I'd buy from Audi. Did it work?

it worked a treat , took the valve out and let what little air their was out and really had to squeeze it in hard , blew it up with the compressor to 36psi then drove it on and off the drive .
did this in the afternoon and 24hrs later it was still up no problem when i had the tyre replaced as it was low tread anyway.
one thing to note it took them a while to get the tyre off as the gluey stuff had set solid , so yes its good , but for a simple puncture it may not be possible to repair when you use the TMS in the boot

picked a new bottle up from audi , took 24hrs to get and cost £30 .

Don't know if the Renault stuff's the same, but since my Clio came with 2 bottles of it and I can fit a spare aftermarket wheel in the normal underboot space, I'm reserving the Renault gunk for the RS if I ever need it.
I guess Renault stuff should be cheap, assuming its as effective.

And your pressure sensor, was it knackered????

[whispers]

yep it was , but fallen out with sensors a long time ago as they were always going off when the tyrs got warm , so replaced them all with normal valves 6 months ago .

thats because you did not set nominal presures correctly.
