http://editorial.autos.msn .com/article.aspx?cp-docum entid=1090537 Althought I thought the first attempt at having the Phaeton here in the US was a bit too pricey, it would be curious to see what another attempt would be like with a diesel powered Phaeton as this article suggests. What do you think?

I just bought a 2004 Phaeton and all of the sudden the rear sunshade does not work. I hear the clicking and fuses are fine.... Wondering if anyone knows of a fix?

My wife and I have made the decision to trade our fiver in on a Phaeton motor home. We haven't signed on the bottom line yet but have made arrangements for finance and have a delivery date. Before we make the final commitment I'd like to get any feedback on Tiffin Motorhomes and the Phaeton. Thanks in advance

This is a truly wonderful car, capable and with a loyal following of people like me who want a nicer vehicle without the Mercedes/BMW hood ornament and "attitude." Maybe VW will better understand this on their relaunch.

Yesterday while driving at around 40mph, my revs started to go up 2500 then down to 400 then up again to 2000. I shifted to N and the engine kept at around 900. Then I shifted back to D and the same happened. Shifted back to N. Then tried to keep it in 2 and it was OK for a little while then the engine stopped. I tried to get off the road, had to start the engine 2. Then I parked, switched ...

I am a recent convert to Phaeton ownership. I purchased an '04 Silver V8 with 50K miles for my wife and then got an '06 White V8 for myself. In the owner's manual there is an oblique reference to the side mirrors angling down while in reverse to aid parking. My wife's car seems to do this whereas mine does not. I assume I need to set up this feature somehow but I can't for the life of me find it...

You know what I find so intriguing about my Phaeton? Its ability to fix itself. Nearly every time a warning pops up, a bulb goes off, or a speaker cuts out, the problem corrects itself within minutes or hours and does not return. I'm thinking of dubbing it "Wolverine" because of its self-healing powers. Surely my Phaeton is not unique in this regard. Have you experienced this in yours? I think...

Do either of the two front info screens on the Phaeton have video in ports? I was thinking that a rear view camera would be a great idea but having to use either a special rear view mirror or a dash mounted display would not be all that great. Do either display have a video in port?

Hello everybody, I purchased a Phaeton a couple of months ago and have found this forum of great help! Has anyone retrofitted a skibag to their car? I have asked a quote to my VW Dealer but only got the price for the part itself, they have no idea how to remove the panel behind the armrest. Any ideas anyone? Thx Patrick
