why doesn't my 106 tell me it's tyre pressure??! GRRR!

[loukr]

in the manual it tells me to look inside the door, inside the door it says check manual, are peugeot just really stupid or am I not looking properly?? Is there any way of finding out my car's tyre pressure with out going to a garage? it's an Xreg (2000) 1.1 zest 2 106. I don't know if that information will make any difference but hey! please help! xx

depending on tyre size its either 2.2 bar or 2.3 bar.

Iam not sure whether this is true but it should say on the tyre, my Merc s-class does so i dont see why yours shouldnt.

To check your tyre pressures, you're best going to the garage anyway. Check every other time you fill up. The new style electronic inflators at my local Tesco Garage are really easy to use - dial the pressure you want, unscrew the cap on the valve, hold the line on the valve and it chugs away and beeps when its done.
Having exactly the right amount of air pressure is really important to the way the car handles. The pressure marked on the tyre is usually a MAXIMUM pressure and there is no way you need that much !!!

its all very well going to tescos and using their electronic airlines but if you dont know what pressure your tyres take then it aint a lot of use is it? and the question was, what pressure , not which airline was the best.

Sorry I cannot help with your cars tyre pressures except to say Google Peugeot forums, you might get an answer there.

As for using Tesco's or any other garage inflators even if you have the correct pressures for your car there is no guarantee that the inflators will put the correct pressures in your tyres. I have found them to be very innacurate, even 20lbs out!
When you find the correct pressures buy your own quality gauge.

Go to the link on this site (see bottom of page)

Always check your tyre pressures when they are cold and don't rely on the gauges at petrol stations. Invest in a good pump or compressor and a high quality pressure gauge.

Check your tyres at least every 2 weeks and they will reward you with long life.

Happy motoring!
