Tpms sensors

[ilunn]

As cars have been fitted with sensors on each wheel from at least 2014 wondering if anyone has had any problems with them, we have 2 cars both fitted with these and one is coming up with a fault on rear (1 week out of warranty). Reading on internet the batteries are known to fail between 3 and 7 years so I'm thinking about purchasing the equipment to allow me to replace myself as I have a possible up to 8 requiring replacement within the next 3 year.

Some systems are self learning so I'd check before buying the programming kit.

All OEM sensors do not have to be programmed
Gone through this with my car
A tip never buy oem replacements they are not working properly, they seem to be loosing signal with the module. Where originals are working perfect

bought the Autel ones, x4 sensors for £62 on ebay, then a further £40 for the programming kit.

Programmer puts a random generated s\n on the sensor (otherwise its all zeros 0000000)

cars picks them up fine with no issues

Aahhh, the joys of running a 17 year old rust bucket LOL My TPMS system cost me £42 (inc P&P), and the tire sensors all have user replaceable batteries.
