How do I check tire pressure on an Audi A3?

Recently, I was driving my Audi A3 and the steering wheel was significantly pulling to the right. It might have been the road, but I also think that my tires may not be inflated properly. How can I check the tire pressure on my A3?

If your tires are indeed underinflated or overinflated, you should see the tire pressure monitor system (TPMS) illuminated on your dash. This is denoted by a tire with an exclamation point on it. To double-check your tire pressure, either way, follow these simple steps:
  1. Open the driver’s side door of the Audi A3 and look at the door jamb to find the correct PSI. This will vary by the model year.
  2. Locate the valve stem on your tire and unscrew it.
  3. Press the tire gauge onto the valve stem to get a PSI rating.
  4. Fill the tire or deflate the tire as necessary. You can use an air compressor to fill the tire or press the backside of the tire gauge on the valve stem to release air.
With any luck, filling the tires with air should amend the problem. If you want to add another layer of productivity to your day, lower your
