And just to clarify, a tyre can heat up in as little as half a mile.

....Based on the data my TyreSure TPMS is displaying I've been surprised how long and not how quickly the tyres have taken to heat up. Bear in mind that I'm not ragging it from the word go.

I run 2.2 (32 psi) all round
let us know how you get on ...

No - NEVER run below the manufacturers recommeded setting -which is 35psi front, and 35psi rear!
--- End quote ---
Inside my fuel flap says 2.6 bar front and rear, fully loaded 2.8 and 3.2! :surprised:
Hence I run at around 38 - 40psi.

I think on the other forum, there was a thread on different tyre pressure stickers on identical spec GITs - did you GTI come with 17s as standard?
--- End quote ---
Nope, Edition 30 comes standard on 18's.
--- End quote ---
Doh, my bad - completely forgot you had an Ed30! :ashamed:
I'll go and stand in the corner with the dunces cap on for 15 minutes - is that long enough? :evilgrin:

Anyway, I can't remember if you answered this or not in your original post - do you have to mount any kind of receiver in each wheel arch to pick up the individual wheel sensors? Or are the receivers all self contained in the main unit? :confused:

....A reciever transmitter in each wheel with the valve and not in the wheel arch.
I wrote a review here : - TyreSure Wireless Monitor....

My GTI originally came with 17's and this is the fuel flap info : -

And that is exactly the same sticker I have on mine with factory 18"s ???? Yet there are other stickers too for GTIs???? So has VW c0cked up somewhere? Because the load index for 17" tyres is different from the 18" boots?

Thanks - yes, I knew that your kit had the transmitters in the new valves, which get mounted on the inside of the rim - but when something 'transmits' - then there also needs to be a 'receiver' too.
So on cars with factory fitted 'direct acting TPMS' (direct acting means it measures the actual pressure, rather than uses wheel rotational differences from the wheel speed sensors) such as Renaults, Vauxhalls and Audis - they use those same valve transmitters as you have in your TyreSure kit, but they also have four remote 'antenna' in each wheel arch. So basically, not only are the actual tyre valves 'coded' to the TPMS 'head unit' (for want of a better phrase), but also the wheels are 'positioned' on the vehicle too.
