My '04 E55 estate is fitted with TPMS. It doesn't work, partly because there is only a sensor/transmitter on one wheel; the other three wheels have ordinary rubber valves fitted. HOWEVER...
There are two possible types of system which could be fitted to the car, and even Terry at Wayne Gates is not sure which system it would have. Just to complicate things, in the glove compartment I found both a BERU RDV001 valve (without the small screw in the base, but otherwise apparently brand new and complete), and an in-wheel sensor/radio transmitter unit (part no. 0008223306), without a valve, for the alternative system. The one wheel which does not have a rubber valve has what looks like an RDV001-type valve fitted, but it could be from the other system as well.
I'd like to make the system operational again, but I don't know what parts to buy. Can anybody tell from my VIN (WDB2112762A673489 X) which system I have, or alternatively, is there anything on the car which will enable me to tell?
