S55 AMG K W220 2003 TPMS

[Chris x]

Hello!

Over the next week I am having 4 new tyres fitted and the wheels refurbished on my AMG.

It has factory fitted TPMS fitted, however all four have been dead for a few years(batteries).

Mercedes want £105 each for each sensor. Is there a cheaper equivalent?

Attached are photos of the original ones on my alloy, I notice the Audi/Volkswagen have the same frequency and shape, and are £50 each new!

Looks exactly like my existing ones:



I don't really want to gamble £200 for it not to work. Does anyone know if they will work?


Also, my car has sat in a garage for the past 3 years apart from its annual trip to the MOT station, which means the battery has gone flat a fair few times. I now have no information on my dials about the TPMS, its as if it thinks it doesn't have them from factory? Does anything need resetting? Another worry spending out £200-£400 on new sensors to then find out the module or something else needs replacing.

I've had a Google and cant seem to come up with much!


Thanks for any help!
