Here you go!



I have now elected for the 2.1 BAR F and 1.9 BAR R as they did look slightly under inflated at the fronts.

Bear in mind that you drive a 2.0 8v GTi where as I think the rest of us all drive 1.8T 20v GTi's... This could be why your filler flap says different...

Just for the record my flap shows 2.1bar front and 1.9bar rear. I run 31psi front and 29psi rear. I find these settings fine.  :smiley:

possibly but then i would have thought that mine would ask for higher PSI again due to the heavier diesel lump in the front  :undecided:

Good point.... I will check my brothers 150 diesel and see what his flap says as they came with 16" wheels from the factory and see if mine and his are the same..

I'm glad I proved I wasn't such a worthless idiot afterall.  Not sure whether to keep at 2.1 or not now.

I'm keeping them at 2.1BAR as long as this won't affect tread wear.  What do you think?
