Tyre Pressures

Within the next 2/3 weeks I'm going to fit my winter wheels and tyres to my 'Roc. However I'm not sure what tyre pressures to run.
Tyres are Yokohama W.drive 205/55 R 16
Anyone got any ideas? Thanks

There isn't anything officially listed in the maintenance manual for the 16 inch wheel on a Scirocco, only 17,18 & 19 inch.
My tank flat only covers 17 - 19 inch.
Golf Mk6 for 205/55/16 is 32psi half load, 36psi full load. Thats from a tank flap label. This is for a 1.4TSi 160PS weight of Golf, same weight as a 1.4TSI 160PS Scirocco. So for diesel with the slight weight increase, I'd expect a little more on both readings.

Cheers for that, I'll go for 32-34psi and take it from there.

I have the same issue, I want to check the pressures on the tyres fitted but I am not sure what they should be, gone from a 19" to a 17" wheel. What is the best way of working out what the pressures should be?

Stock 17" pressure is 33 all round.
