I have been doing some searching on this and I'm struggling to get a positive answer
Car-2012 B7 Sport 140 estate
I want to rotate my rear wheels to the front then put the spare from the boot (unused) on one rear side and a new tyre on the other rear side.
Been to two tyre places and two VW places today and nobody seems able to conclusively say what I can and can't do.
VW employ two types of system from what I can gather from the manual
1- indirect is ABS based ("tyre monitor display" in the manual- this is the one with the calibration button/MFD calibration)
2- direct is a sensor in the wheel ("TPMS" in the manual, says it doesn't use a button).
My question- the lack of reset button and the MFD options I have suggest its #2, so assuming this is the case, can I just rotate the wheels or do they need to be "programmed" if I do?
