spider1   11 #1 Posted June 14, 2021 Hi got a fiesta 2015 due m o t   light on dash showing T P M S  valves need renewing it will fail its test if light on dash. Dealers want a fortune to renew valves can anybody take light off or know of anybody to replace tyre valves and stems at reasonable price. My local tyre place just dont want to know wich is rediculous as its going to be a common thing in the future have the t p m s in tyres after 2015 to warn of low tyres.   Help  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
carosio   186 #2 Posted June 14, 2021 I've wondered about this. National Tyres fit a 'TPMS service kit" to repair or extend the life of the valve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

dave_the_m   61 #11 Posted June 15, 2021 Is this one of those MOT things like a spare tyre, where it's not a fail to have a missing spare tyre, but is a failure to have a worn or under-pressure spare tyre (so remove the spare tyre befoe the MOT)?

I’m sure spare is not testable.   Might be an advise if examining tester can see it. I.e it’s under car and not in boot area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
