VW Phaeton

[Conquistador]

Any love for the V10 TDI? I've got selling alerts set up and might be tempted if a nice high spec example came up. Mapping one to 900Nm torque is too appealing. Same goes for the Touraeg.

No recall has ever been issued for Phaeton either but if you dig deep enough you will find horror stories like the mammoth job of replacing a turbo, the four air struts being linked and can only be replaced as a set. You know, minor stuff...

That was part of Phaeton ownership for many - flying to Germany, sometimes with family, going to the VW museum and seeing it being 'born' in the glass factory. Must have been nice for those that could afford a new one.

Here's the evidence:

Interesting that the 4.2 petrol Phaeton has two air boxes.
