A friend of mine has an '04 Touareg and the tire pressure alarm keeps coming on. He has checked the pressure and it is fine. Took it into the shop and it wasn't giving any codes. It seems that it keeps setting off the alarm intermittently.
View 10 RepliesI have a 2007 F150 Screw lariat and have swapped the factory 20" wheels for a set of18" FX4 wheels. Question is how do i get the light on the dash to go off?? I swapped these tires and wheels 2 weeks ago and never got a light.. now tonight I get a light? I don't know if the 18" have pressure sensors in them or not..Wouldn't I have gotten a light right away?
View 1 RepliesHad some after market wheels installed and need to reprogram the tire stem valves as the tire pressure "Fault Light" keeps coming on. The dealer wants to charge per tire to do this!!! What is the VAG code to reprogram the stem valves?
View 24 RepliesHave an 04 Touareg V8 with a tire pressure monitoring system fault. Dealer says that one of the sensors is bad - $400 to fix. Have heard that the TPMS in the 04 was bad, removed in 05.
View 10 RepliesAll of a sudden my tire pressure light is on saying low tire. But they are fine of course so I go to check what is up and the tire pressure selection is missing from the menu. Sitting still of course. Tried everything short of hooking up the vag tool but figured it could not make it reappear ??

I have a 2004 Touareg with 70,000 miles, and until recently the tire pressure monitors have worked perfectly. Now I'm getting a Flat Tire warning, or a warning of a defective wheel, or when I try to reset it tries to learn but fails, or it sets a tire pressure of say 42 but the pressure is only 38. The Dealer says "its a known problem", he thinks they're going to issue a recall, but doesn't have a fix.
View 5 RepliesI am looking for which model of tire pressure monitor for my 04 VW Touareg. I am looking for the front sensors, I believe they are made by Beru. What is the code and where I can find those (link)?

Yesterday I've got an ugly "running gear" stop fault and after reading the forums perform "close the doors and push for few seconds the lock suspension button" and the issue went away. Then I went to MFI and notice that the menu option "Tire pressure" disappeared from the menu list. I check the tire-pressure system it worked, but menu item still not there. How I can get the item back?
I just bought new tires on my 2008 Prius. The tires are the Bridgestone Ecopia's ...
My problem is that the tire pressure light keeps coming on. I have checked the pressure individually and everything seems fine there. I have also taken it back to where I purchased the tires. They have tried to reset the TPMS sensors on each only to have the light turn back on after about 20 miles. My concern is that the sensors went bad or were damaged during installation. I asked about this and was told that the batteries on the sensors are fine. Their reasoning for making this determination was that in the reset process all sensors responded very quickly. If the batteries were going bad on the sensors, then it would have taken a long time for the sensors to read their computer. The tire guy also said that if the sensors were damaged, they would not respond at all. Since all responded, they should be okay.
Last night I found out my car can "sense" when I have low pressure in my tires as it sounded an alarm. It was right my back driver side tire must have a slow leak because it was down to 25 PSI. I looked in my manual and on my inside panel of my driver side door but couldn't find anywhere what the correct pressure should be. I checked all my tires. My two front, which are brand new tires came it at 38 PSI, my passenger side back was at 35. So I filled the other back tire back up to 35 and reset the low tire pressure alarm. Got up this morning and the tire was down to around 30, so off to the tire shop on Saturday. But where can I find out what is the best PSI for the four tires.
View 19 RepliesJust had new tire installed and now noticing that the original stem cap was not used. Alarm is not lit, but wondering if I should try to retrieve the original one, since we notified the tire shop that afternoon......or purchase a new one.
View 5 RepliesOne of the few disappointments I had with my 2011 F350 was it lacked a display of individual tire pressures like both Dodge & GM have. I figured the idiot light would have to do. Recently I found that an inner dual tire was flat. It made a subtle squeal when braking or turning sharply, and a quick inspection showed I picked up a nail.
I never got a tire pressure alarm. I read my manual and it describes the system, but the writeup only indicates setting up four tires. Am I missing something? Have you guys got a working tire pressure monitor on your duallies?
I have a 2007 F-150 that I'm having a little problem with. The tire pressure indicator light has kept coming on almost every time I drive it. I checked the tires, all register 35 pounds cold which is what it calls for. It has been going on in hot or cold weather for the past 4-5 months but will go off after I'd say 5 or 10 minutes of driving it. I really can't figure out what is going on with it. Bad sensor maybe? I looked to find something about this but couldn't or I didn't look hard enough.

My 04 treg is displaying "Check tire pressure", and I don't know how to reset, also I do not have an owners manual .
View 3 RepliesFor some strange reason, my T-reg has set itself to 0.00 psi on all four tires. I went into the program and attempted to have it reset. The tire pressure "off" icon appears at the top of the screen and upon start-up the annunciator states that it is recalibrating. How long does it typically take to recalibrate before you get a psi reading on the tires? Shouldn't it come immediately? It still has not recalulated after 5 miles. Should I have VW service take a look at it or is their a simple adjustment I can make?

For the first time in 3 months, I received the TPM fault message. I used my VW Digital Tire gauge and 3 tires were 30psi and one 33.5 psi. I added air to all of them. When I went to retest the pressure, I used the VW digital gauge and then an old stick gauge that I had. There was a difference of 4psi. The digital gauge read 34, the stick read 38. I then went to the local gas station and they tested it with their equipment. Theirs read 40psi.
What do you use to do an accurate measure of the pressure? I don't know what to believe. Is there a reading in the MFI? (The MFI showed me 0.0 on all 4 tires, cold and warm when the fault appeared, the symbol with the slash thru it. That's gone now since I drove awhile).
I just bought new tires for my Touareg. The tire pressure system is still saying I have a "defective tire" and then after a few minutes changes to "flat tire". How do I reset it?
View 6 RepliesIs there a way to completely disable the TPM system, I have turned it off in the MFI, but it displays a warning at the top of the screen, always. I put some Porsche 19"wheels on the Touareg without TPM. I took it to the dealer and they were unable to provide a solution.

View 15 RepliesHere in Boston it's 10 degrees out. Got the warning symbol for low tire pressure.
After I added Air to all 4 tires (47psi) on my 18" Conti's the warning went away, Until, I chose to select custom setting for tire pressure monitor. Since then the warning light has come back on and I can not get it to go away.
