Hey Guys,
I have a query about the GTi TCS and new wheels I've bought. As it happens, the tyre pressure gauge doesn't work with my new wheels - which isn't really an issue - I check the pressure regularly.
What is of concern is that now I wheel spin and the TCS doesn't kick in. I don't get any TCS light flashing (as I did with the stock wheels on hard accelaration). The TCS light is off during normal driving and the wheels spins out now.
Are the tyre pressure sensors anyway linked to the TCS detectors? I wouldn't have thought so, but can't think of why I'm wheel spinning without the TCS doing what it's meant to be doing.. I figure as soon as I take it back to the dealer, they'll say something about the new wheels.
...............
Anyone interested in my stock wheels and tyres (Continentals)? Tyres have only done 5,000km and 1000 of those were my tip toe-ing the car around while running-in the engine.
