Hey guys,
Currently dealing with an out of warranty 2016 Bentley CGT doing 1500mi that has dropped down on its front wheels after throwing a "stop, car too low" message on the dash. The car has never been modified or serviced in any way aside from oil changes.
Also having an issue with the infotainment system constantly rebooting. I can hear the disc drive clicking and the fan on the back spinning, but it never makes it beyond the Bentley logo.

All fuses in the rear LHS compartment are intact. I have tried pulling the fuses for navigation and the infotainment to perform a "reset," but nothing worked. Tire pressure issues were sorted as well.
I've attached a log from when the issues started. The only thing that has changed since then was a new auxiliary battery -- the old battery would not hold beyond 12.0v despite charging.

out of warranty 2016 Bentley CGT
doing 1500mi
The car has never been modified or serviced in any way aside from oil changes.
I'm curious how is it out of warranty then? Is it perhaps wrecked/salvaged, or imported to your country by an unusual route?

Paging through your scan, except for the suspension and infotainment complaints, most fault codes you have could be explained by historical low voltage issues from your dead battery. I would clear fault codes in each module (or use the clear-all function in the Auto-Scan screen) and see what, if anything returns. This may be important to figure out what's going on with your infotainment.

The above indicates a legitimate physical air leak somewhere in the system. It'll take some detective work to find out where. If the front end is on the ground, it'll be a problem with one of the two front air shocks, or the lines to them. Historically speaking, I think it's usually been the air shocks. It's not an unknown problem. There are companies that rebuild them professionally with new air bags.

Jef @ Ross-Tech posted an interesting tool/method for locating air leaks. I have not personally used it but it looks interesting. You could use it to try to localize which of the air shocks is having trouble.

No, no salvage title on it. There are no local Bentley dealers, so the car was purchased from a UK dealer in 2016. The warranty ended 12 months after delivery

I contacted Bentley UK who put me onto a technician. His first guess was that the battery was dying. The LHS battery has been replaced with a fresh battery to rule out any low voltage limitations. The car has since been plugged into the OEM supplied battery tender.

No luck in using Jef's tool to check for the leaks within the struts because it seems as if the compressor itself isn't coming on either. Under no situation will the car lift the suspension. I can't manipulate the level control electronics either because I don't have the security codes, and Bentley won't give them to me

I contacted Bentley UK who put me onto a technician. His first guess was that the battery was dying. The LHS battery has been replaced with a fresh battery to rule out any low voltage limitations. The car has since been plugged into the OEM supplied battery tender.
These cars do like to eat LHS batteries, but I don't think that's your problem here, and you've gone ahead and ruled it out anyway.

No luck in using Jef's tool to check for the leaks within the struts because it seems as if the compressor itself isn't coming on either. Under no situation will the car lift the suspension. I can't manipulate the level control electronics either because I don't have the security codes, and Bentley won't give them to me

Hrm, this will be something of an inconvenience:

Code:
Address 34: Level Control        Labels: None
   Part No: 3W0 907 553 J
   Component: LUFTFDR.-CDC- 3C3V0 7509  
   Coding: 0005531
   Shop #: WSC 00083 790 00203
   VCID: 41DC4D6F4DC8D2BF27B-8014

Your level control looks to be a 3W (Bentley) copy of what's in my Phaeton, ten years newer. But hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! And, maybe we can help:

That will probably work. Even if it doesn't, let's see if we can teach VCDS to fish. It already knows how to find label files for slightly older revisions of your controller, and this new one doesn't look a whole lot different. You'll need to do this to make sense of the measured value block values anyway.

Using a text editor, open the redirect label file "C:\Ross-Tech\VCDS\Labels\3W-34.lbl" and add the new line in RED below:

Code:
; last modification on 26/Feb/2013
;
; requires VCDS 11.11.5 or newer
;
;
REDIRECT,3D0-907-553-V1.lbl,3W0-907-553
REDIRECT,3Wx-907-553-34.lbl,3W0-907-553-A
REDIRECT,3Wx-907-553-34.lbl,3W0-907-553-E
REDIRECT,3Wx-907-553-34.lbl,3W0-907-553-H
REDIRECT,3Wx-907-553-34.lbl,3W0-907-553-J

If that makes VCDS pull up working SA logins and working MVB descriptions for you, drop a note to support@ross-tech.com with a link to this thread and let them know. They can add that redirect to future releases of VCDS so you never have to do this again. Meanwhile, if you haven't already, try clearing fault codes before trying to manipulate the suspension. Some of those faults might effectively disable level control until they're cleared.

If the compressor still won't come on at all, you may want to try jumping 12V+ to it directly to make sure it works. I trust you have a wiring diagram for this car and can figure out the pinout. Or if you don't want to mess with the compressor, you could look to see if there's any way to pressurize each corner with shop air, just to get some leak testing done. I'm not sure if the connections at the distribution block are easy to undo, but if you were prepared to use Jef's method of leak isolation, you might be prepared to try this as well. Make sure your compressor has a good dryer on it. Moisture in the system is to be avoided, and the onboard compressor has its own mitigation for moisture.

If you need to research, it will probably be easier to find info on VW Phaetons. Here's a couple links on calibration you might find helpful:

I can't give you a direct link here in the forum, but I can tell you a Google search for "VW SSP 275" will turn up a lot of educational material you might find helpful.

Thank you for the detailed response. Any additional information really helps. I haven't gotten a chance to check the articles that you've provided, but I just came back from the car after doing what you said, and i can confirm that the SA codes provided are not correct, unfortunately. I'll keep on digging.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to get in touch with Bentley to gain access to ERWIN, because it keeps rejecting my payment

We Phaeton nerds are always happy for a chance to to talk shop with our Bentley cousins. :thumbs:

May I ask exactly what happened when you tried the above SA logins? Trying wrong SA logins can put the controller into an enforced lockout period, the timer for which only runs when the ignition is on. During that time it'll refuse even valid logins. But, it should tell you that you're locked out. Hence the question, exactly what error do you see?

It's still worth making that label redirect update. VCDS has direct label file support for your Bentley controller line, just one or two revisions back, and it's quite likely close enough to support yours as well. You'll want to do this so you have sensible labels for all the Measured Value Block fields, to know what heights and pressures and such are being measured and where. And, if your controller truly used different SA logins, and Ross-Tech has knowledge of them for that older controller, the redirect tweak will make those appear for you like they do for me.

All that said, it's unclear that you need the SA login right away to troubleshoot. If the level sensors are reading true and correct heights, you don't need to recalibrate. I'm not near my Phaeton right now to check, but this module might support some Output Tests to trigger the compressor and such.

Apparently submitting an edit on my phone automatically deletes the thread lol, anyway.

So I haven't gotten chance to get back to the car to copy the SA login error that it's presenting, but I did update the label file as you requested. The SA login I used is the one that's given by VCDS after the update, but it refused login and didn't mention anything about lock out.

Bentley erwin has turned into yet another dead end because they apparently do not support purchases from outside the UK. A few independent shops that I've contacted within North America direct me back to Ross tech as the only people that can help me.

Really at a loss now, and completely regretting buying this car to begin with.

I'm starting to think that the issue lies within the unresponsive infotainment unit itself. Would it make sense to start pulling fuses for the separate modules like navigation and tpms to see if I can make it Boot? My thinking is maybe that one of the modules is throwing an error during the power on self test and that it's stuck in a boot loop because of it. Would this make sense or am I overthinking the j523 design?

Really at a loss here.
