Suspension problems and warning light on 2007 VW Pheton, possible fault in damper adjustment

Excessive Bouncing

Bouncing excessively over bumps

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Hello everyone! I'm having problems with my 2007 VW Pheton, gasoline engine, with almost exactly 145290 km on the odometer. It's starting to bounce quite a lot over bumps and the warning light in the speedometer is also illuminated. I didn't have such a good experience last time at the garage, so I'm turning to you guys now. Has anyone had similar symptoms and identified them as a fault in the suspension damper adjustment? How did it go for you in the workshop? I look forward to any experiences and tips. Thank you!

Hi mate, sounds like a challenge, can sympathize with your annoyance. I had a similar problem with my 2004 VW Passat. There was an annoying hop over bumps and the warning light was on. In my case, it was the damper adjustment that had a problem. Get it checked at a garage, these are no jokes and can lead to very dangerous situations. In my case, it took a lot of time and effort, but now it's running perfectly again. I hope it can be sorted out quickly for you!

Hello there! No problem, I'm happy to share my experience. So, after my car was at the mechanic, the fault in the suspension damper adjustment was fixed and since then everything has been perfect. No further problems or anything. The bill was a bit hefty, it cost me €1000 to repair the control unit. But I have to say it was worth it. Since then, the car has been driving like a dream again. Hope this helps you, good luck with it!

Hello, thank you for your quick reply and the information! 1000 € is a hefty price, but if it helps, it's worth it. After all, safety comes first. Glad to hear that everything is OK with you and that no further problems have arisen. I will make an appointment at the workshop tomorrow and hope that it is exactly this fault. Thanks for your help and I'll keep you posted. Greetings!
