What do the tyre pressure sensors look like

[kwack]

Hi,

Reaon I ask is that 3 of the tyres have a valve tht seesm vsry short and has a metal thing in the slot behind it

The other tyre has what seems to be a normal valve. I am guessin that this rogue valve doesnt have teh pressure sensor on it?

If so then I will take back to Audi and get it sorted

Thanks

The tyre pressure monitors are a small grey box that sits in side the tyre . The outer Part is the valve , the sensor is bolted to the valve .

If you have a rubber valve your sensor is missing

I believe the top orange tpms is the replacement one for the RS6 (RDE001)

Just a thought, what is the range of these devices could you get an erroneous reading from a car parked next to yours?

I'm sure it doesn't matter as as soon as you move off you would get a correct reading but as more cars are fitted with these devices it may become an issue.

Thanks for the advice. I will ask Audi to fit one as it should be included.

From reading the manual, it says that when you set the pressures using teh monitor it will malfunction if there is a sensor missing, but I dont seem to get that failure, which is strange?
