Hey Longman, I am in Dartford and need my Tyre Pressure Sensors disabled as one doesn't work and the warning keeps flashing up. Would you be able to help me out at all? Will come to you if you can. Cheers

You can just disable them on the DIS.
No matter where you go, there you are.

How do I do that? I've tried but can only seem to store the pressures? Then it goes off again

@MrHilario - have a look here -
viewtopic.php?f=35&t=89343&start=15
Basically, in
VCDS you do:
Select -> 17-Instruments -> Adaptation -> Channel 61.
Subtract 512 from whatever value you find there.
The instuments will then not show any TPMS errors etc.
Did this on mine a while ago with no problems.

Thanks Mike, I don't actually have a Vagcom but this will help when I get hold of one.

No probs

Bizarre thing - had my battery disconnected the other day and after reconnecting and scanning, no TPMS warnings.
I'll give it another scan after its been driven for a bit and see if anything pops up..
I like having a 'clean' dashboard so all is good.

Hi folks,
Before I go and buy
VCDS ir obdeleven, I am curious to know what options I have for coding on my B7? And if there is anyone close to me (Ipswich ish) that has
VCDS or obdeleven that would maybe do some coding.
Cheers
