Someone was up near Dungannon direction.
Haven’t seen a Phaeton in work (VW dealer) in years. Terrible car to work round and the first generation had some rust issues. Nice enough car to drive mind but from an ownership point of view I wouldn’t be enamoured.Seen an FTO last night and two Phaetons within 15 minutes of each other, they weren’t even the same one!
I can count on one hand the number of phaetons I've seen. A fair few on Autotrader though so they must still be around. Mostly big mile diesel though. Basically a jumped up Passat without the W, but that one must be a nightmare to keep on top of...
When I worked in Agnews they had this special lift to take the engine and gearbox out of them. Never seen anyone physically buy one in 7 years and only ever 2 maximum came through for sale used.Haven’t seen a Phaeton in work (VW dealer) in years.

They were closer related to the A8 & Continental. The Phaeton was though steel and around 2200KG and the A8 Aluminum and 1850kg.I can count on one hand the number of phaetons I've seen.

They were basically the test mule for the Continental were they not? Ridiculous amounts of money going into the Phaeton dev if memory serves? Never made money on them?
Did alright with the Conti though
Im near sure i saw this in Dundonald yesterday, some length of a thing! Sounds well
Yeah he was up putting a fuel filter on it. It’s a beast, 1.5jz with around 500bhp. Sounds immenseIm near sure i saw this in Dundonald yesterday, some length of a thing! Sounds well
