Tyre pressure warning

[mcmaddy]

Have had the tyre pressure warning come up twice in the last four days. First time was on the Tees fly over which has quite nasty gaps which make for what feels a bumpy ride. Stopped and checked tyres and could see no sign of damage and then later that night checked pressures and ask were ok. Put it down to the jolt on the suspension.
Just had the same thing tonight but on a different stretch of road but I'm sure I hit a little pot hole which then caused the pressure to ping up. Have just checked tyres and can't see anything untoward. Could it be the tyres causing this as the fronts are on about 2.7mm tread?? Have scanned the car with vcds and no errors at all with the abs system either. Anyone else had this when tyres get low on tread??

When was the last time you set the sensors? Could be the pressures have dropped a bit with the cold weather making them close to pinging up anyway? Just a thought....

The only times mine has pinged is when I've swapped to winter wheels and back again.

Presumably it is telling you which wheel(s) is the cause of the issue? Have you checked tyre pressures and reset? Are all wheel balance weights still intact?

I had a tyre repaired on my Mk5 after driving over a nail when the car was only a few days old. However the repaired tyre would very slowly lose a few PSI every month or so. Is there any chance you might have a slow puncture?

When it went off did it tell you what tyre was low or just a general check all of them as it does tell you the tyre that is losing pressure if there is a problem.

All tyres are checked weekly and system reset accordingly. It just shows loss of pressure detected but on the golf it doesn't tell you which tyre as it points from the abs system. Just wondering if it's because of the front tyres being nearly at end of life. Haven't had any issues at all in nearly two years of ownership.

Didn't have this issue when my tyres got low on tread.

I'll check them again and reset and see if it happens.

Mine told me the exact tyre when I was unlucky to have a puncture on my third day of ownership. Came up on the active info display as loss of pressure rear right tyre. Perhaps this was something that was changed on the 7.5.

Mine is a 2016 mk7 and also tells me which tyre

Interesting Patagonian. Mines a December 2016 and all its thrown up is loss of pressure detected. Got same message twice too.
