 Hi all,

Just bought myself a set of refurbished Roccastrada Rims for the summer tires. They are unfortunately without the pressure sensors. Anyone knows the part number for them?
I saw a set on e-bay with part number 9673860880 but can't figure out if they will do the job!

Thanks so much.

Happy C6 2.7 driver. 299999 km on the clock!

 I am pleased with the change to CUB universal TPMS, low price, good quality and they trick the car computer into believing they are the originals.

 A lot in internet: - Click Here -. The won a price for their TPMS sensors. BUT: marketing is mostly to garages, and I got mine through my tyre dealer.

 All, I've just become the proud owner of an Autel TPMS diagnostic tool (or I will be when it's delivered!).

Check out the Autel TS401 on the web and the MX-Senors.

Amongst other things, it allows me to read the existing ID's and program a replacement sensor with the original ID!

When I've had a bit of a play and checked it's functionality I'll be happy to pre-program sensors if members send the ID's to me (small beer token donations accepted). If you don't know the ID I'll need the old sensor or the car to interrogate the ECU with Lexia.

 Have to be honest, my experience was that the sensors constantly told me things were OK when they patently weren't and then told me that things were NOT OK when they actually were. As a result I removed the things and now rely on the good old Mark One eyeball and a gauge. An old fashioned twice weekly check on the tyres, oil, water and brake fluid levels keeps me happy regardless of what the computer says. Having said that, I know that in this day and age folk like all info via a screen, my advice is just don't always believe what it tells you!!

 Thanks MGmike,

Have a TS401 but was not aware of the MX-sensors as potential replacements.

Best regards,

Phil C.

 My car was fitted with VDO tyre pressure sensors, reference S 1201 23004 There's a suffix letter after the number, but this can be ignored.

Cheapest option I found was one of the many trading names for Autodoc GmbH, in this case SparePartStore24.co.uk I bought two for just under £35 each, delivered, though it took 10 days for them to come from Germany.

Don't forget to make a note of the unique reference

FWIW, I was initially cynical about the value of this system, but experience tells me I can't tell when low profile tyres are losing pressure just by looking at them. I put a spare wheel on that looked fine. TPS reported 24psi, which was accurate when measured independently. It looked just the same when I pumped it up to the correct pressure.
