Thanks for your reply. The car doesn’t have a TPMS button, when I have a flat tyre , no light appears on the cluster either. Scanned the car with vcds and there are 0 fault codes. Iv been told it can be activated as it detects it from abs/wheel speed, and I have the correct abs module, when I ticked the box on vcds, it accepted the coding and the light should appear on ignition but it doesn’t - any ideas?

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Im no expert with electronics, but it sounds like you are missing some of the components to make the system work (eg the button in the glovebox to set the pressures + possibly more).
Someone like kamold who is the electronics retrofitting king on here might be able to offer some guidance.

Hi,i had the same problem,you need to activate TPMS Warning/Monitoring in Instrument Cluster 17,then the light will work when you put IGN ON.
