#8 of 29 special Phaeton cup? and TPMS still faulty by markhalpern Apr 24, 2008 (4:44 pm)
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.                       Mark Replies to this message: tsmith1948 (Apr 25, 2008 5:29 pm)

Replying to: markhalpern (Apr 24, 2008 4:44 pm) 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.   Tommy

Replying to: ablenav (Apr 24, 2008 3:45 pm) 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.

Replying to: wimpy4 (Apr 25, 2008 9:19 pm) Joe, I have out the 4-17-2009 event on my calendar and keep us posted on the showings later this year. Like you my dealer in San Juan Capistrano services around 11 of them so maybe we can connect all. Alan Replies to this message: wimpy4 (Mar 31, 2009 10:20 pm) ablenav (Apr 01, 2009 7:25 am)

I would love to attend the next event. I am in Ventura County and own a Black/Tan 2004. I have seen several around here. I even saw two within 1/2 an hour. After a bad day, I climb into the driver's seat ... pull out of the garage, turn up some Midge Ure's "The Gift" CD ... and suddenly ... Life Is Good. Please keep me informed of the next gathering.

Replying to: ablenav (Apr 26, 2008 9:39 am) 4-17-09 (Chairman Piech's birthday) has rolled around quickly. I had a great year with my 2004 V-8 and look forward to seeing how other owners fared.   There seem to be quite a few Phaetons in south Orange Co. Also, I understand there is someone in Auto Trader specializing in them in south Orange.   I became aware of an interesting restaurant in Corona del Mar. Might be a good place to meet on the 17th (a Friday). Best Wishes, Joe Frazier   . Replies to this message: ablenav (Apr 01, 2009 7:25 am)

Replying to: wimpy4 (Mar 31, 2009 10:20 pm) No April Fool's joke here. I am in for meeting in Corona del Mar on 4/17/09. My blue 2004 V8 and I will be ready.   Which restaurant Joe?   Thanks for getting this moving. Alan Boal

Alan, I am having a little difficulty with my e mails. I have been intrigued with a descrption I read about the Five Crown Restaurant in Corona del Mar. They have valet parking and I'm not sure we could get all of the cars together at one place in their lot. I may try to run up there one night this week. Comments?
