Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
« on: 27 October 2010, 19:20 »
My car does not have the optional TPMS but after visiting THIS SITE it now has.  :smiley:

You need someone with VCDS to activate it and it also needs VCDS to reset it as the button by the gearstick isn't available.

Don't know why it wasn't standard as it was on my MK5.

Interesting link Mike.

My reset button is in the glovebox I don't think they've had it by the gearstick for a long time.  :wink:

You can get the wiring and switch as a retrofit from that place in iirc germany that do alot of the retrofit kits. I can remember seeing it and reading a thread about it on here.
