There’s an air leak in one of the the TPMS wheel sensors on my 2013 C5 Tourer X7. It takes a couple of weeks for sufficient air to leak to illuminate the low tyre pressure warning system. When washing the wheels I can see a few air bubbles around the valve stem, signifying the leak. Do I have to buy a Citroen replacement TPMS sensor complete, or is there a quality after market equivalent that would be suitable. I’ve seen just the valve stem, washer seal and valve core available for £5 or less, including one kit on eBay,which quotes a Citroen part number. Have you tried these, and are they suitable?

Hello from Wales Recently bought a 2013 C5 2.0HDI Tourer automatic and loving its comfy ride and relaxed nature. Haven't owned a Citroen or other French car for many years, but previous gems include Simca 1000 and 1204 (with two twin choke downdraught Webers!), Citroen Ami 8, and my mother owned a GS with 3 speed gearbox and centrifugal clutch. It seems like my C5 has some idiosyncrasies that I'm finding frustrating, and I'm looking forward to asking advice about these 'features' from the knowledgeable members of this forum. Hwyll! Steve
