Hi guys,picked up my new RLine 1.5dsg up yesterday just getting my brain frazzled looking through the manuels.
Was wandering what tyre pressures you find the most comfortable, also is it possible to view the actual tyre pressure through the TPS monitors or do you only get a warning if the readings come out of the tolarences?
Thanks in advance.

Basically means you can go between 33 and 38 then for the best of both worlds, that's what I would do. 😁

Haven't a clue what mines at have never checked since I got it.
I would make a point of checking them then vernerbongo2, as in what seems to be the majority of cases dealers leave them over inflated on delivery. Mine were all over the recommended pressures and no two were the same. Reset them to the recommended pressure and the car drove so much better
Just checked my pressures today and sure enough the pressure's were 40psi.
Ive made comments in previous posts as to how firm the suspension is, I'll have to see what difference 35psi now make?
Might even take the pressure down more as I'm the only one ever in the car.
You were spot on hawkeye 😉

Just to update this thread with my own experience after taking delivery of my 1.5 DSG R-Line last week.

The tyre pressure label on the B-Pillar is exactly the same number (2GA 010 000A) as posted by Barnaclebob for his 1.5 SEL DSG which has 18" rims and 45 profile tyres. The pressures on my label are also (as you would expect) exactly the same as posted by Barnaclebob, despite my car having 19" rims and 40 profile tyres.

I checked my cold tyre pressures first thing on the morning after I collected the car. On one side both tyres were at 34.5 psi, while on the other side both were at 35 psi. So my dealer seems to have done a good job, or the tyres were never over inflated by the factory.

With regards to a different thread on the brand of tyre, my car is fitted with Bridgestone Potenza 225/40R19

Can you tell which spare wheel you have. The label you have displayed makes mention of a 18" unit but yours being the R Line runs on 19" rims. Is it still the 18" spare?

I'll check it out when I get the chance, but according to the label the spare is a 70 profile (ie taller side-walls) so that compensates for the smaller 19" rim.

I checked my spare wheel this morning and the tyre is indeed 125/70 R18. I also measured the diameter across the tyre and compared with one of the road wheels. The spare is just under 1" less in diameter, which I suppose is hardly surprising.

This reinforces the advice that these temporary spare wheels should be used only for as long as it takes to drive to a tyre fitter for tyre repair or replacement, and speed should be restricted.

The Owner's Manual contains the following precautions when using a temporary spare wheel;
