Tyre pressures please?
« on: 20 June 2010, 10:13 »
Hi

Just purchased a 2005 Golf GT 2.0 TDI DSG (automatic diesel) 5 door.

Can you let me know what the front and rear tyre pressures are for when the car is not carrying a load and when it is please?

Thank you

 :smiley:

tells you on the inside of the fuel flap, or in the handbook. i think the diesels may be different to GTI's because of the weight.

Lol, well bar is a unit of pressure, 1 bar = 14.50326 psi.
You can use this site to do the conversion for your required pressures, http://www.mykp.co.uk/PSI-to-BAR/

good point! just thought he was generalising all MK5 golfs tyre pressures to be the same , my misunderstanding  :embarassed:
