where on earth do you get Nitrogen

National Tyres fill all their repairs/replacements with nitrogen, i've been running it for a few years now in various cars with no issues

I followed the guide inside ith fuel flap... 3.0 bar...

Too much?

Anyone? Why do people recommend less than is printed on the flap? I've got a fair drive tomorrow...

I go with the fuel cap recommendation of 40psi

Back in to Audi this morning as another wheel has lost a load of air overnight, placed fairy liquid over valve and air bubbles appeared immediately.

Between valve and rim, or from the valve core.

If it is from between valve and rim, try tightening the nut.

Thanks Simon, I am going to let Audi do it because the ATS fitters said the housing is corroded and if something goes wrong I'd rather Audi had the spanner in their hand.

Cheers

confused... you all mention 40psi as a recomendation..
am I missing something?

Post by **SteveH** » Wed May 03, 2006 3:57 pm

Mine is different to that, for 255/35/19 its 40psi normally loaded, heavy load 46.

Me too

Maybe yours is the Xtra Load version Bob? Time to get on a diet

Don't jest... I've just picked up a jacket for my wedding and it's a size 48... I nearly punched the poor salesman.

So salad suits me sir...

But why would mine be different - bet I've got the one with the misprint.

Odd - the 'standard' sticker part number is 4B3 010 188C. Your car appears to have 4B3 010 435P. This is used when options FQ1 and T09 are fitted, but those options are 'wheels and tyres from quattro gmbh' and '8 cylinder fuel injection engine 4.2ltr 331KW'. I can't see why we don't all have your sticker! My car data sticker lists T09, but not FQ1.

Maybe a Plus thing then? "wheels and tyres from quattro gmbh" would maybe be the key? Being 10ml lower?

Any other Plus owners care to check?
