Tyre Pressure Sensors

[Guest Visa10E]

I have an 02 plate C5 2.2 HDi Exclusive, and I'm taking it to France next month and was wondering is the car fitted with tyre pressure sensors, and how do I find out?

Reduce the pressure in one of the tyres to less than 1.5 bar and it should tell you the tyre is under inflated - that's what mine does, think the threshold is 1.8 bar for the warning.

 

You may need to drive some distance.

 

I always keep my tyres properly inflated for fuel economy reasons - last saw this when spare (non reporting) was on car and leaky tyre in boot - car kept hassling me about low tyre pressure.

and how do I find out?

 

Look at the valves. If they are black and flexible, you don't have sensors. If they are steel and solid, they probably have them.

Hi my ex se has these valves if you find that they dont hold there preesure very well ie 1psi loss over a week :P try and tighten the nut that you can see, as i had a slow loss of air after two new tyres fitted and this stoped it dont be to heavy though with the socket. Have a safe trip
