Snoopy you should have the basic TPMS already there you just need to enable it via VCDS. Don't bother with the full kit as it isn't worth the extra cost plus fitting. My Flat Tyre Indicator works perfectly and its the best £35 I've ever spent on the car.

Forgive my ignorance. You say a dealer can enable it without the full kit. Will it then show on the MFD if there is a deflation?

[SteveP]

Yes but you can't reset it yourself without either access to VCDS cable or going back to the dealers.

Thanks Steve. Thought so.

You will hear the beep and the flat tyre light will be lit it will show nothing on the MFD. Now they are quite sensitive I have one tyre that drops 3 psi after about 3 or 4 weeks and the light comes on so a visual check isn't much use for 3 psi. Obviously a visual check is the first thing you do just in case you have a fast puncture.

I just added then link to retrofiting the indirect tyre pressure monitoring system.

You will need the Set button in the glovebox to recalibrate it otherwise you have to use the VCDS to do it.

That was the orignal question of this thread which was answered back on Reply 2 by SteveP
Snoopy had already linked to the VCDS procedure on Reply 11.

Why have have you just repeated what everyone else has already said, maybe it was just to summarise the thread

Has Snoopy said I have done his many moons ago, its very easy to do and the hardest part of it is getting the plug out of the abs module

In all its quite a good little mod, but don't rely on it cos its not the most accurate thing.
