This is exactly the mistake that is commonly made. While this is a 
pretty typical pressure arrangement for a front engine car, the front 
tires on a rear engine VW need to be set much lower. VW 
recommends 17-19 for the type 3s.

I use 20 in front and 30 in the rear. Nothing magic about it; just 
easy to remember.
