Hi All.
Brand new (German) panel van conversion (Globecar) bought fresh from a major dealer's forecourt about 6 weeks ago. All good on first couple of trips. Now TPMS message on dash says something like "RH Front - Monitoring Unavailable." I've raised all "as supplied" pressures up to the pressures shown on the sticker on the door pillar and since covered about a further 100 miles - no change. Seems likely a defective sensor?
So, mindfull that a round trip to the dealer is a lot of inconvenience, 200 miles of fuel and also currently thinking that this would be a Peugeot warranty issue as the sensors interact with a module as part of the overall engine management system, I thought I would contact my local Peugeot Van garage to see if they would sort it under Peugeot warranty. The warranty service booking person I spoke to on the phone (and without seeing the vehicle) surprised me by asking if the alloys were aftermarket fitted as the warranty may not cover the sensors because the vans are originally fitted with steel rims and I may therefore have to go back to the original converter! My gut feeling is that this cannot be right - the alloys are the ones we see on all new Sevel made, dealer supplied vans from all converters - the centre boss on the wheels even has the Peugeot logo!
Maybe the Peugeot receptionist is not familiar with the motorhome environment - or maybe my gut feeling is wrong? Ultimately I may have to talk to the supplying dealer but before going back to either the local Peugeot garage or supplying dealer, I thought I'd ask here as it raises a couple of questions, namely; who should be sorting this fault, secondly, where and at what point are these alloys fitted to these motorhome chassis - at Sevel, Peugeot, converter or dealer?
It would be helpful to know if anyone can throw any light on the these questions, has had an issue like this themselves or knows more about this particular tyre sensor fault.
Thanks
