Volkswagen Golf / Golf GTI / Golf Variant. Manual — part 877
The tire mobility kit is located in the tool compartment -3- in the
luggage compartment on the left side.
The tire mobility kit contains a bottle of tire sealant -1- and a com‐
pressor -2-.
Tire sealant in the bottle has a limited storage life.
Therefore the minimum shelf life date is marked on the bottle
-1-.
Replace tire sealant when minimum shelf life date has been
reached (tire sealant must not be older than 4 years).
If the bottle was opened, for example, for a punctured tire, it must
also be replaced.
Observe the disposal regulations. Refer to
⇒ “1.6 Tire Sealant, Disposing”, page 292
.

2.1
Tire Pressure Monitoring System De‐
scription
General Information
The tire pressure monitoring system is included in the software in
the ABS Control Module - J104- . The system will recognize a
slow and gradual decrease in tire pressure on a wheel. Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) memory faults for tire pressure monitoring
are stored in the ABS Control Module - J104- . With the help of
the ABS speed sensors, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) compares the speed and rolling circumference of the in‐
dividuals wheels.
After the following work and/or changes and with the ignition
switched on, the Tire Pressure Monitoring Display Button - E492-
must be pressed until the confirmation chime sounds:
♦ Change in the tire pressures
♦ A change in one or more tires
♦ Changing a tire, for example, from front to rear
♦ Removing or installing one or multiple tires
If the rolling circumference of a wheel changes, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Display Indicator Lamp - K220- lights up in the instru‐
ment cluster. The rolling circumference can change by:
♦ Insufficient tire pressure
♦ Structural damage on tires
♦ Vehicle is loaded heavily on one side
♦ High load on one axle, when towing trailer for example
♦ When snow chains are used
♦ Spare wheel is mounted
♦ One wheel is replaced
System Malfunction in the Anti-Lock Braking System
If a malfunction in the ABS is displayed by the ASR/ESP Indicator
Lamp - K155- , then the Tire Pressure Monitoring Display Indica‐
tor Lamp - K220- will also illuminate. A malfunction in the tire
pressure monitoring system has not been stored.
The indicator lamp cannot be turned off. In this case, perform the
following:
– Connect Vehicle Diagnostic Tester and select “Guided Fault
Finding” on the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester .
Follow the instructions on the screen to perform the basic setting.
Basic Setting with the Infotainment System, Performing
– Turn on the ignition.
– Switch on the Infotainment system.

3.1
Axle Alignment Information
Wheel alignment must only performed using VW/Audi-approved
wheel alignment equipment.
Wheel alignment checks must always include both the front and
rear axles.
– Perform the alignment using the wheel alignment computer.
The wheel alignment computer has all the information for the ve‐
hicle alignment.
Note
♦
An alignment should not be done until the vehicle has been
driven 1,000 to 2,000 km (621 to 1242 miles), since it takes
this long for the coil springs to settle.
♦
The individual specifications should be followed as exactly as
possible when making adjustments.
♦
If adjustments were performed on the suspension, check if the
driver assistance systems must be calibrated.
Vehicles pulling to one side and vehicles involved in an accident
The cause for this could be that steering rack in steering gear
does not stand exactly in the center when steering straight ahead.
The steering support may pull slightly to the left or to the right.
The result is a vehicle which pulls to the side.
If a vehicle is aligned due to a complaint “vehicle pulls to one side
or pulls askew”, center position of steering rack must always be
checked.
3.2
Test Prerequisites
• Check suspension, wheel bearing and steering for excessive
play and damage.
• Tread depth difference may be no more than 2 mm on an axle.
• Tires inflated to prescribed pressure
