Title: PSI
Post by: ReeceH13 on October 01, 2012, 12:32:26 pm

Hey

Warning light came on (tyre pressure low on one tyre)

Set them all to 37, (what the garage set them to on service) but the light is still on - Should they be higher/lower?

back 2 are Conti Sport 3's and the front two are soeme budget tyres, no idea of the size but have Monza 2 18"

Any thoughts would be great!!  :happy2:

Your tyres should be set to 35psi or 2.4bar all round.  Have you reset the TPS by pushing and holding the button till it chimes and a light appears on the dash board?
