Seat Arosa Tire Pressure and Steering Problems

I'm experiencing an issue with my 2002 Seat Arosa diesel. The tire pressure warning light is on, but I've also noticed the ABS lamp lights up, the steering wheel vibrates, and it takes more effort to steer. Could this be related to the tire pressure, or is it something else?

Sounds like you might have a slow air leak somewhere. I had similar symptoms on my Arosa a while back. Have you checked the tire pressure in all your tires? A punctured tire could also cause pressure loss.

Yes, I inflated tires to the correct pressure, but the warning light came back on after only a short drive. And the steering issues are still there. What exactly was the issue with yours?

The light coming back on after inflating is a key detail. My issue was a defective valve in one of the tires, causing slow pressure loss. It eventually messed with the power steering system. I'd advise getting it checked at a workshop. The vibrating/shaking steering wheel is another symptom that suggests it's more than just low pressure.

I took it to a shop, and you were right. Defective valve in the tire. Cost me 280€ to get it sorted. Thanks for the help.
