Having had this system on several VAG cars, up until recently I would have agreed with people for whom the system has worked correctly. However, current work motor ( 16 Passat) has developed an annoying fault in that the two rear tyres take it in turns to flag up alarms. Pressures are checked, and they are fine. Reset it, will be ok for miles, then , ping, off it goes again. Has been back to dealers ( who are fkn useless but that's another story ) who said they couldn't find anything wrong. All this started after I had a puncture on the o/s/r which system did pick up tbf, although tyre was destroyed
