Whitters Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Hi All, I purchased a 08 plate Mondeo 10 days ago. Within 7 days had to replace a TPMS valve. Fitted Friday at an independent garage. Blow me did my regular tyre pressure check today when filling up with fuel. Snapped another. Why would Ford fit a Sensor thats made from such a brittle material. Does anyone know where I can get sensors from that are made to last as I'm afraid of checking the rest of my tyre pressures just in case I break another. Why did i buy this car. Love the car hate the TPMS. Thanks Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pragmatix Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 tts not just Ford that has probs with TPMS after about 5 years +- the batterys fail and give dodgy reading and they start toi corrode due to eloctrylitic action. just done a search for the company that I got replacement from for my laguna but they dont seem to do them any more but a phone call might get you somewhere http://www.tyre-equipment.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitters Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Thanks for the website. I'm going to get it sorted today one way or another. Hate driving round on a bicycle wheel. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
