To clarify, one could go to Bentley and search for "tire pressures." The
fifth result provides separate data tables for vans without 4WD, with reinforced
tires, and for plain Caravelles and Multivans. But nowhere do the pressures
of 43F/48R appear for a 205/65R15C tire. In fact, most of the full load
pressures for the front are greater than the rear. These full load pressures vary
by load rating of the tire and do range from 38F/35R for a 99 rated tire in
one place and 44F/49R in another. If the tire's load rating is 102, the
pressures can be either 41F/36R or 51/46. It is no wonder VW techs get confused.
Since Gomi is factory-trained, I am sure he can clarify all of this.
