Looks like I need new TPMS. Anyone got any feedback on these sensors?

Thanks. My Huf ones lasted for well over 10 years. They are not cheap though.

I also used the UK Parts direct ones above. Got them in a pack of 4. Installed, activated TPMS from the menu and had no issues since.
Re: Fitted new TPMS - TX-S001 Direct Fit TPMS Sensor
Have ordered these, thanks for the feedback that they are reliable.
Re: Fitted new TPMS - TX-S001 Direct Fit TPMS Sensor
I have HUF ones as well. Got those in 2016. RDE001. September 2004 car.
https://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/tpms/ ... ms_sensors. Not cheap at all.They were £70 odd each when I got them I think. The OEM were a lot more.

That’s where I got mine from, too.

Re: Fitted new TPMS - TX-S001 Direct Fit TPMS Sensor
It's annoying that the Huf ones are so expensive. I found some Hella ones that are about half the price. I think I might take a punt on those.
The question now is whether I dare to try to replace them myself. I recently picked up a tyre machine but I've never tried to remove / refit a tyre, even if I've seen it done many times. Maybe I'll practice on my wife's car first.

Re: Fitted new TPMS - TX-S001 Direct Fit TPMS Sensor
I had the durosense ones fitted this year.
So far so good.
Fairly cheap considering the other options
Plug and play as they are pre programmed.
IIRC Around £80-100 for 4.
Just recently when I initially start the car all 4 tyres throw up a fault on the dash. This disappears after 5 mins of driving.
I have been too lazy to check all the tyre pressures.
I need to do that and pump up where required.
Just a Quick Look and they seem ok. But really need to measure all 4 tyres.

Yeah that’s the ones Ben.
I will check back and see what I paid for them.

Just bought a set. Durosense seem a reasonable company and it looks like their UK outlet.

Re: Fitted new TPMS - TX-S001 Direct Fit TPMS Sensor
My mistake. They were £68.00 ish each.
It’s an age thing ?
Re: Fitted new TPMS - TX-S001 Direct Fit TPMS Sensor
I reckon you paid 68 for 4. Part number looks like a 4-pack.
