They're increasingly noisy and the traction and lateral grip they give is shocking compared to what I was used to, and that was coming from a 260+bhp FWD with no diff! I can't wait to get rid of them.

This was on the Bridgstone Potenzas the car came from the factory with. I changed all four tyres to Michelin Pilot Sport 4's several months ago and haven't had a single false warning since. Can't say for definite that it was something odd with the Bridgestones causing the false alarms, but it's an interesting coincidence that it hasn't returned since changing them.. Mine's a GTI-P on 18" stock wheels.

Every time it has popped up I've had a slow puncture, picking up screws/nails from site visits. So I've faith in the system working, just curious as to why it would flash all four. I might just ring the garage as I have the squeak coming from the front right as well.

JoeA3 wrote: » Yeah ABS sensor... detects a change in the rotation of the tyre. It should tell you which tyre is the problem - at least mine does. Sometimes it is just a false alarm.
Ron Burgundy II wrote: » How does the tire pressure monitoring system work on the Golf? Does it work using the ABS sensor? I got a warning a few days ago, for all four tires. All tires are fine no signs of a slow puncture.

It looks like prets are available as part of that pack, they also have pilot sport cup 2 tyres, he mantioned semi slicks and you can see they are Michelin tyres on that car. The Geneva car had Pirelli semi slicks. So wheels and track tyres, clubsport brakes, rear spoiler and derestricted, still poor value but making a bit more sense for the £2300 asking price. I've a feeling DCC cars with the performance pack will get a unique setting similar to the Nurburgring setting on the clubsport S. The exhaust sound is a bit flat too, cheaper aftermarket ones sound much better.
JoeA3 wrote: » Yeah... It occurred to me that the "performance pack" is priced at around £2,300 in the UK, it includes the 19's (a £900 option in UK) which are standard here. So it's more like £1400 for the other few bits.
