TPMS

[bowfer]

I shall do a remote scan tomorrow when the wheel is about 25 miles away from the car and see what it says then…


I must admit I’ve been dubious of the 2.6 bar all round reading. Anyway, the tyre needs fixing first and I’ll worry about the other stuff later ?

Yup, I was going to suggest earlier that the 2.6 all round was suspicious, if not impossible.
That’s what mine did, stubbornly stuck at the same pressure all round and it took the dealer a good week to sort.
I did get a warning saying TPMS failure though.

Thanks for the responses gents. Yes it’s clearly a rotational designed TPMS system. Anyway, the good thing is the puncture was bang in the middle of the tyre, so it’s fixed and we’re back rolling for 15 quid.

TPMS all running as it should now ?.
You must have picked up the puncture just before you put the car away in the garage.

Interesting.
Wonder how long batteries last in these things?
We’re at 3 years of our Evoque showing pressures ‘live’ (they literally change in front of your eyes as you inflate them)
No sign of any battery issues.
Perhaps rather than waiting for rotation to trigger the battery, it triggers the battery when the tyre pressure screen is displayed, or a pump connected.

Yes that’s what must’ve happened. I had to inflate the tyre this morning to be able to get the trolley jack in place. The puncture wasn’t that fast, so the tyre must not have softened enough for the TPMS to register a change before I parked up.
