Under Pressure
 

Just bought a new tyre pump from Argos, its even got a digital gauge, with auto cut off.



I was going to stick, the Front and Rear pressures of my WRX and VW Golf on it so I don’t have to go scrating around for the correct pressures in PSI every time.



The listing in the golf hand book was in BAR not PSI





Can anybody tell me if you can get that chart online, that you see near air pumps in garages??????



I am looking for:

Golf 16SL

175/80R14 88H Dulop



Impreza WRX

215/45/ZR17 91Y Yokohama AVS

Thanks Scoobydaddy :)

WRX (Bugeye) 17 Inch Standard Wheels. Front 33PSI (3.3 Bar) and Back 32 PSI (3.2Bar) - this inflation rate is per manual and sticker inside my MY01 Bugeye and is applicable for all loading factors - that is either just two front passengers or fully loaded and luggage in boot.

I have got a MY03 WRX 5 door, not sure which of the above mine is but nothing about 3.3 & 3.2 bar

Confused - HELP!

Nothing about tyre pressure on here, or have I missed something?

Pmarch:

33 psi = 2.27527 bar

32 psi = 2.206322 bar



The PSI is correct to my manual, but the BAR is wrong, something wrong with your figures M8 ?



It seems Europe (VW) are using BAR, and others (Subaru) use PSI

1 bar is 14.5 psi though isn't it? not 10 psi ;)

Yes this has been a strange, you would have thought a simple question, regarding safety had an easy answer.

I was not sure if different manufacturers gave different pressure ratings
As for the PSI – BAR thing, thought I was going mad.

Seems Europe are well mad, it’s hard to spot the engine size VW Golf in the manual, its not listed as 1.6SE but as 74 KW Petrol engine.

But now I have both pressures stuck on the pump in PSI. :)
