Thanks for advice. As said above the tyres' are not a very good brand even though there is good tread remaining i don't think it's worth the risk. But as i have now decided to have the 4 fully refurbished i will ask the tyre bay to thoroughly inspect them when they are removed.
Does anyone have any actual weight measurements? I have the 17s and they are rather scuffed and quite like the idea of using 15s if they are improve the ride.I totally agree, they are so light !!! I nearly hit myself in the face with one the first time I lifted a pepperpot wheel.
I have fitted them to an occasional A2 in the past (which is unusual for someone who prefers 17" plus wheels.)
the weight difference between a pepperpot and a 9 spoke 17" is HUGE !!!!

You may find that these disappear when cleared. The error codes are only removed after you (or a previous owner) has cleared them. So these could be from something that has since been corrected.Today I received my KKL VCDS cable from Gendan ...
I installed the drivers from Gendan's website and the VCDS Lite software from Ross-Tech onto a second hand Asus Netbook that I bought a while ago for this purpose and followed the idiot proof instructions.
Unregistered at the minute but will upgrade to the licensed version very soon, now that I know it works ....
Started the scan and was pleasantly surprised, although the shareware version is limited, it went through each screen and it came up with two faults.
00287 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor, Right Rear (G44)
003 - Mechanical Failure - Intermittent
00290 - As above - Left Wheel (G46)
Not sure if the licensed version checks for more faults but not a bad reading for an eighteen year old car. Well chuffed!!
All the best ... Tom

A first scan of a car can sometimes be a shock, depending on when the error codes were last cleared.
VCDS is a nice tool to have.

Cheers Steve ... will give it some thought ... would like to do the Skoda as well.Decisions, decisions?
See how you get in with it, I went for the 10 VIN one and then upgraded to unlimited VINs.
You can always find someone that needs a VCDS scan or basic configuration change. Very satisfying when you can help!

there's a set of weights listed over on the German site (if not on the wiki). around 18-20 kg for the sport wheels with 205/40R17. I'd expect around 14-15kg for 185/60R15 on pepperpots. They're cheap and light.Does anyone have any actual weight measurements? I have the 17s and they are rather scuffed and quite like the idea of using 15s if they are improve the ride.
