TPMS Warning & Starting Issue

Featured Replies

Sounds weird, but here goes...

2.0 TDI DSG

Yesterday morning I set off up the M1. After about 10 miles, I got a TPMS warning for the LH rear tyre. It was only about a mile to the

next services, so I headed for there in order to check the pressures.

I checked both rear tyres and the LH one was about 0.5psi more than the RH. I thought this was a bit odd, but I reset the pressures in the 'car' menu and went to drive off.

I turned the key to start and the engine fired, but stopped immediately. I tried again and it did the same thing. I then turned the ignition off, turned it back on and it started fine and has been OK since.

Now, thinking about the tyre, I hadn't parked in my usual spot on Sunday, as I'd needed access to the driveway. Where I parked meant that the LH rear tyre was in full sun for a couple of hours on Monday morning.

My thinking is that the pressure in that tyre increased due to the heat and then was reducing slowly as I drove. Feasible?

As to the starting issue, I haven't a clue. I did an OBDeleven scan this morning, but I couldn't see anything obvious.

Any ideas?

TPMS can be a bit finiky sometimes. Quite often had them ping off randomly. Just keep on checking the tyre pressures and crack on.
