Hi,
New member and my first post but I'm diving in head first here....
I've had the Insignia about two years and I love the car, It's a 12 plate 2.0 CDTi Elite
When I bought the car I got given a set of nice looking metal dust caps with the VX logo on them so I put them on the car then forgot about them. Recently when checking the TPMS on the dash I thought I'd like to get a tiny bit of air in one to bring it in line with the others but to my dismay when I turned the cap off it sheared the valve off and the tyre went down quickly.
My local tyre fitter wanted an arm a leg and some teeth to replace it (actually about £130) so I just had a standard valve fitted for now. I have got two more of the stupid caps off but one resists and I don't want to force it until I have a solution.
Anyway, can I just buy any set of TPMS sensors from the internet (obviously with the same part number) and will they re-learn as they should?
I was hoping to buy four from here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Auto-Tire...25.m3641.l6368
Will these work? I am hoping to only put in two and keep two as spares.
Thanks in advance for any help.
George
