Breakdown assistance -> Sealing and inflating tyres for Your Volkswagen Transporter Van Seventh Generation (2021-2025)

Sealing and inflating tyres  
Sealing a tyre  
1. Unscrew the cap from the tyre valve.

2. Use the valve core extractor→ Fig. 1  
surface.  
to screw the valve core out of the tyre valve. Place the core on a clean

3. Shake the tyre filler bottle→ Fig. 1  
4. Screw the tyre filler hose→ Fig. 1  
vigorously several times.  
tightly onto the tyre filler bottle in a clockwise direction.

The plastic foil on the plug is pierced automatically.

5. Remove the plug from the tyre filler hose→ Fig. 1  
and place the open end fully on the tyre valve.  
6. Hold the bottle upside down and inject theentire contents of the tyre filler bottle into the tyre.  
7. Remove the empty tyre filler bottle from the valve.

8. Use the valve core extractor→ Fig. 1  
to screw the valve core back into the tyre valve.  
Inflating the tyre  
5
1. Screw the tyre filler hose→ Fig. 2  
of the air compressor tightly onto the tyre valve.

2. Check that the bleed screw→ Fig. 2  
3. Start the engine and let it run.  
is closed.  
1
4. Insert the 12-volt plug→ Fig. 2  
into one of the vehicle's 12-volt sockets (→ Sockets).  
2
5. Switch on the air compressor with the on/off switch→ Fig. 2  
.
6. Run the air compressor until the tyre pressure has reached 2.0 bar – 2.5 bar(29 psi – 36 psi/200 kPa – 250 kPa)  
. Maximale Laufzeit: 8 minutes →  
.
7. Switch off the air compressor.  
8. If a pressure level of 2.0 – 2.5 bar(29 – 36 psi/200 – 250 kPA) cannot be achieved, unscrew the tyre filler hose  
from the tyre valve.  
9. Drive (or reverse) the vehicle approximately 10 metres so that the sealing compound is more evenly distributed  
in the tyre.  
10. Screw the tyre filler hose for the air compressor firmly back onto the tyre valve and inflate the tyre again.  
11. If the required pressure still cannot be reached, the tyre is too badly damaged. The tyre cannot be sealed with  
the breakdown set. Do not drive on. Instead, seek assistance from a suitably qualified workshop → Sealing and  
inflating tyres.  
12. Disconnect the air compressor and unscrew the tyre filler hose from the tyre valve.  
13. Immediately drive on with a speed of no faster than 80 km/h(50 mph) once a tyre pressure of 2.0 bar – 2.5 bar  
(29 psi – 36 psi/200 kPa – 250 kPa) has been reached.  
Check after driving for 10 minutes  
1. Park the vehicle on a firm and level surface at the next safe opportunity, e.g. a car park.

2. Reconnect the tyre filler hose → Fig. 2  
3. 1.3 bar (19 psi/130 kPa) and lower:  
and read the tyre pressure on the tyre pressure display→ Fig. 2  
Do not drive on! The tyre cannot be sealed adequately with the breakdown set.  
Seek assistance from a suitably qualified workshop→  
4. 1.4 bar (20 psi/140 kPa) and higher:  
.
Adjust the tyre pressure back to the correct value.  
Drive carefully to the nearest suitably qualified workshop. Do not exceed a maximum speed of 80 km/h  
(50 mph).  
Have the damaged tyres replaced by a suitably qualified workshop.  
WARNING  
The tyre filler hose and the air compressor can get hot during inflation.  
Protect your hands and skin from hot components.  
Do not place the hot tyre filler hose and the hot air compressor on any flammable materials.  
Allow the device to cool down completely before stowing it.  
WARNING  
If the defective tyre cannot be sealed adequately with the breakdown set, the tyre will lose air when driving. This  
can lead to tyre failure, loss of control of the vehicle, accidents, serious injuries and death.  
If the tyre will not inflate to at least 2.0 bar(29 psi/200 kPa), the tyre is too damaged. The sealant is unable to  
seal the tyre. Do not carry on driving.  
Do not carry on driving if the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar(19 psi/130 kPa) or lower after driving for 10 minutes.  
Ask a suitably qualified workshop.  
NOTICE  
Switch the air compressor off after a maximum of 8 minutes to avoid overheating. Let the air compressor cool down  
for a few minutes before switching it back on.  
Service work and digital service schedule  
Storing the service operations performed (“digital service schedule”)  
The service records are stored in a central system by a suitably qualified workshop or by your Volkswagen Commercial  
Vehicles partner. This transparent documentation of the service history allows the service operations performed to be  
reproduced at any time. Each time you have your vehicle serviced, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends  
asking for a printed service record, which contains all service work stored in the system.  
With every service, the printout of the previous service record is replaced by a current printout.  
The digital service schedule is not available in some markets. In this case, your Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles  
dealership will inform you about the service work and documentation of this work.  
Service work  
The following information is documented in the digital service plan by a suitably qualified workshop or by your  
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles partner:  
Which service was carried out and when.  
Whether any repairs are recommended, such as replacement of the brake pads in the near future.  
Whether you had any special requests before or during the maintenance work. Your service advisor will note these  
on the order.
