Re: Amoi being unreasonable
Strange that it happened when the tyres were replaced. 
Could it be that the valve bits need re-linking to the system? I'm sure there's something in the manual of my wife's car about doing that.
Also a bit that the tyre people didn't mention anything. I thought they check these things. Maybe @Jody will have an idea. IIRC he did the occasional stint as a tyre fitter.

Re: Amoi being unreasonable
Our Tuscon needs a good drive for the tyre pressure sensors to sort themselves out/get recognised by the car after a tyre is swapped or I put the spare on.

Re: Amoi being unreasonable
€10 for the part is cheap imo, €60 to fit is horrrendous. are you sure you have it the right way around ?..... wrote: Sun Apr 12, 2026 6:24 pm Swmbo had tyres replaced and neededanewtpms according to the dasteadoutmsstillneeds anewtpmswhich the tyre shop wants to charge €60tofit€10for thebit

Question is, why did it need replacing?. If the dashboard light wasn't on when she drove in, then that indicates the sensor was working properly. It IS entirely possible for a careless tyrefitter to break a TPMS when breaking the bead of the old tyre. It's stupid mistake, but I can't say I haven't done it.
