Cheers chaps
SFO, did you install them yourself and if so, did you have to reset the system or does it recognise the new valves?
OPC did it when I had my rear tyres changed.SFO, did you install them yourself and if so, did you have to reset the system or does it recognise the new valves?
OPC programmed new units in, but car still 'relearned'.
I think 7.1 system may be different.
if not .. this might be a stop gap (if system same as 7.2): http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Cheers buddy, i'll have a word with the OPC to see if they will do the same for me.OPC programmed new units in, but car still 'relearned'.

As for the free ones, thanks but I think I will go for new ones as I hate the hassle of replacing them!
Which car are you driving? my 997 turbo has had 3 of them replaced in turn (with hindsigh I'd done them all in one fell swoop). you can get individual sensors or a set on ebay for way below £200. Get a tyre dealer to just swap them over for a modest sum.
You set the car to relearn yourself through the instrument panel. Learns them very quickly. Very easy and no need for the OPC dry-bumming.

Had the same thing happen a few months ago. I used tpmwarehouse who are very knowledgeable (ask for becky, and don't be put off by the Chrysler main dealer message, just press option 4), and they know their Porsches!
However, it may be worth getting the 'huff' oe sensors. I'm using aftermarket and they have been a bit of a nightmare, that still isn't sorted. Make sure you don't mix old style analogue, and new digital ones as this confuses the car, and get all four.
Mine keeps going between learning modes/flat tyre/no readings at all and fine. It's really annoying, but I will give them one more go before I call back. It's getting bloody expensive getting tyres on and off all the time at the fitters.
