Aftermarket wheels and VAGCOM

Post by Pau1 » Sun Mar 30, 2008 10:06 am

Well finally got my BBS CH's on the RS6 yesterday, looks fantastic but obviously i've now got the tyre pressure warning flashing up on the dash display. 8)

Can you use VAGCOM to disable this feature? :?:

Will post pictures up later tonight.

Well, I suppose you could use VAG-COM but not sure how. You can turn the system off via the menu (by the handbrake) in the '6 though. Wasn't sure you knew of this?

You can turn it off, but every time you start the car you get a beep and a warning in the dash display to remind you.

as strange as this sounds, you will only get the beep everytime as long as you shift out of park immediately after the car starts (within a second or two) if you wait just a few seconds before shifting, you will not get the beep to warn you that it is off

Do you still have the old rs6 wheels? I'm looking for a spare 19" with or without tyre.

Thanks
