I just got my first W12 Phaeton back from the dealer after her 141,621 mile service. Total cost for thorough once over, cleaning out of sunroof drains, repair of brake pad warning light due to corroded wire
btw, i run nexen n3000 tires and love them.
Just put on four new 18" Conti Extreme Contact DWS tires on it and the ride is smooth and so very quiet.
Hi Ed I just had my timing belt (tensioner, rollers, cam seals), water pump, thermostat, serpentine belt, tensioner, and rollers replaced by a very good independent for $2300 on my 04 with 78K miles. The belt that came off showed no degradation and looked fine but I feel a lot better having it done.
I have purchased a new genuine plug, crush washer and oil filter and plan to change the oil and parts together
Hi Mike, Varta G14 is the retail equivalent, assuming you don't order the OEM one from VW Parts.
Oh and I missed on letter on the spark plug it's BKR6EOUP. It's a NGK "R" type.
Eventually it was deemed that the brake discs had become faulty, giving a vibration on braking and there was high speed vibration caused by unbalanced tyres. Front discs replaced, braking vibration gone.
On Thanksgiving vacation so finally got a chance to search the Phaeton forum about the weak sounding horn I have on mine. I see that others have had the same experience. I must resolve this because well...frankly the sound of the horn is embarrassing to say the least, not to mention unsafe. Beautiful big car with beep-beep horn?? My VW Golf has a horn that sounds much more manly than my Phaeton, LOL!
