tmps sensor battery replacement design flaw?!
#76
Ok my Tpms just went in all 4wheels. Went on the site recommended here oewheelslic, but they seem to have 100 different ones for my car. I know most are 433 MHz are these the right ones for my 08 C4S. Very confused!
Also do tires have to be rebalanced as well after install?

New Here
I just registered after suffering from severe dealer pricing shock. I am in Canada and have a 2007 C4S Cab, which I bought new and have put on only 14,500km - less than 10,000 miles. The TPS system has been acting wonky lately with misreadings and warnings, and on doing some research I found this forum.
Based on the experiences from the members reported on this thread, I just ordered a set of the OEwheel sensors and will report back how they worked out for me. Thank you all for doing the legwork and sharing it here.
A local dealer quoted me over CAD1000 just for the 4 sensors and I just do not have the heart to spend this king of money. Another dealer has quoted me CAD 1800 for a major service, which is essentially a change of the air filters, cabin filter, oil filter and oil change and inspection/cleaning of the drains. Are these guys for real? If the cost of servicing the car would be more realistic, I would not hesitate of having the work done at the dealer, but CAD3000 for basic maintenance is a joke.

Just joined. Thanks for all the helpful research. Just ordered a set of ITM TPMS from oewheels for my 07c2 (http://www.oewheelsllc.com/TPMS-Sens...2#.U5jdr_ldXNs) $201 shipped. Eyeballying a set of Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 from tirerack. Rear ContiSport are running thin and although fronts still had life, both had a patches. I know, I'm a nail magnet...

TPMS Replacement
I just got an extra set of wheels for autocross/track use and my original wheels have the original TPMS (2008 997S) with one battery starting to fail. My mechanic suggested disabling the system in the car so I don't keep getting all the lights on the dashboard.
With two sets of wheels plus the fact that I'm always checking/changing tire pressures anyway, I'm definitely having the system disabled and I will not be replacing any of the sensors.
