i know its a rare thing these days... but look on the tyre side walls and you should find the correct PSi for the individual tyre... the manual is all good and well if your still using the same manufacture tyre as was originally fitted...

That's generally the max pressure.

i only mentioned it as i had something of a bad experience a few years back on my old mk.5...
had some right bad luck and punctured 2 tyres at the same time.. had 2 spares.. but only one of them was totally legal.. so managed to get a legal but cheap replacement tyre... i just topped it up to the same PSi as the others... turned out after 6 months use i checked the side wall and for that tire i had been over inflating it... not by much just 5psi iirc... but enough to scare me shitless untill i could get a new tyre fitted
