Tire Pressure Question...

[woodranch]

I just received my car yesterday and I am stoked.What a beautiful machine.My question is when I received the car the I checked the tire pressure when I got home: the fronts where 37 and rears where 35.Well I changed them to 45 front and 41 rears just like the sticker says.My question is why didn't the TPMS go off if the pressure was so low or do I need to set it myself again ,now that I added air?

If you have a way to "reset" the computer to standardize the new tire pressures, I'd like to hear about it. Mine won't let me do that.

I do know from lots of experience with the V10 that I don't get TPMS warnings until the pressure gets down to about 34 psi. Always happens driving home from the track, when the tires cool down enough.

Pics of your new ride, please?

Although you raise a question about tire sensors, you should know that not all members of this forum agree with Audi listed recommendations for tire pressure of 45/41. See this earlier thread for discussion:
