Tyre Pressure monitors

[Slayer]

Never realised how sensitive/ reliable TPMS are!

Warning came on last week, Had a nail in the passenger rear tyre. Today another little warning, reset the system but thought just check it out.. there you go another one in the front passenger one. So 2 tyres in 2 weeks. They were new tyres but not repairable ended up replacing

I think I would not have picked it up without the sensors as the tyres looked okay looking at them.

Yes, TPMS is a great job for slow leaks.
Only ever had one screw in a Porsche tyre and it picked it up no problem.
Have had numerous slow nail and screw leaks on other VW and Honda cars, and the TPMS has always been excellent. Some I have found immediately. Others, I have put down to misbehaviour and have reinflated the tyre, yet the warning returned. Visit to a garage and the smallest nail ever found in the tyre.
So super systems, and really perform as intended.
