Tyre pressure

[BezzyR]

I got a screw in my rear left tyre.. it went through... so they have patched it until a new tyre comes in on order, (19" Dunlop Sprt Maxx)
I was therewhen they fixed it, saw it dumped in the water after they patched it, no bubbles.. so all good, but now the check tyre pressure lights coming on!?! I did even know they had tyre pressure sensors in the R? dont know how to turn it off or why its coming on.. I checked the pressure again today and it was on 40 which the tyre bloke put in it yesterday.. so hasnt gone down.. hmmm any ideas?

It's discussed in the manual.
All Golfs (and Polos? basically all VW's sold now?) have pressure monitoring done via the ABS sensors. There is a button in your glove box. You may need to put your head down low and look up to see it. Hold it down until your car beeps (I think that's the procedure), and then drive off. It'll recalibrate itself. You need to do that any time that you adjust the pressures, rotate the wheels, or change a tyre or tyres.

Our Jan 2011 built Golf Wagon does not have this tyre pressue monitoring - should it have ?
It's a Comfortline 103 TDI.

Sorry. It appears I was incorrect. It's just the Golf GTI/GTD and R that have this as standard. The Comfortline optionally via the Sports Package. The Trendline models miss out altogether.

presuming its the same tyre pressure monitoring system fitted across the range by VwAG, the manual for mine states:-

 Press button "SET (_|_)" for more than 2 seconds. While pressing the button, the warning light (_!_) lights up. At the same time the memory of the system is erased and the new calibration is started, which is confirmed with an audible signal and then the warning light (_!_) goes out.
 If the warning light (_!_) does not go out after the basic setting, there is a fault in the system. Have the vehicle inspected by your nearest specialist garage.

I find when a wheel is pulled off the low tyre presure system needs too be reset. You'll find the reset button in the glove box on the right side of the roof of it. Turn the ignition on and hold the button in till it beeps.
