I have the same question. When we bought the Crewbus beginning of 2024 we asked for tyrepressure monitoring. What we have is a system where we have to make sure all the tyrepressures are correct (I presume manually gauging it), and then press set on the infotainment. I recently saw another...
And
Woah, wait on: some misconceptions here (and there seem to be a shit-load about this subject generally so it’s not surprising… the industry have tried to dumb it down to keep it really simple but the result has been a confusing lack of info if you vary from the standard OEM door jamb...
Morning
Recently bought a T6.1 with the 16" Clayton wheels running the Vantra 205/65 all around and despite trying various tyrepressure still find the ride comfort particularly rough. I've come from a car so realise this will contribute in part but are these tyres/wheels known to give a bad...
That is a comparator that I refer to also very useful. It ha all sorts of comparisons including tyrepressures. Changing tyre sizes and constructions may or may not change the tyre or (tire) pressures that one may need to change to when making a change in tyre or wheel. Many who have made...
...repairing and replacing tyres. I guess it is a thankless job, hard going and repetitive. I have nearly always found inaccuracies in tyrepressures and have learnt to check them afterwards and readjust . Over inflation is the norm. I do not recall underinflation. It might stem fro...
With the correct alignment you will get a huge improvement in the tyre wear. The cold tyrepressure setting will also optimise the wear rate depending on the gross vehicle weight and if you are towing a trailer or caravan. For 20” tyres I set 36 psi all round for everyday use but increase the...
Hi All,
I get the following error messages in order:
1. TyrePressure Loss indicator currently not available
2. Error: Start-stop
3. Error: ABS/Stabilisation control (ESC)
These messages all started flashing up a couple of weeks ago and then disappear after about 10mins. At first they were...
Thanks for the input!
Were the factory Clayton’s with the smaller/narrower tyres at 205/65/r16? Those seem to be rated at much higher psi as you mentioned at 61psi at full load.
I’m coming from 48psi and the tyres I’m looking at are the slightly wider ones 215/65/r16 at 51psi
searching though posts on tyre wear, I am running 265 40 R20 lowered. After the first set of tyres I changed to Goodyear Eagle.F1 and 4 wheel laser alignment. Pressure dropped to 38psi but the rear set have done around 8k and are nearly ready for change... What causes the extra fast wear, I...
The pumps that i use run the big risks of blowing a fuse so I always connect direct to +ve and an earth usualy engine hoist ring under the rubber cover or the bonnet shot on the front grill...
VW Self Study Program, Document 541 - TyrePressure Monitoring Program
How often do you check the tyrepressures on your own vehicle?
Answer: like so many drivers, probably rarely and, for example, only before you set out on holiday or when you notice that a tyre has obviously lost pressure.
In...
T6 or T6.1 ?
You can activate indirect TPMS for free (software required) that uses ABS sensors to detect tyre deflation or you can install direct TPMS to get actual pressure values
Between 36-40 is the sweet spot in our testing. 36 has always been spot on with perfect tyre wear, up to 40 when fully loaded. GY F1 is our recommended tyre, but never found an inside with any tyre running this pressure.
44 is too high
...for what they are meant for. When new they are quite quiet but get noisier as the mileage goes up. The other thing to look at is tyrepressures are they correct. Often Off Road tyres are built much tougher than normal road tyres they may have additional bracing and plies they are often XL...
Hi,
I have a T6 T32 with full camper conversion. It has 8J x 17" alloys with 215 x 60 x 17 tyres (Michelin Agilis cross climates) Steve at CRS lowered the van by 60mm with Evo Teknik springs and Koni short shocks. What would you all recommend i set the tyrepressures at?
Thanks,
Gary.
