Hello, I have a VW Phaeton in mind at the moment. It should be a 2nd car. However, I have no plan of the car and have a bit of fear or respect, if one reads here can sometimes become a fear and anxiety. Actually I wanted to get an A8 year 2011 for just under 36,000€. However, I have now discovered this Phaeton year 2009, it should cost 19.990 €. It is about the petroler V6 3.6 Has just 75,000km on the clock. Equipment he even has something:-) the 18 way seats, leather,purstaining,stand-off-assi,stand heating,Dach,Dyn Audio etc. The problem is that he is not standing at a VW dealer but at a free so-called multi-brand dealer. Also a large car dealer is not a flag dealer. Can one access such a car without consideration or is the repair technical too dangerous?

Dear Phaeton-Comunity, very often we have already recommended to each other in various threads “the beautiful things of this world”. I call on to place the recommendations in this thread. What should be recommended? Simply everything that makes the heart of a Phaetonist beat higher, from the field of art, music, culture, leisure equipment, holidays, hotels, hobby, watches, cigars, vintages, manufactory products, etc., etc…. Just not “everyday” things that would suit our “still” relatively rare extraordinary car…… Of course, these recommendations may also be critical of nature, user reviews for a recommendation are of course also welcome. ( Should, however, always remain a positive thread despite criticism.) Especially I call on the Phaetonists to make recommendations from a female perspective, since previous indications were mostly “male” views. ( With hope, perhaps, the other birthday ship will get your greetings, the gift of your own birthday!)

Hello, after reading so much about zottel here I drove 450 kilometers to him with my problem, my navicomputer had given up the spirit, in my workshop on the spot I was offered only one exchange, which would have cost about 1000 euros. zottel his partner expanded the part and found the error, it was only a solder to renew, that did not cost me 100 euros. and where I was already there I invested the saved money in a small tuning 🙂 after we were finished I am a few kilometers further to refuel, and there I filled 40 liters benzin instead of diesel (did not refuel in more than 20 years) my first call was of course to zottel, he could help me further and pumped out my tank in front of place VIELEN DANK again for your help! I will definitely drive back to zottel if I have a problem!!!

So again a new THREAD from me. Must admit that I used to smile at the car cleaning fraction rather and could not really understand how you can invest so much time in car care…. Now I seem to have real father feeling for my little “thickness” and want to spoil it;-) Which care products do you use? For the paint? Rims? Interior? (Here I would be interested if there is anything good for the wood carving strips? Irrespective polish that is sealed and perhaps also makes small hair scrapers invisible?) I am grateful for every tip for the ultimate Wundermittel! Greetings

Hello everyone, every year in winter the sweat pearls are on my forehead. At the traffic lights massive smoke fumes always rise in front of the left headlight. Each time I am afraid that my Phaeton is about to burn down. But it is always the heater. Hopefully. Why can’t you just move the exhaust air channel to the rear? Would spare me some fear. Has also been addressed at a traffic light that my car is burning because the smoke got up from the engine compartment. Gruss capdoc

Hello together, you tried to break into my Phaeton. The perpetrator or the perpetrators tried to smash the passenger side window but didn’t have it together, the disc has broken but stopped standing. Does one of you know if the partial cascade takes over this? I know that in general a windshield has a double glazing with a foil in between but how is that with the side window? is that not easy glazing?
