Left for work yesterday and the steering felt funny. First thing that came to mind was that I had a flat. But decided to drive on as I have a flat tyre indicator! So I drove for another 100m then decided to look around. Rear left tyre was flat (which coincidentally was the same one that went flat in my Golf GTI Mk5 after 3 months). So much for an indicator. Changed to the bicycle tyre and went straight to the tyre shop.

No nail on first inspection but a pinhole leak was discovered in the bath. Tyre shop reckon it was there from Day 1 slowly emptying out. Tyre manufacturing fault? Well, thank goodness I discovered the flat as the tyre is not easily available and they were able to fit it.

So why didn't the sensor not pick it up? Is my ABS faulty or did the $2,000 dealer delivery not include a reset of tyre sensor?
