General Maintenance Advice

[Allegiance]

Speaking of sport pack, took the car for a Drive for the hopefully up and coming in the New Year the Polo 6R cruise through Akuna Bay (part of the National parks) TSI owners with the sport pack may find it hard not to give your car some beans as i found out my car stuck to the ground like a bat out of hell.

GTI owners will most likely feel the same thrill.

TPM - I have had to reset mine twice as the left side got slightly lower than the right (bumps, potholes etc).

Isn't the TPM based on the ride height/balance of the vehicle not air pressure in the Tyre?

No, it senses difference in pressure between tyres, so if all 4 tyres are going down at the same rate, it won't tell you.

For the Polo? Uses abs sensors to detect differences in wheel rotation I believe, no sensors in or on wheels.

Exactly right... its really for single tyre deflations.

I guess that;s why they made forums rather then leaving it to some of those Half Brain dead Sales people

Thank you for clarifying that for me
