TPMS - how it works

[Pauly]

If its a T6 no, they use wheel sensors to measure rotation speed of each wheel
If its a T6.1 no unless you specced direct TPMS when ordering, if you have direct TPMS you will have actual tyre pressures displayed inside vehicle on the screen

That’s what my tyre shop said to me when I put on a set of Devonports with Tpms valves….”never mind, it does it on wheel rotation!”

So, I have 4 x tpms valves for sale if someone needs them!

Are they proper ones ?
I have a 6.1 on the way with direct tpms and a wheel fetish so a second set could be handy

Yep! If “proper” equals “ as delivered by VW”!

How much ?
VW seem to charge a fair whack for genuine ones !

I wish i had specced TPMS on my van. I thought i would be able to switch on the indirect with vcds but no luck yet.
I guess i need a how to retrofit the senors guide for dummies
