Display unit is all good and bright except no reading with  a - - - -  for all 4. And yes... It kept on pee pee pee then. 

 

The valve looks like a concealed unit. Shall get the small spanner equipped to see whether it could be opened. 

 

 

It’s the valve battery bro. Just change them and they are good to go.

All went flat at the same time? Did you try to reset the reading? After you reset it should stop beeping then you have to drive to a certain speed for it to get back a reading. At stationary it cannot get a reading.

Yours is external sensor or internal sensor?

I am using this set for the vezel.

Brought in November 2020. No issue with battery except the regular Batt charge up once every 3 weeks.

i bought mine in 2020 too... less than $20

changed battery once (DIY)

but recently start to leak... tyre pressure dropping from 2.3bar to 1.9bar in 2-3 days

did a check, confirmed leaking from the sensors

now thinking of changing to the better internal ones

Internal ones better. Only downside if one not working troublesome to replace.

I have had good luck with steel mate external sensors. Using it on 3 cars. One set has been 5years. The other 2 about 3 years. All good so far.

Me too. Been using a set of Steelmate external sensors for almost 5 years. Still working.

It’s those plugged into cigarette socket type.

This brand more expensive but lasting.
