Pressing Tyre Off Wheel Rim - Volkswagen 2004 Golf Workshop Manual

Tyre sets with other specified tyre inflation pressures
If a vehicle is fitted with tyres requiring nominal tyre inflation pres‐
sures other than those specified on the tank flap sticker, these
tyres (second wheel set) can also be monitored with the TPM
system.
Nominal tyre inflation pressures for the second wheel set must be
specified to the system with the Vehicle diagnosis, testing and
information system -VAS 5051B- .
The wheel electronics for the wheels of the second wheel set are
not automatically detected and learned by the TPM system (unlike
the wheel electronics for the wheel set with Volkswagen-ap‐
proved wheel and tyre combinations).
The following work has to be performed to switch to the second
wheel set:
♦ Read ID numbers (IDs) of the wheel electronics (tyre pressure
sensors) prior to installation.
♦ Switch the TPM to wheel set 2.
♦ Enter the necessary nominal tyre pressures and the IDs of the
wheel electronics in the system.

The bead breaker must be positioned no more than 2 cm from
wheel rim flange.
– Remove balance weights and excessive dirt from wheel.
