I have a 2008 (58) Leon FR Diesel. I was driving at around 55mph this afternoon when the Tyre Pressure warning light came on in the dash. I had never seen the light before so I had to look it up in the manual.
When I got home I checked my tyres, thinking it had a puncture or at the very least a slow puncture, but I put the air compressor onto the front two tyres and both were sitting at 30 PSI. I put a wee bit of air in both to take them to 32 PSI, but neither really needed it.
My wife admitted to "hitting a hole" in the road yesterday, so I feared I had some rim leak but I can't see anything and the tyre pressures do seem fine.
I held the "Tyre Pressure SET" button next to the handbrake and it seemed to go off. I went for a 2 minute drive around the block and it has stayed off, but i'm wondering why it has appeared.
I read on another thread in this forum that this may happen if the sensor is dirty, if this is a likely cause then where will I find the sensor and does it just need a clean with a cloth?
