Default Replacing TPMS wheel sensor question

Got an '04.5 1.8T Avant and it's throwing the "leaking air from the tire" TPMS warning light. All my tires (including the spare) have correct pressure.

Is it possible to disable TPMS in a B6?

or...

If I replace the wheels sensors do I have to reset anything in VAGCOM or will the fresh sensors do the work?

Thanks.

DOH! Figured this out with a trip to the dealer.

I tell the dealer about the warning light and he tells me that I don't have TPMS in my car. I tell him about the symbol - that it looks really similar to the TPMS symbol and he asks, "is the symbol blinking or not blinking?" I tell him, "its blinking and it looks like air coming out of what looks like a tire symbol".

He says, "Your windshield washer fluid is low".

I drained the reservoir the last time I took the front bumper off and never put the washer fluid back in.

Again... DOH!
