Mine kept coming on so i kept re-setting as the pressures were not dropping, so when i changed the wheels and put the spacers on i transferred the sensors but one was really loose almost falling off, when all was done i didnt have to re-set anything the light was off as soon as i turned on the ignition now it has not come on since seems to be sorted

How do you turn off the TPMS so that I stop getting that annoying beep on start up? I looked in the manual but couldn't find anything. Can it be done by VAGCOM?
I disabled my TPMS using VAGcom last month, i googled it, easy fix to implement.

Select -> 17-Instruments -> Adaptation -> Channel 61.

Subtract 512 from whatever value you find there.

I have just had to done this, this morning due to me putting 20s on :bigblink: :bigblink:

Hi all,

I have a problem. Yellow warning light with a line through it on the dash - from startup.

VCDS gave a fault. I forget the fault code- i left it at home, but it was a general fault that said the MIL was on. Nothing about a particular component.

I went into measuring blocks. I can only see the pressure for position 2.
1,3,4 are all not reading pressure or temperature.

Any ideas? I read about the antenna, but if one is working ??

Thanks!
