This is my second TDI. I still have a 2001 Beetle 5 speed TDI and now just bought our 2015 Passat 6MT TDI SE with 46K. I just bought at a smaller used car lot. The TPMS light was on. Salesman said they got the car with the stock black steel (hubcap style) wheels and they put on a set of "after market" 18" wheels with brand new tires. I really like the wheels and to be honest I found the car online and what set this car apart was the slick looking wheels. They are brand new but have a VW emblem in the center. Maybe not aftermarket but I've never seen these before. Anyways... I test drove the car and the TPMS light was on the dash. I asked the salesman and he said that they put new wheels on the car and must have not put the sensors in the new wheels. He then says that I am welcomed to also take the 4 tires/wheels that came off the car and swap out the sensors.
I was just reading something and apparently the 2015's don't use TPMS sensors and take a reading from the ABS wheels speed sensors, correct? If so then Just push the reset button in the glovebox and the light should go off, correct?
Thanks
