The https://www.tpms.com/Huf_RDE048V21_TPMS_sensor_p/rde048v21.htm lists as 433 MHz which was from 2015 onwards . . .

Thanks for that NoobyT. If you look through the VW #'s it replaces at that site you provided it shows the VW # the parts guys (VW parts site) say fits my vehicle which is also 433MHz. Pics from that site w/OE VW part# highlighted in red.

Even the Huf website shows that this # TPMS fits years '07-'15.

But isn't your car 2011 not 2015 therefore using the 3xx mhz and not the later 433?

 

[New2Tregs]

According to every website I check, my vehicle uses 433 MHz.

I put a set of mounted Blizzaks from a 2015 on my 2013 and... nothing. The display says they aren't there. I guess this is why.

Can you "suspend" the tpms system for use with Winter wheels through Vagcom? I have done a search and it appears you can on the older T2's but can't find any definitive details on T3's. Been driving for 40 years and have not really had any issues with tires going flat. Like most on this site, we are pretty in tune with our vehicles and their driving characteristics.

Let us know how it goes.


CARid who are a site sponsor sell a two frequency TPMS valve operating on either 315 or 433.

I checked out the site in the link you provided in reference to the dual frequency sensor. It appears that it needs to be programmed as to which frequency to use.
I've definitively confirmed that 2011-2014's use the OE VW part# 7PP907275F. I grabbed a pic of the OE sensor and when I zoom in on it I can definitely see that part # sensor is a 433 MHz. I attached the pic.

I'm headed to my indie mechanic today and I'll report back w/the results.

Touareg 2011-2014

Check build sheet for PR-7K3 or PR-7K4.

433 MHz (PR-7K3) 7PP 907 275 F
315 MHz (PR-7K4) 7PP 907 275 G

I have the build sticker that was near the spare tire and no where do either one of those appear.

These VW stickers contain limited information. You need full PR codes VIN decoding.
The following sentences will be in the sheet:
"7K3 Tire pressure control, frequency 433 MHz high level version"
or
"7K4Tire pressure control, frequency 315 MHzhigh level version"

That's great but unfortunately there are no free easy way to get the full PR codes online.

Call in at your local VW dealer and ask them to print off the build sheets, also called data sheets, for your car. I've lost count of the number of times I've posted this advice, but every owner should get them - several pages of useful info!


Hopefully, it might show even the TPMS code!

100%.


I have the following info printed in my build sheet:


7K0 Without tire pressure warning light.

Yeah I'm struggling to find the correct sensor for my 2015. Been looking at the Huf OE replacement. They list 2007-2015 up to 5/31/3015 as RDE011V21 and 2015-2016 after 6/2015 as RDE018V21. Since I have spare wheels with sensors for a 2013 in them, I'm thinking of ordering the RDE018V21 and saying a little prayer.
This is the reference chart I'm going off

OK for S&G's I called the local VW parts dept. They confirmed 433MHz for my Treg based on my VIN#.

Got the new tires and sensors mounted. Before the mechanic even got the vehicle
pulled out of the shop the pressure for each tire was reading accurately for each wheel... without even using any programming tool. He even thanked me for buying those sensors because they are "The Best". His words not mine.
So to reiterate that was Huf RDE048V21 433MhZ that I used on my 2011 Treg and they worked flawlessly right out of the gate.

Open your drivers door and look for the stickers on the bottom right under the door pillar. Mine listed the manufacture date. Hopefully yours does as well. If not call your local VW parts/service dept and tell them your trying to figure out the manufacture date of your Treg and see if they can help based on your VIN#.

For a manufacture date in the last half of 2015 Huf lists the RDE047V21 as well.

Good. At least we now know that VW used 315 and 433 but in different markets for several years!

I wonder if they now only use 433 worldwide . . .

I have a Canadian 2014 and I just bought a used set of aftermarket rims with Nokian rotiiva AT tires. The set does not have tpms. I’d like to know before I put these tires/wheels on how the 2014 will react to no tpms sensors present, if there are nag screens or other issues that will be problematic for an upcoming long trip.

Thanks for the help.

David.

No drama or anything. The system just turns off, so you won't get any readings or warnings. I have the same scenario going on with mine and my winter setup... only the summers have sensors.

 

[vwDavid]

Thanks Turbo ABA. nice to know it turns off and doesn't nag...
