TPMS - what do I do next?

[Greg66]

Cheers. Didn't realise it would take that long to get the first communication sorted. I will line up a long trip.

My TPMS has packed up too, so I'm after new sensors. What did you go for Greg?
Every time I start the car it waits for about 45 seconds and then the TPMS warning illuminates along with a drill in the head warning tone. Its at this point that I could gladly disembowel whoever at Audi thought a piercing monotone was the thing to go for.
It takes about 20 mins driving for the system to reinitialise, be interested to hear if this works OK.

These ones: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2519244566...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Took then to a local tyre place only to be told that the tyre place supplies exactly the same ones, and for four could have undercut the ebay price plus their fitting (£12/ wheel)! Live and learn...

I agree that bloody warning tone is incredibly irritating. Also works really well in conjunction with the low fuel warning.

OK. Thanks for the heads up. Did you manage to get them talking to the car yet?

No, but that's only because I haven't been out in it. Had to work on Sunday, and last two days have been hectic. Will get the valve sorted tomorrow then see about heading off somewhere for a pootle.

Pootle. In a V10

Ha! Pootle - well, not quite.

Anyway, the sensors popped into life last night. Pretty cool when they work (although first thing I did was to switch the units from the useless bar to the much better psi).
