Phaeton :: AC Stopped Working - Fault Code 00716
May 11, 2016
My AC stopped working a few weeks back. The garage looked at it and noticed it had no refrigerant, the fault code stated this also. It was traced to the condenser which was replaced and the system regassed. The AC will still not work. The current fault code is 00716 Air Recirculation Flap Positioning Motor (v113) 005 - No or Incorrect Basic Setting/Adaptation. That is the only fault code showing and cannot be reset.
There is no cold air at all. Could this fault be preventing the AC from working? What is odd is that the compressor seems to be running when you switch on AC as it shows up in the diagnostics as running with about 2nm of torque.

I recently had my front axles replaced and a week or two after I'm getting this code for level fault workshop. Do you think it could be something they did when they replaced the axles. I also had the secondary radiator replaced.

Noticed the vehicle was riding low on the passenger sign, and then received a fault code on the driver's screen "Level Fault Workshop" what is this? I can't find in the faq section...

After having the car "plugged in", it appears that one of the intake manifold swirl flaps isn't always returning to it's lower stop (fault P1018). The mechanic suggested that the actuator arm may be caked in debris, and that cleaning it and manually working it a few times should fix the problem?

At the end of my first week of ownership, I encountered problems with the rear cabin light in my car not working properly - sometimes it came on when the doors were opened, and sometimes it did not. I mentioned it to the Phaeton technician at my dealership, and we agreed to just defer investigation and rectification until the car was due to come in for its first oil change.
After I finished putting the start button in, I ran a diagnostic scan on the car, and the problem with the rear cabin dome light was the only remaining fault code. So - I kind of figured "gee, this can't be rocket science to fix", and I removed the rear cabin light assembly from the roof of the car.
I had a close look at it, and found the cause of the problem pretty quickly. When the assembly was put together, the tiny black wire that carries power to the rear cabin interior light button became trapped between the large bus bar that serves as a ground for all the switches and some foam insulation that protects the circuit board from the ground bus bar. The entire assembly would have tested out just fine when it was manufactured, but over time, the vibration encountered in transporting the car from Germany to Canada, and the vibration caused when I drove the car around during my first week of ownership caused the bus bar to cut through the insulation on the wire - hence the short circuit. All I had to do to fix it was just poke the wire out from under the bus bar. Everything works great now.
The fault code that was generated - "Rear Interior Lamp Button - Short to Earth" was absolutely dead-on, and took me directly to the problem. I really doubt if I ever would have found this problem if the car did not have such a competent self-diagnostic system.

In the past few weeks I have seen an intermittent "Level Error-Workshop". However every suspension function has worked perfectly, and no height was lost even while sitting at the airport for a week.
How to track down the leak. I can see a tank pressure of about 13 PSI. Is that about right. I did a raise / lower while VCDS was connected and there was a pressure drop to about 11.7 PSI but no level error. What is the correct range of tank pressure settings?

My friend has a Phaeton and his mirrors stopped working all of a sudden. His car is out of warranty. What it could be? It sounds like an electrical problem to me but you would have to check for power to the mirrors.

So my aux heater stopped working. It may just be a failed glowplug as per the error code but as there is significant corrosion around the controller I thought it best to get hold of a second hand unit, which leads to a couple of questions.
1. Can the glow plug be changed with the heater in situ?
2. What needs to be removed to get the heater out? Is it a big job?
Even my mech says it's easily the most complex car he's worked on, and he's had Ferraris/Porsches etc in before!

I've got a UK 2003 Phaeton (78Kmiles). Picked it up 6 months ago and have put 8K miles on it with no issues at all until...
The key fobs just stopped working. Car was supplied with two fobs and both stopped working. Replaced the batteries to no avail. Press any of the buttons = light on the key works but the car ignores it totally. (even right next to it)
I can use the key for entry / lock /,alarming, but it's really not cricket for such a fine automocar.

We have a 2008 LWB Phaeton. It had some bodywork done on the back wheel arch last week ( neighbour ran into it!) and a tyre reconditioned. As we drove away from the garage we noticed that the whole of the dashboard was not working nothing at all, no speedo, rev, fuel etc etc.
Took it to vw who ran a quick test and thought it may be an earth somewhere as the voltage was reading 10 and not of 12, but couldn't find out where as they would need to look at diagrams on a Phaeton as they don't see many, and they were not able to do for another two weeks.
Our car is currently sitting in an independent garage, who normally look after it, with their mechanics scratching their heads as to whats wrong with it. As they said its like the ignition is not speaking to the the dash etc.

I opened the boot via the door panel button. Loaded suitcases in and pressed button down on the boot lid.
The two hooks ( plastic and metal one ) directly came out and the boot lid did not move at all.
Tried a reset the whole procedure found on this excellent forum. but no result. I also tried to put my key in the boot lock and it doesnt want to lock or unlock.

So the gas gauge stopped working correctly over the winter and now in addition to that the DIC is telling me "Check the gas cap". I put a new GM cap on, the filler neck was rusty so I sanded it and applied some oil to the lip of the neck and the cap.
DTC code is 440 and I keep getting informed to check the gas cap. The car has 120k miles on it.

I have an issue with my 960 wagon. When I first got the car this past July, the AC light was flashing. I ignored it because I didn't really need the AC. I knew the heat worked fine, which I need up here in the northeast. However, a week ago or so the heat suddenly stopped working. It worked fine in the morning. I parked the car in a lot, came back about five hours later, and no heat.
I found the sheet with the AC diagnostic codes on it, and followed the procedure to get the codes.
[URL]........................
I'm getting the code 132 every time I do the diagnostic, and sometimes I also get 161. Of the three times on three different days I've done the diagnostic, the 161 only came up once.
In-Vehicle Temperature Sensor
Open Circuit Or Short Circuit To 12 Volts .......... 132
Solar Sensor ......................................... 161
I'm not sure where the in-vehicle temperature sensor is. Is it in the dome light? It says the "courtesy light fixture" in the docs, so I'm not sure this is the same thing. The dome light is not currently connected in my car. I have two of them in the garage but neither ever produced light when plugged in, and the heat worked fine all during that time, so I didn't worry about it. It was only until a week ago or so that the heat stopped working.
The temp panel controls work fine. Blower blows as needed, vents switch no problem. Recirculate actuates. No heat.

She is really running rough. Vcds engine scan shows no value on bank2 of the O2 sensor or lambda once I drill down into things. I haven't been able to figure out much else. Also I was getting a fault for a misfire cylinder 3 so I replaced all the coils on that side of the engine and put in a new set of spark plugs all around which did improve things but the car is gutless from idle to around 2000 rpm then it starts to pull. The check engine light blinks for about 30 seconds and then comes on steady. I used a propane tank to try and find any vacuum leaks but everything looks good so far. I guess I will take it to my independent shop hoping his scan can shed some more info on the O2 sensor readings.

I just got the Air Bag Fault light and warning on my display for my 2006 Phaeton. I have not seen any posts on this topic doing a keyword search. This happened the day after I got back to my car at the airport parking and found a cracked windshield that is $825 for the glass alone. Not a good week so far.

A few days ago I got an Airbag Fault Warning while driving, since then the orange airbag light has remained on and at start up it gives me a "Airbag Fault" warning. Any remedies? The manual states to just take it in to the dealer.
