special Phaeton cup? and TPMS still faulty by markhalpern

Colleagues,
 
   I've had my 2004 Phaeton for exactly one month, and am pleased with it except for one thing: no one seems to know how to fix the Tire Pressure Monitoring System so that it doesn't give false alarms. Every trip I take, as soon as I get up to highway speeds, my TPMS reports that I have a flat tire! Anyone have the answer, or even a good guess?
 
   Another very minor matter: the cup holders in the front console seem to be made for especially big cups; regular-size cups just rattle around loose in them. Anyone know anything about special cups for the Phaeton?
 
   And I'd like to form an informal Phaeton Owners Club with other owners, particularly those in the San Francisco Bay Area. Get in touch with me if interested.

I leased a 2004 turned it in and am looking for one to purchase. My advice is to be careful with highway driving with the type problem you are experiencing with your vehicle. The only long highway trip we took in the Phaeton (Dallas to Jackson Hole) I ended up buying two new tires. The Tire Preassure Monitoring System indicated deflation problems tor a month, I had the tires checked and even went to a Discount Tire Store before the trip and they told me everything was OK. In the middle of nowhere Kansas the TMSP went off and this time I there was no question we had a tire problem. If you have more than 25K miles on your tires it may be time to get some new ones. If you have a warranty to fall back on the VW dealer can check the monitoring system out. Not the answer you probably wanted to see but this is my story.

Am planning on the Second Annual Gathering on 4-17-2009 and planning on showing the car in July and October of this year. Showing mainly because not a whole lot of people have ever seen the Phaeton. My dealer in San Diego services four of them and says there are 18 in Las Vegas. To confess, the First Annual Gathering was very sparsely attended but I had a good time. Thanks for writing. Best Wishes, Joe
