Our new Q3 is fitted with Goodyear eagle f1 235/40r18 and I checked the pressure on each tyre. They were all 3 bar. This seems higher than recommended. I only checked as one of the front tyres looked a little down. Does anyone know the recommended pressures for these tyres for family driving.

HelloAre you sure the profile is 40? Normally 50 with 18's, the tyres pressures are on the inside of the drivers door for normal and loaded, just check for your tyre size.

Sorry my mistake the tyres are Goodyear eagle f1 235/50 R18. Not sure how accurate my pressure gauge is. I will go and get them checked.

I think you will find that 3bar is about 43/44lbs psi. I checked my tyres a few days after ownership and they had put 38 in all round. It just made me wonder what else they had not done properly on the PDI.

I can think of one other thing-the windscreen on the nearside of the inside when it steams up has the imprint of the transport sticker, about 9inches square. Has anybody got any idea what I can use to get it off. I have tried quite a few things but I have not been successful.

For tyre pressures there is a grey sticker on the edge of the drivers door when you open it.Mine should be 33psi all round.

Thanks for the link to the cleaner. I will get some in due course. The dealer applied Auto Glym life shine cleaner to the car FOC, so I checked the goody bag to see if it contained any, but unfortunately no.

Always good to get the advice of others
