Apart from what is written in the manual and on the driver's door....
If you check the maximum pressure for the tyre (Pmax) and the maximum load for the tyre (Wmax), then a bit of maths with the wheel load (W) will give the pressure (P) required:-
Pmax X W
P = -----------
Wmax
I only know this as I had to do it for the caravan - where the max pressure and max load ARE printed on the tyre AND I have a weighing device (a REICH drive-over wheel load gauge). Hope your tyres are marked up...

PS I will try to post typical D3 (i.e. = my) wheel loads tomorrow...2006 D3 finally swapped for a 2016 D4 Graphite in Graphite grey. No mods
