T.p.m.s. Reliability

[toondoug]

Hi everyone and a Happy New Year to all, I started up this morning and the tyre warning light came on fearing the worst I

had a quick look but there was no visible signs of a puncture ,when I got to work I checked the pressures to find they

were way under the recommended pressures in the T180 handbook 32, in some cases nearly 10 psi. Has anyone else had this

problem? The light went out as soon as the pressure was corrected.I was wondering how far below 32 the light should come on .

Thanks in advance

can't advise you about how far, but the tyre pressures vary significantly depending on the air temperature.

My tyres were set at the recommended 29PSI in the autumn, and when the air temp was around 4-5Cel or so, the pressure in the display was down to 24/25. With the current very low temps, that could well have be a lot lower as well (I upped them back to 29PSI)

Went out in car at weekend and the air temp IN the tyres on the display were MINUS ONE!

I think everyone needs to check their pressures and adjust ASAP!

Ohhhh!

And I thought everyone checked their tyre pressure weekly just as it says in the handbook? :wacko:

I generally count the number of wheels, and divide by the number of doors and if the answer is more than 1 then I'm on a winner!! :P :P

I check my tyre pressure evet time I get in the car and during the journey (swivel head left and down a little - job done!)

I do the same count - I'm over 1 as well :P

Hi guys I'm back having been locked out for a few days after reformatting me pooter etc.

Your theory is floored. cos if you have remedial doors then ie three cos some can't handle more. Then you could be missing one and still have the right answer. MMMM Theres a song in this somewhere.
