there are no sensors, the system works on the ABS sensors measuring the wheel speed so don't worry

The TPMS on the MK5 works via the ABS system so doesnt have sensors

Yes, the US GTIs use a sensor inside the rim attached to the valve. They monitor actual tyre pressure vs ours that rely on the ABS sensors that monitors rolling circumference.
