Are these things the most sensitive annoying things ever.
I picked my 997T up about 5 weeks ago with a TPMS error showing and agreed with the seller that I'd get it sorted and we're work out the costs between us.
Having never had TPMS before on my previous 2 porkers I didn't think it would be too much hassle.
So the car went into the OPC for diags and they came back saying 3 of the 4 wheels had less than a month's TPMS battery life left and the last one had 4 months so they advised getting all 4 done at once.
I agreed to this and it went back in yesterday at a cost of £700 inc labour/vat..
I picked the car up error free for the first time since I bought it and drove home.. reversed on the drive and then immediately got an alert saying "flat rear tyre".. got out the car and the tyre was perfectly fine.
This morning I got in the car and checked the TPMS screen and it said I'd lost 10PSI compared to the other corner so I drove to the local garage and checked them both.
Firstly the car said they were at 37PSI and the machine said 30???, and secondly the suspect corner was only 2-3PSI down on the other corner, not 10, and certainly not flat!!
I have now reset the TPMS thing and its "learning" so we will see what happens over the next 24hrs, but has anyone ever had this much hassle with the damn things??
:evil:
