Slow Leak for a Volkswagen Tiguan

With the sun beating down on us whilst we work, the large Tiguan SUV provided enough shade to cool us down whilst we removed the wheels. The customer had booked well in advance as they had noticed a slow leak coming from one of their wheels (the TPMS sensor had also come on). We enquired about the other tyres and asked how they were wearing as well.

With a bit more information about the situation, we arrived at the job with three tyres as the customer believed the front two needed doing as they were wearing down past the limit. The pre inspection proved that this indeed was the case!

After the pre-inspection, we removed the leaking rear tyre to get a better understanding as to why it was loosing air pressure. It turns out that there was a small hole (the size of a pin) on the inner face of the tyre. As it was in this location, unfortunately it can't be repaired.

The old Continental tyres were removed and replaced with a new set of Sport Contact 5's in the 235/55 R18 size. This matched what the customer had on already!
