Can you disable TPMS. Mine's a Boxer .

Regular warnings about pressure, goes off when I've put some air in . Went to Peugeot to sort flashing mileage( all done) they flagged up whole new system needed, module, sensors etc @£360

If it is the factory fit sensors in the tyre valve version. Fraid not.

You can buy new tpms sensors individually off ebay, Amazon etc.

Some people seem to have had some success by removing the tpms controller and doing a proxy alignment to fool the van into thinking it isn't fitted.

If fitted after a certain year it is mandatory on mot to have fitted . If you disabled it you may find tester would check and potentially fail.

Be a bit odd for all 4 sensors and controller to fail at the same time

Dealer price for sensors for ours (IVECO) was over £80 each so I doubt that £360 from a dealer includes the controller.

Just looked up IVECO metal or rubber £65+£10 postage from Germany for 4 .Understand why they are known as main stealers now !

Yes you can find them cheaper but the original dealer ones are self learning for the wheel position however that works, Aftermarket have to be reprogrammed and I didn’t need the hassle, mind I only needed two, the problem is the battery is not replaceable so it’s new sensor when it goes flat

May be wrong but think they all are,in practice the receiver isn't in the middle of the chassis so knows how far each sensor is away from it and thereby knows which sensor is on each wheel,also don't think many of the later ones have a battery all done by some sort of magical electonikery !

Dunno why the fit them, they're useless unless fitted to run flat tyres... which is what BMW invented them for.

Peugeot listed all parts needed down to a locking nut , so maybe not such a bad price. After talking to a local tyre fitter though he pointed out that front tyres were not camper tyres ( these fitted by dealer as two replacements were needed for sale last year. I knew to check age but not camper or van). So again in a quandary ,,,if new system goes on can I specify what pressure to set warnings for.....Can I set different pressure front to back...Got till June for mot.

 

[oldiesontour]

So it seems you are accepting that 4 sensors and controller All stopped working at the same time ? And accepting that main dealer price is fair ? Go to an independent tyre company get price for new tyres and sensors,if that shows new sensors give correct readings all good if not control unit likely u/S other two sensors probably ok.
Any decent tyre firm will be very capable of dealing with Tpms talk to them

 

[Brian/April]

Sounds like good advice, I don't necessarily accept what dealer says I agree it's quite a coincedence multiple failure I'll look into costs from tyre specialists.
