One of my tyres has been losing pressure (at an increasing rate) for literally years now. I thought that the new set of tyres I had fitted last year would sort this out … it didn’t.
It has continued to get worse and now I am topping up this tyre once a week – to the tune of 2 or 3 psi.
I assume that the valve is the problem – but I believe that the valve is an integral part of the Tesla TPMS unit.
So, do I have to go to a Tesla SC (a three hour round trip) or can a local garage be expected to fit a compatible 3rd party replacement ?
Or should I go to a tyre specialist ? (There is a Kwik-Fit nearby).
And does anyone know if a leak of only a couple of psi per a week would be enough to actually be traceable ? Clearly I’d rather have the problem properly traced and fixed rather than just buy a new valve and TPMS unit on the off chance of fixing the problem.
Thanks
