Posted this on another forum as well, but I'm trying to find out if the TPMS valves are fragile or if I am a clod?
I've owned my i30 for two weeks and the TPMS light came on, I checked the rear tyres and they were both around 20psi. Pumped up one of them but when I tried to pump up the other one the valve broke off. Fitted the spacesaver and went off to the garage this morning.
They were great, replaced the broken valve under warranty, re-aired the tyre and then sorted out all the gubbins in my boot and put the space saver back into it's nest and reassembled the jigsaw that is the jack/toolkit.
So two questions:
1. Are TPMS valves fragile?
2. Is 6psi air loss a week excessive - my old Sante Fe lost 4psi from the rears...
Cheers,
