Tire pressure monitoring system of the 2017 VW Touareg: experiences and solutions

Tire pressure to low

Hey guys, I need your help. My 2017 VW Touareg with gasoline engine and just over 218,000km constantly shows me that the tire pressure is too low. Could this be due to a fault in the tire pressure monitoring system? Has anyone here had similar experiences and can perhaps tell me how it went at the mechanic? After my last visit there, I'm a bit unsure. Thanks in advance!

Hey, no problem buddy. My 2014 VW Touareg used to have similar problems. It kept saying the tire pressure was too low, even after I checked and topped off the tire pressure several times. This was definitely not a minor problem and required a more thorough investigation. In fact, it was a fault in the tire pressure monitoring system. The mechanics had to replace the sensors and give the system a proper check and recalibration. Your next step would be to drive to the nearest garage and have the condition checked - the sooner the better to avoid further damage. Good luck with that!

Hey, thanks for the quick reply! Sounds exactly like my problem. Do you remember roughly what you paid for it? And was the tire pressure issue completely off the table after that or were there any other surprises? Thanks again for your help!

Hey, you're welcome! So the whole thing wasn't that expensive. I paid a total of €255 to have the antenna tire pressure monitoring system repaired. Since I had the mechanic do it, the tire pressure issue was completely resolved. No further surprises or extras. So it really helped, I can tell you. So, don't worry and get on with it! Good luck with it!

Great, thanks for your help! That's a real load off my mind. I'll take my VW to the garage tomorrow and mention your feedback. Hopefully everything will go just as smoothly for me. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Wish me luck!

It's possible that the tampering indication could be due to a number of things, such as changes to the vehicle's software or hardware. It could also be a false positive. I would recommend having a professional mechanic inspect the vehicle to ensure everything is in order.

How to reset Audi a3 tyre pressure sensor

To reset the tire pressure sensor on your Audi A3, follow these steps: 1. Inflate all tires to the recommended PSI. 2. Turn on the ignition, but don't start the engine. 3. Press the "CAR" button on the infotainment screen. 4. Select "Systems" then "Tire Pressure Monitoring". 5. Click on "Store Tire Pressures" or "Set" to reset the system. Remember, if the warning light doesn't turn off after these steps, there might be a problem with the sensor itself or the tire pressure. In this case, it's best to have it checked by a professional mechanic.

Hello, so in my case the tire was not mounted correctly on the rim. That's why I had air loss
