Sorry it’s not exactly motorhome related, but still applies. I dropped my car in to get a tire puncture repair the other day and was told by the technician that it was my valve that was leaking and to take it to my garage. The technician also said that the garage should be able to split the tire pressure sensor from the valve that needs replacing, which would reduce the cost considerably as it is then a matter of refitting the same sensor.
The garage have just been on to me to say that they are checking to see if it is covered under warranty, if not the cost of replacement would be €180. So fingers crossed. I asked about them reusing the sensor and they say it can’t be split on older models. It’s a 2014 Kia Sportage. Could I just go source a valve/sensor module online and have the tire center fit it, which they offered to with the original sensor? Or is there a lot more involved regarding coding and installing a new sensor?
