I have been having issues with a non-existent puncture which I assumed was due to a faulty sensor.
Since getting new tyres two years ago I regularly got a "tyre pressure not monitored" message, especially after I hit a bump or pothole.
This progressed to regular "tyre punctured" messages, predominantly but not exclusively from the Front LH side. The tyre pressures are fine and regularly checked.
I presumed that the sensor was faulty and was waiting until I needed new tyres to replace the sensor. Unfortunately Kwikfit cocked up and did not replace the sensor, although they did run a subsequent test and assured me that all the sensors are fine and have working batteries. They reset the error and I got all the way home before the error reappeared. I have since had the error cleared again with the same result., got home fine, next day error appears on starting the car.
Apart from being annoying this is an MOT fail in waiting so I now need to get this properly addressed. I could just bite the bullet and get the relevant sensor fitted, but could the problem lie elsewhere?
Has anyone else had a similar issue?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
