there are no sensors, the system works on the ABS sensors measuring the wheel speed so don't worry :happy2:

The TPMS on the MK5 works via the ABS system so doesnt have sensors  :happy2:

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.
