Title: TPMS sensor
Post by: JCW on March 12, 2016, 15:29:31

Tyre deflating constantly.
Just been to tyre specialist.
Found leaking TPMS sensor.
Theysaid cannot do anything - I need a new wheel.
Can the sensor be re-sealed?
Thank you

Did they say why they jumped straight to new wheel?
That seems a bit strange, the sensor is replaceable and certain types the valve stems can be replaced seperate to the sensor with a simple screw.
