Tyre pressure monitor update
« on: 10 February 2016, 14:09 »
My car went in yesterday for 4 new tyres ( continentals ) and to have the service computer reset.

I adjusted the pressures myself today as I always do but forgot to reset the monitor.


Anyhow, an hour later the computer pinged to tell me something was up and lo and behold, the computer now tells me which tyre to check..!

Excellent update in my opinion. Car is 2013 model.

It always did tell you which tyre went flat - only if it knows something is up but can't be quite sure which tyre (in case of slow loss and wear over time) will it give you the general 'check tyres' warning on the display.

Ah! Ok,

It has triggered 4 or 5 times since I've had the car and always with the general 'check tyres' which has always left me wishing it could be more specific, and today it was.!!

Thanks for clarifying, 'every day's a school day!! :smiley:

My 2013 car identified the damaged tyre correctly,  but unfortunately that was within two weeks of me purchasing it...and it required a new tyre too :angry:
