Hey peeps. Just a quick question does anyone know if the Aussie spec vturbos come with the tyre presure monitor as ive changed tyres to 19" but havnt had any indication of a system difference.

Yes, we definitely have the TPMS - it alerted me to a slow leak from a screw embedded in my drivers side rear on Friday. I guess it's possible your tyre place could have transplanted the monitors for you - I discussed it with Bob Jane while they were doing the puncture repair for me, we were talking about Yokohamas when the Hankooks are slicks, $289 for 215/40/18 in A-drive R01's, and the potential to change rims and end up with a less expensive size... If they put new rims on a car with TPMS they keep the TPMS operative.

Crap yesterday when I got my new boots fitted the warning didn't go off but went for a run down the freeway today
Y and the light flashed and stayed on, what do I need to do to fix this shouldn't the tyre dealer have known about the system on the car.

......shouldn't the tyre dealer have known about the system on the car.

Yes they should of. And they should have said something to you.

hey peeps so does anyone know where the sensors are located are they inside the rims, if so does this require me to deflate the tyre and get the sensors fitted/ removed from old rims

 

[UHF3]

Yes, they are mounted to the inside of the wheel.

You may also need to have them calibrated - which could be the issue that needs 'new' sensors, if they can only go to a certain pressure range. My Bob Jane contact tells me they're just swapped over in 60, maybe 70% of cases.
