I just got a new set of tires put on my 2010 Touareg. When I got in it to drive it home at the tire shop I noticed that the TPMS light was on, so I switched over to the TPMS screen. The front tires were showing the correct pressure, but the rear tires both had the little warning triangle next to them.
I went back inside and told the guy from the tire shop, and he told me to pull around and they would reset them again. So a guy comes out and walks around to each tire with a little hand held device, and then told me that they are all reset. I hop in, and notice that the back ones are still not working. I tell the guy......he says something to another guy, and then he says "you just have to drive it and they will reset and start working"....
So I drive the 20 miles home....and they are still not working. I did a little research on the site and it looks some people are able to "re-learn" the sensors by letting the air out of the tires down to 20psi while the car is running, and then running the pressure back up. Tried that....but they still aren't working.
Any other ideas??
