No sensors in the wheels. It uses the abs sensor to determine difference in wheel speed. When the pressure In a wheel drops about 8psi its enough of a difference in circumference to detect and it flicks the light on. So it's not stand alone and would take them more time and money to write in the programming to display which wheels flat. Hence the cheap light system.

Interesting. I've driven a Tahoe with an actual pressure sensor, which not only told me which tyre, but gave me the pressure readout so when I saw it dropping over a few Ks I knew it was serious.

As for ABS sensor info - I would still imagine that the car knows "wheel x" has a different circumference. Knowing which tyre is causing an issue is a lot easier than filling the tyres to recommended pressure, driving for a while, seeing a light, and checking all 4 sensors again.
As it turns out I had a nail in my back left. BUT since I had a tyre-pump connection issue with the front left, it may be another few drives before I find out if I have a similar leak there.

You guys jinxed me.

Did you really take a photo at 90km/h?

Anyone here ever had this,error codeP0304 Code - Cylinder #4 Misfire on there Polo GTi. Ive had the engine light come on a couple of times before and just reset it with my apr tune but now i have been able get the code of my ecu.
Cheers

The abs system does no which wheel is different it's just vw saving money by not writing it into the program for the mdf to show you which one. Remember there different systems linked by one box that allows them to ask for info of each other. the dash can't ask the abs a question it doesn't know how to ask it

I'm pretty sure Gavs has with his tuned engine as well. He broke traction in wet weather, it over revved and cut the cylinder and displayed the fault code misfire and cyl deactivation. Could also be that oil is fowling the plugs...

Mine was traction control related as I have been able to replicate it again for purely scientific purposes, of course mine was on 3 out of the 4 cylinders too from memory...

When i lived in melbourne and got the tune, my car continuously went into limp mode(early 2012) and apr had to do a specific file just for my car for the stage 1 tune.It stopped the limp mode but the engine light still comes on every now and then, just reset it with the tune.Car runs fine and has been like this for 30 000km.
I assume thats what u get for living in darwin now as no one will go near vws up here except for a cat back exhaust that i got.Just when i upgrade to an Mk7R i would like the problem fixed

Mine had nothing to do with the tune whatsoever, mine was because it was pouring rain and for a laugh I thought I'd do a 0-100kph time. The traction control and subsequent gearchange during the run caused the engine to miss-fire too many times and it logged the fault code. Turned off and on again, no check engine light, no miss-fires and it was all good once i cleared the error codes.

For the record, 6.9 seconds with a Viezu stage 2 tune in torrential rain
