Recommended tyre pressure for 1993 audi 80 - 1992 Audi 80

hi
There is TPMS (tyre pressure monitoring system)
they are inside every tyre. Which tell the car about your tyre pressure. If they have failed or you have recently changed tyres where sensors are not placed properly then light will come on and most likely car will stop, due to safety issue.

Thanks

you should be running 8 ply tyres on the vehicle to carry the maximum load as required by the regulator
The recommended tyre pressure will be on a decal attached to the drivers door ( probably on the door frame under the latch)
Having said all that I recommend 45 psi for the rear and 40 for the front
If you run any less ,the ride will be smoother but if you load the vehicle, the rear tyres are under inflated and prone to failure from overheating
tyres are manufactured to run at a certain pressure due to the construction of the case. Talk to a tyre shop as to the pressure you should be using for the tyres.

The required tyre pressure is established by the amount of load or weight that the tyre is carrying. Over or under inflation can cause excessive tire tread wear. The recommended pressures for your tyres are shown in raised lettering on the sidewall of the tyres.
Depending on what you are towing, you will know how much additional weight is being placed on the cars rear tyres, and you can adjust the pressure accordingly.
Personally, When I am towing, I increase the tire pressures by about 5 psi just to reduce sidewall flexing and create a more stable towing package.
Hope this helps.

What pressures are you running in the tires that are giving you the problem?

Check on the door frame or the door edge itself. It should have a sticker that has recommended tyre pressures for your particular vehicle. If the sticker is gone, then I would recommend calling a dealer to see what the specific tyre pressures are for that vehicle.

with standard tyres that came with the car see below: Standard Front: 28 Rear: 28 Loaded Front:32 Rear: 36

Telephoned Audi Main Dealers around Manchester – Macclesfield very helpful, others either disconnected or not answering. Manual costs £21.85 (inc. VAT) + postage .... Too big to actually download and print, I suspect!

I would check the fuel filter if you haven't already done so.

Is the vehicle fitted with oversized wheels? if so, try recommended tyre and wheel sizes.
