Yep!

.... Golf 5 / 2008 with button.

The button looks correct and wires in fine BUT I have not put the wire through to the ABS unit at PIN 35 yet to see if it works.

Re: Retro-fit Flat Tyre Indicator

I have to say that I still have not got around to fitting the ABS wire..... (although I can not confirm it will work - the info. is just based on the wiring diagram!)

Sorry!

Re: Flat Tyre indicator - Retrofit

Andy was kind to provide the wiring diagram and it does appear to be PIN 35 on the ABS unit.

If it works or not is a different matter!

Not had chance to install the wire to the ABS unit - may have chance next weekend.

Re: Flat Tyre indicator - Retrofit

Hi Andy! Thanks for the quick reply! So its PIN 35 for 2.0TSI with DSG on the ABS plug... ?? What about without DSG? Is it the same?? Any chance you could post a picture of the diagram you got this from and confirm the ABS controller part number that is used for PIN 35 just in case it is different? ...

Re: Flat Tyre indicator - Retrofit

Managed to make a start on the retrofit of the TPMS switch but did not manage to complete it. :( Fitting the switch is no issue at all in the centre console and routing the ABS control unit wire from the switch into the engine bay is easy as well. There is a large bundle of wires in the passenger fo...

Re: Flat Tyre indicator - Retrofit

I purchased the kit from Kufatec for the Golf 5 - seems to be the same switch and the wiring looks good for the Scirocco - seemed to be the easiest and quickest way to get the bits needed! http://www.kufatec.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p907_TPMS---Tire-Pressure-Monitoring--Harness-VW-Golf-5-Golf-5...

Re: Flat Tyre indicator - Retrofit

Cool! Thanks for the confirmation! :)

I saw in some diagrams that the control unit was on the left (looking at the engine from the front of the car)... there appears to be two units that look ABS like on the ROC - on the left and the right...
