woke up this morning after 1 week ownership of my fabia 1.4 16v and thought i check the levels and the tyre pressures.

topped up the engine oil then looked at the sticker on the fuel cap for the tyres pressure's but the measurements are in kpi (starts with k )

i have 2 tyre pressure pens one reads bar the other psi.

how do i work the pressures out or do i have to get a new tyre pressure pen ?

thanks

It's metric (kpA).... see http://www.skoda.co.uk/skoda3g/content/extras/faq/faq.aspx?QuestionID=103 for how to convert

Run my tires on 32psi usually...

thanks for the help.good job i checked the rear drivers side was well down !

Although you're meant to check every day (or trip ??!) I try to check at least once a week, or when going on a bit of a trek somewhere.

Also check when you are going to load the car with loads of heavy stuff (coins to pay for the fuel perhaps ) or afterwards (too take the pressure back down again).

For track-use, what do you guys use pressure wise?
