TPMS valve corrosion

Post by GBR1198 » Tue Aug 09, 2016 11:07 am

My tyre valves are starting to look a little corroded, I have seen replacement valves are available without the electrical parts to just replace the aluminium part. Has anyone had this done or done this? How far corroded can they be before they're no longer safe?

I believe the part no. Is 4D0 601 361

Any advice would be great

Too much power is barely enough.

I have changed to those because of the same issue you have for my cars and not had any issues. Infact, they are better made than the OEM IMO.
