VF Tyre pressure sensors.

Just had a message come up "check tyre pressure sensors" 15K miles. Cant be all of them? Anyone had the problem?

Anyone else get a VX call back for tape on the rear axles?

They can be weird at time. Check them to make sure. I got the tape recall notice as well.
Did you get the seat belt recall?

If you cycle through the dash display to the tyre pressure sensors, do you see any values for any wheels at all?

Had a problem with one of the wheel sensors on mine. The dash display indicated which wheel it was by not displaying a value for one corner of the car. The other 3 corners still read OK. New tyre pressure sensor was required.

That'll be under warranty then Paul.

BTW. Met Chris Kent on Saturday and he suggested a road trip next year to the Hungarian F1GP. Interested?

I had same problem as paul, just one played up but it fixed itself, that was when I first got the car, what is the recall on the "tape" ?

Oh, yes please!

I'm fully spent up for this year now anyway so that works better for me.

Not had any issues with my sensors @19k.

Not had a recall for tape but have got the car booked in for a replacement front shock under warranty.

What are the symptoms regarding your front shock?

I've got an awful groaning/creaking coming from the front when going over large speed bumps at pedestrian pace. The more travel required under compression the more it groans and creaks. VX have inspected it and said it's fine, they can't find a problem.

Its the rear axle wiring harness which can be unwrapped and get tangled in the drive shaft. Apparently they just fit some tie wraps to the harness.

It is leaking! Got to book it into Bellingers who will then prob have to send it to Walky to do the work. Not noticed any major creakiness though.

Think I will do it myself, cheers

Off topic, I was working on a vauxhall antara yesterday and noticed the tyre pressure sensors are the same as on mine.

But given they are £25 from walkinshaw it may not offer any saving.
