so my wife's new mk7 displayed a 'tire pressure loss ind- error' on the MFD a couple of times. Does this refer to pressure loss (i checked all wheels, no pressure loss), or a fault with the actual sensor system? It's a brand new car with less than 1000 miles on it.

Just teach it pressures again.

i have, it pops up every now and then (only momentarily though and only when i switch the car on)

Happened to me yesterday, warning came up. I checked tyres visually asap and with a gauge when I got home.
No apparent loss of pressure in any tyre
Reset the moniterand so far so good.

Apparently stones stuck in tyre treads can cause the monitor to mis read.

i get it its included in the basic package but surely VW could find a way to make this work without hinches... the tire pressure monitor i have on my mk6 has not malfunctioned ever...

I am not saying it doesn't work, mine has been faultless, VW use an indirect system on the MK7 (as they did on the 6 & 5 etc) ,i.e there are no sensors in the tyre itself and therefore it relies on the ABS sensors to tell it that the tyre is out of shape, obviously this is a little open to false readings and not as good as a direct system.

I normally get an alert around this time of year as the road temperatures begin to warm up. A simple reset of the tire pressure system should sort the issue. Just confirm all the tyre pressures match first.

Hi candywhite12,
Finally did you manage to find a solution for this problem? I have the same error message coming up in my brand new car... I'm just curious if there is a simple solution before I take the car to the service. Thanks in advance!

hi there. not really, it does come up from time to time with no apparent reason - whenever I check tires they are ok - so i guess i will be waiting till its first service to check it out. let me know how it goes with yours in case your service comes earlier

Thanks for your response! Sure, I will come back to you if I have any update on this from the service... However it will take some time, my car has done only 400 kms so far. My guess is that some software update or service reset will solve the issue. We'll see...

If you have really strong changes in temperatures the pressure and shape of tyre change.
As I recall it was very hot in Hungary the last few months, but has been more fluctuating down to the teens.... that can upset pressure warning system as it is improved over previous gens. Had the same thing last year on winter holiday in Austria. -10 degrees, checked pressure, pumped tyres up a bit, reset pressure. Back in the UK after a bit of harsher driving at +10 I got a pressure warning, all OK and roughly where I pumped them up to in Austria.
Sometimes it just needs a reset.

^^^^^^100% agree.
Don't waste your time asking the dealer!

That's true it was very hot in Hungary in the last few months, and it probably can fool the tyre pressure system... But actually not the tyre pressure loss yellow warning light comes on, but randomly I get the "Tyre pressure loss ind_ error" message when I turn the ignition on. This is so weird... I tried the reset, but the error message keeps on popping up randomly.

That could be down to some fault in the system, a random value from a sensor... however, if it were an ABS sensor I would expect the car to be reporting ABS errors as well... Electronics don't much like extremes of heat or cold...

So it's an error on tyre pressure monitoring rather than tyre pressure warning?
If so off to dealer or at least someone with VCDS.

mine came on unexpectedly on a drive down to masham last year..pulled over and checked everything and all was well...reset it and its never uttered a dicky bird since
