Low tire pressure on the VW Tiguan: experiences and suggested solutions from the workshop

Hello, I had a similar problem with my VW Touareg (diesel, year of manufacture 2008). I'm more of a layman in the car sector, but I can tell you about my experience. It all started when I had a problem with my tire pressure. I then drove straight to my garage. After some time and inspection, they said that the component described was possibly defective (or something like that). It ended up costing me 625 euros, but I haven't had any more problems since. To help you more specifically, perhaps you could give me some more information about your car. Do you drive a lot in the city or on the highway? How old are your tires? Any information could be helpful. Hope this helps you!

Hey, thanks for your quick reply! I mostly ride in the city and on country roads, rarely on the highway. I changed my tires almost 2 years ago, so they are not that old. My Tiguan currently has 112370 km on it and the last service was about 6 months ago. I hope this helps you with your assessment. Thanks again for your help!

Hey, no problem, you're welcome! If you mainly ride in the city and on country roads, this can put a little more wear on your tires, especially if the roads are uneven. Even though your tires are only 2 years old, it never hurts to check them for damage anyway. It could be that you've hit a sharp object somewhere that has caused a small tear or puncture, even if it's not immediately visible. I would recommend that you first check the pressure of your tires with a tire pressure gauge and inflate them to the prescribed pressure if they are too low. Then you could watch them to see if the pressure drops again. If it's still dropping, it might not be a bad idea to go to a garage and get it checked out. It could be something serious or not, but it's better to be safe than sorry, I think. By the way, the price I mentioned was just an estimate, it could be totally different for you depending on what the problem is. I hope this helps! And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Better safe than sorry!

Hey, thanks again for the other tips! I'll follow your advice and get a tire pressure gauge first and keep a close eye on the situation. If the pressure continues to drop, I will visit a garage. You're right, better safe than sorry. Thanks again for your time and help! This concludes the conversation. Maybe until the next problem, hopefully not too soon. Stay healthy!

Good day, I'm seeking advice on low tire pressure issues with my 2012 VW Polo, which has 125,000 km on it. Have you experienced this problem, and what solutions worked for you? Any tips or recommendations for reliable fixes would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Start by checking your tire pressure with a tire pressure gauge and inflate them to the recommended pressure if they are too low. Monitor the pressure over a few days to see if it drops again. If it does, inspect your tires for any visible damage like cuts, punctures, or embedded objects. If the pressure continues to drop, it's best to have your tires checked by a professional mechanic as there could be a slow leak or other issues that are not easily visible. Remember, driving with low tire pressure can be dangerous and negatively affect your car's handling and fuel efficiency.
