Touareg :: Low Pressure Alert On Three Tyres
Nov 26, 2007
I get in my T2 this morning only to find a low pressure warning on THREE tires. What is happening?
- they are filled with nitrogen
- they are 3 months old (like the truck)
- it was around 50 degrees last night, 65 when I started it this morning
- i park in an enclosed garage attached to my house
- I drove all the way to campus (15 minutes), the warning remained
- the one tire reporting "normal" actually went from 29.5 to 30.5 on the drive
- i stopped at a gas station and the front were at 31, rear at 38. The door says the front should be 36, rear 44.
- note that the front two tires are the same but only one has a warning
- truck handles fine
Are those psi numbers the same for nitrogen? Can I just add regular air? Why the sudden loss of pressure in three tires? Is it a malfunctioning TPS (TPMS?) already?

How do i check the tire pressure of the tyres in the car. I know that there are tire pressure sensors and i have seen on the website that it can be displayed on the speedometer?

It's actually my dad's car, me and him both got VW the same day, labor day. me an R32 and he got a 08 passat 2.0t. First off, the car is a daily driver, currently has 19xx miles on it. it was bought brand new with 14 miles on it and has no mods.
Beginning of this week, the oil pressure alert comes on. We check the dipstick and it is bone dry. We add enough oil so that it levels off at the center/midpoint on the dipstick. Now end of this week, after about 300-400 miles, we check and the level is under the minimum, there is no leakage anywhere underneath the engine, no leaks from the oil drain screw or filter.
It doesn't puff black smoke, but that doesn't mean it still doesn't burn oil. i looked at the exhaust tips, and alot of black soot around the tips and on the outside/inside of the tips. I'm saying it has to be something internally wrong, pistons rings/seals damaged, installed wrong? I mean, where is this oil going! It's a brand new freakin car and this happens? Would this be a factory defect?

Got a low tire pressure alert this morning. Was running late for work and the tires weren't noticeably low and work is only 5 miles away so I decided to do it after work. Went to the gas station to get some air and all the tires were at 33 ish and one was at 20. Filled it up and drove for about 25 minutes but the error light never came off.

Purchasing snow tires with OEM rims and trying not to have to purchase a new set of wheel pressure sensors - hence my question: Can the wheel air pressure sensor alert be disabled to do away with that nagging info?

The wifes 2010 taurus popped up a tire pressure alert and she took it to our tire guy and he added some nitrogen, but didnt get rid of the alert. It is a solid icon, not blinking.
So we took it to the Ford dealer and they went around and checked the pressure.
Then two guys got into the car three times, and we could see the seat going back and forth. What the heck?
Well the 3rd time fixed the alert. I am sure they know of some button sequence to do this. Is it a secret diagnosis you can bring up?

My local dealer (who seems very good) suggested they repair an oil leak at the timing chain cover before my 60K warranty expired. Kept the car 2 days waiting for parts. Then some very odd problems developed.
First I noticed the AC wasn't working: fan runs but will not blow cold. Dealer said must be something else because they didn't touch the AC. Then after a half hour of driving the AC suddenly starts blowing cold.
Maybe an hour of driving later, the dash beeps, alerts, and "low oil pressure" comes on the screen. Shut it off & have it towed to dealer.
While checking the mileage at the dealer, the service adviser and I both see the dash beep, alert, and ABS and Trak alarms go off.
Tech resets the computer but says he can't find any error codes. Systems and oil pressure all seem ok.
I drive 10 min, and.... beep, alert, "low oil pressure".

Took our 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan to a tire shop today. One sensor battery is completely dead, and when replaced, the other 3 batteries were too weak remove the alert from the information panel. Cost to repair all 4 is $400. Decided to live with the alert and they graciously put the bad sensor back in. Is there any way to disable the system? I check tire pressures regularly anyway. The continuous alert is agrivating.

Question, when you rotate tires on a 2012 Prius do you have to reset anything concerning the sensors for low tire pressure ?

My 2010 III, not 3 or Three since it is a 2010, will brake loose the tires when wet with moderate acceleration. If i floor it it will alternate spinning right to left until I back off the throttle. I"m not really complaining since I had an 08 that would not spin a tire and could not be driven in snow. Just wondering if this is normal on a 2010.
I turned right with moderate acceleration on wet pavement today and the tyres broke loose and the car was headed for the curb. Oh the traction control light does come on when this happens but, no brake application or engine speed reduction.

What may cause a strange whirring sound when my R32 is on. I can be in park, sitting still..whatever...It sounds like it's coming from somewhere around the rear tires.
Whirring...humming... Honestly to me it sounds similar to an electric motor trying to do it's job but something is keeping it from doing so. Would be the best way to describe it. I just got the car a few weeks ago and the sound started last week.

ESP light came on the day before car went in for service. It appears that the ESP warning has come on because of worn front tyres - will know for certain tomorrow when new tyres fitted. Light was coming on when cornering..

Took delivery of my 2015 GTI a few weeks ago. Overall the car is great, but I have a feeling the tires that came with it just plain suck. They are Pirelli P7 Cinturato A/S. According to Tire Rack, these are grand touring tires?! Not exactly what I'd expect to be put on a GTI. Anyway, I've noticed that at almost exactly between 60mph-70mph there is a "whine" sound coming from them, also just the slightest vibration in the steering wheel. At every other speed they are relatively quiet and the wheel is absolutely dead solid, no vibration. Could these tires just be of relatively poor quality? Should I have them put on a balancing machine to see if everything checks out? I'm assuming these were balanced on a Road Force machine at the factory since that is the OEM for VW/Audi, but I'm not 100% sure obviously.

Started my treg this morning and got the tire pressure warning. Cchecked in convenience setup to see which one had low pressure, and it indicated all four tires were low. Filled tires up and checked pressure again (manually using digital gauge) and they were correct. Started up treg and still got tire pressure warning for all four tires.

My 04 treg is displaying "Check tire pressure", and I don't know how to reset, also I do not have an owners manual .

Well, I didn't get 10 miles from the dealer before the air pressure monitor fault hit. I had asked them to check this in advance and my salesperson said that only some T-regs have it and that there is no way to know until it happens. Was the dealer right? Or could they have saved me this additional 1-day hassle of having the problem fixed?

For 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?

My '04 V6 is just about to turn 50K miles, fairly trouble-free, but twice in the past two weeks I've gotten a low oil pressure alarm. The alarm occurs on surface streets following a lengthy 70-80 mph run on the interstate. It pops up on the MFI, beeps a couple of times, and then goes away.
Not sure what's going on, but want to make sure that the dealership hears about it before I run out of warranty.

My avg MPG with mainly city driving was around 14 with 39PSI all the way around. I adjusted my tires up to the recommended 44/36 front/back and I am now at 16+ in the city.

I've been noticing recently that my oil pressure gauge has been hanging on "0" until I drive it for awhile, then it will go up to a normal level of around 180-200. It used to register the pressure quicker. The oil level is fine. In fact, I just had my 5K (at 6K) service a month ago.Again I ask, is this normal?
