure control it is apparently not according to the workshop. Now enough, who of you has met similar synthesizers or has a guess which makes sense to check. Greeting, Eridanus

Hi friends, last Thursday I noticed for the first time a grinding Gräusch shortly before I stopped my black Eminence after a 20 km long drive. The next morning everything seemed to be ok again but when the engine got warm it was to be heard again. I drove back every day 21 km to work and in the evening the same distance again. When I arrived at work on Friday, I looked under the hood but there was nothing unusual to see. In the stand gas these grinding Gräusch were little to hear but when giving gas they became extremely loudly audible. At home I did not come back, because after the walk then apparently jumped out, the display appeared as if the selector lever was put on P. I could only roll out and no longer drive. The grinding noise, which was also heard in the stand at lever position P or N is now gone. I type on the converter. In June last year the converter, the gearbox, the transmission, the tribe electronics and a new gear oil cooler was installed. Power loss was not noticed before the total failure. Did anyone have idea?

Hello Phaeton municipality, are here USER who are familiar with the VAG-Com in my vicinity? (73…) Esslingen stuttgart) I would like to unlock autolock and lower the thick ca 30mm… would be happy… Greetings SLY

Moin Moin, ask you a short question. How does the map update work for the GP0? I have a 07 or 06 Naviversion as a CD in the Navicomputer. If I now have a new Navi-CD like Navteq VDO Dayton for BMW, Opel etc pp from 2012 or 2013, I also have to actuate the Firemware of the “you call it ZAB”? I know it from the RNS 510 that a Fireware Update was needed, how is it with the Phaeton GP0?
