Pressure sensors

Post by J+silva »

Hi I wish you could clarify a doubt. The vw polo has pressure sensors? I am looking to change the rims and the salesmen say that the polo does not have pressure sensors, but i have pressure settings in the radio.

The ABS sensor measures rolling circumference, if it gets smaller (beyond a defined threshold), you get a low pressure warning. No actual sensors in the wheel itself.
