Seeking Advice on Troubleshooting Constant Low Tire Pressure Warning in a 2014 VW Golf Plus

Hey there! I had a similar hitch with my 2012 VW Jetta running on diesel, so we've got something in common. I'd say I have some experience with cars, not a pro or anything, just picked up things here and there. Turns out my issue was a drained sensor battery. So, after some back and forth with my trusty workshop, we decided to get it replaced. That cost me about 280 Euro, give or take. Though, it may not be the exact problem with your Golf Plus, but it's a start. Could you let me know if your tire pressure readings are constantly low or do they fluctuate? It'd help me give some more targeted advice. Good luck with it!

Hey, thanks for your input! It's those little bits and pieces that really help. The tire pressure readings seem to be constantly low and it doesn't seem to fluctuate much. I was thinking along the same lines as you, about the battery possibly being the culprit. Looks like a trip to the garage and a chat with my mechanic is in the cards. Did your garage take long to sort out your issue? I've put around 58471 km on my Golf Plus since the last service.

Hey, nice to see the information was helpful! Constant low pressure readings do suggest that it's probably not a leak, but more something technical with the system, like the sensor's battery, as we thought. For my Jetta, it didn't take particularly long. I left my car in the morning, and had it back by closing time. So assuming it is a drained battery, it should be quite straightforward for your mechanic and you shouldn't be without your Golf Plus for too long. Also, for the mileage you've put on since the last service, it might line up just right for a sensor battery replacement. Keep us posted on how it all goes. Good luck!

Awesome, thanks for getting back to me. You've been a great help! The fact that it shouldn't take very long does put my mind at ease. I guess I'll be scheduling an appointment with my garage soon then, and fingers crossed it's that straightforward. You're right about the service being due too, I definitely don't want to risk running an over mileage car. I'll let you guys know how it pans out. Cheers!
