Hi everyone
Hope someone can help with a problem I have with my B7 audi rs4, I drove the car yesterday for the first time in 2 weeks and the TPMS flashed up red with no Amber warning just a straight red, I stopped at a garage and filled the tyres with air, one was very low 26psi not 33 so I reset it using the RS steering wheel, cleared the warning and drove off, 2 miles later it flashed red AGAIN, checked the pressures but nothing wrong, It doesn't want to stay resetted.
Please help

Sensor gone mate, prob need to replace it, AFAIK btys only last 4-5 yrs, prob best changing all 4, plenty threads on here if you search,

How much are they a pop and won't it be easier just to have someone over right this and is it ok to drive with that on the dash or will it cause more problems

As long as you know the pressures are fine it won't cause any problems at all. You can turn the system off but not sure if you use VCDS or can select from the menu where you set pressures.

Hi

I've tried resetting it on the display menu but it only last 2 miles then bleeps red again, I've heard u can take it to a garage with audi knowledge and if they have the software they can disable it which works out cheaper than replacing 4 sensors as I'm not sure which ones knackered

Anyone with VCDS can disable it for you - don't go pay a garage! You're welcome to pop over to me (MK443AP) if you can't find someone closer to help - I'll do it for you in under 1 minute.

Hi Ross, what is VCDS and where abouts are u to Milton Keynes?

I'm about 20 miles from Milton Keynes - black cat roundabout on the a1. Directly down the a421 until you hit it

VCDS is Vagcom by another name - the software and hardware required to talk to all the cars ecu. Change settings, read codes etc

If you need new ones this guy should take £30 each if you put a snide offer in.

I know where that is, when can I pop over and how much do u want for the service m8

I work from home so am in most days - just drop me a PM a day in advance with a rough time and we'll hook up

No charge don't be silly - bring a packet of biscuits if you want anything with your cup of tea

Exactly this. This seems to be popping up on all the boards lately. I guess its just about that time.

Ive got the same issue, doing my nuts in. Can you tell which one it is on Vagcom or is it best to just replace each corner?

Anyone used these ?

Vagcom wont tell you which sensor it is unfortunately. It's a very basic tpms system.
