Hi,
I was looking to replace all my TPMS sensors when I get my new tyres. Does anyone know where to get these other than at VW, I prefer to keep my arms and legs!

Thanks in advance Reggie

not sure on the shipping to australia.....but I just bought a set of TPMS and rims from Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels. Excellent to deal with, arrived as promised. I have a 2011 TDI......

There is a board member supplying these, I suggest doing a search. I believe V10 Downunder has dealt with them and had success. Very pricy from the dealer , I was quoted $360.00 each at one stage.

Very pleased with my replacements from Nancy. Fitted, worked 5 minutes later.

I managed to open one unit, I now understand there limited life. A big Button battery Cell fully enclosed to protect against the elements.

Worth the effort getting the Beru's direct from the USA. Next time round a group buy would be beneficial.

Regards

Gerald

Thanks for all your suggestions,
I have been in contact with a few people selling in the US, does anyone know the part number for the Aussie specs for a 04 V10?
Thanks again,
Reggie

Thanks for all your suggestions guys!
Have ordered 4 TPMS from Tire Rack in the US, they seemed to be the best value for money. We'll see when they turn up.

Hi Guys,
Been a long time! An update on the TPMS out of the US, they work!!!:clap:
Just switched on the TPMS function and got it to "learn" and wholah! They have been on for only a few days, no hicups thus far.
Cheers,
Reggie
