    I made the mistake of tightening the lock nuts too much , i eventually had to seek help loosening them lest i damage the tire valves. [emoji23]

    That's why for me, i won't readily discount the efficacy of that darned nut.

    do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do

    so parang valve cap lang yung sensor part ng TPMS, may extra na provided ba? or may nabibili na separate valve cap lang ng TPMS?


    Thinking ahead kasi ilang beses na din ako nakuhanan ng valve cap

    Mas malaki siya sa valve cap bro.... Ganito itsura...



    Walang extra na provided at wala akong alam na pwedeng bilhan ng pamalit, dahil naka-assign nga ang valve cap sensor sa posisyon ng gulong and i guess transmission frequency...

    Your seller can sell per piece if one will not work anymore...

    Question po sa mga naka Zeepin Solar Powered TPMS, yung internal battery po ba ng base/receiver unit napapalitan kapag hindi na nag charge thru solar panels assuming the panels are still working? If napapalitan ano po size ng battery ng base/receiver unit?

    Kahit na kunin niya yung sensor useless naman kung wala siya nung monitor. Unless na lang trip niya lang nakawin. Though masikip pa din ung lock nut nung sa akin.

    Previously before i installed a TPMS, naka plain black valve cap lang ako. Hindi pag iinteresan ng mga kolokoy.

    Perfection.... the reading on my tires while parked in a hot basement for 4 days while I attended a training abroad.



    I recently got this for my Innova, a Zeepin C260 TPMS for under P2k. It's totally wireless (with optional USB charging) and uses a built-in solar panel to recharge the internal battery.

    The pressure readings agrees with my AccuTire MS-4021B digital pressure gauge to within half a PSI. I purposely bought the external-type sensor version because it affords the most flexibility when doing things like rotating the tires, transfering the sensor to the spare tire, or changing the sensor batteries.

    The receiver automatically turns on when it senses vibration and shuts off 3 minutes after it stops sensing movement.

    I like that!

    Driving to work, I was startled by alarm beeps. It was my TPMS. Turned out, a nasty nail tried to hitch a ride.

    I know TPMS is important but I've only considered that in theory. But today, I've experienced first hand how helpful it actually is.

    It pays for itself na, bro....

    Had a similar experience too, in an unfamiliar place, where I had to go back to the vehicle near midnight, and drive end to end of MM, to fetch our kid from a party....

    Gave me the opportunity to had the tyre replaced immediately, when I still had the time... 6PM on a Saturday....

    I like my TPMS as I can monitor my tire pressure in real time, but I hate it when I need to remove the tire cap (with the TPMS) since it is really, really difficult to remove and time consuming....

    I assume that you're using external tyre monitors/transmitters, bro... You'll get used to it after a while...

    Also did you notice that the interval to refill air is longer with the external tyre monitors?

    There's only one disadvantage with the internal-type sensor..... each wheel will have to come off in order to replace the internal batteries.

    I have this external sensor type TPMS. Ang sabi sa manual, no need to remove yung sensors pag tire rotation kasi pwede naman i-configure sa main unit.Not sure why this cant be done sa internal sensor type kasi hassle nga kung aalisin mo pa yung sensor.

    This is one of the main reason why I am very hesitant about fixing something in my car. There's a possibility that I might ruin something which can cost me additional charges. That is why its best to have our car repair on our trusted car shop to avoid worsening the existing problem. However, Thanks for sharing this!

    Not all are configurable. Mine is fixed. It has markings on each sensor that tells you which tire it should go with.

    Though, I understand that not all people are handy with tools and that each one of us have individual confidence levels to DIY stuff. But as far as installing external tire sensors, there's really nothing hard about it. If you can pump your tire with air and screw on the valve cover, it doesn't take much more to install the screw-on tire sensors.

    Oftentimes, I find the following adage to be true: "If you want something done right, do it yourself."

    I agree here.

    Internal monitors - My logic here is that you can remember where are the new assignments of each sensors....

    But most importantly,- if there's an alarm that one of the tyres is losing pressure,- then it will trigger you into action for you to check the tyres

    when it comes to DIY, some folks simply do not have an opposable thumb.

    I actually prefer doing repairs & installations by myself - as much as my meager abilities will permit.

    But your hesitancy is understandable because erring is inevitable at one point or another. And Like any other fubar in life that you have to learn from, You just have to grin & bear it. [emoji4]

    do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do
