Hi.

So I drove over something and got a flat (front passenger). Put the spare on, got the tire patched then put it back on but the tire kept leaking so had to repeat a few times. Eventually I got 2 replacement tires, everything has pressure in it, nothing seems to be leaking. BUT, the tire pressure warning is still coming on every time I drive. Sometimes it goes off for a while then comes back on. The light doesn't look like the one in the manuals or on the web that I've seen so far. Its like a tire cut out with a puncture at the bottom and like a fountain pouring out the top to indicate a flat punctured tire with air leak.

I never knew I had TPMS because I can't see it in the cluster computer menu. There is no reset or change tire options or anything at all referring to tires in that cluster computer menu.

How do I get rid of that warning light because its really annoying me? [headbang]

In Houston and don't have a Vag Com btw... Its a 2007 auto B7 Quattro

Thanks

Are you sure it's the TPMS/low pressure light? There's only one type of warning light for that. You seem to be describing the windshield washer fluid level warning.

Definitely washer fluid. But don't worry everyone does it. If you google volcano symbol+audi or VW you will find many threads of people asking what it is.

Whatever you do, don't use RainX 2-in-1...that stuff leaves a slimy residue on your wiper fluid sensor and causes the warning light to stay on. It's also a PITA to access the sensor and wipe it off.
