Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Repairing run-flat tyres, PAX
| It is not always necessary to renew a tyre after it has lost
pressure and then been run in an uninflated condition. |
 Note
| The affected tyre should be removed and checked for damage
by qualified personnel. Fitting of tyres and checking tyres for
damage must only be carried out by qualified personnel. |
| After a run-flat tyre (PAX) has lost inflation pressure,
check the tyre as follows: |
| – |
First remove as much gel residue from the tyre as possible.
Use the flat side of the putty knife to do so. |
| – |
Then clean away any remaining gel residue from the tyre and
support ring using water and a cloth. |
| – |
After separating the tyre and support ring, check both
components (PAX) according to the following criteria. |
| – |
When re-installing, make sure the support ring is the
correct size for the tyre and wheel dimensions. |
| – |
As with standard tyre/wheel systems, the PAX wheel must also
be checked before fitting. |
| – |
Damaged wheels must be renewed. |

The procedure for adjusting the wheel alignment on vehicles
