BUT DO YOU REALLY NEED WHAT YOU'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERS... 2016 BMW TPMS FAULT FIXED!!!!!!!

[@AnthonyAE86IRL]

Not sure if BMW are the same but from my time with Toyota, if we didn’t have a sensor in stock or customer didn’t want to pay for a new one, if you deflate the tyre completely and pump it back up, it can ‘wake’ the sensor up again, it’s only a temporary fix but definitely helpful for people going for their annual inspection 😁

[@MichaelCoode]

I’ve been a mechanic for 43 years and all this bullshit don’t make cars better glad I’m almost finished with this shit

[@lu34lyf]

Left JLR for this exact reason, it was tunring into electrical engineering not mechanics! and dont get me started on high voltage shite!

[@igigig27]

If the other 3 sensors date from 2016 ? they will soon follow the faulty one , perhaps in this case the BMW dealer was looking long term ?

[@-sargntclashroyaleandmore-491]

Might save money for the customer short term but when the other sensors fail, the customer will have to pay again to get a new sensor and pay for them to get fitted again...

[@TheDaf95xf]

Good evening Baz cool guy fixing man and sharing his knowledge 🤩

[@johnmoore7825]

So that’s how they work, obviously having the equipment and the knowledge to use it makes all the difference 👍

[@tam1381]

That's how some of them work.

[@kevinpalmer7452]

Nice work 🤙we have one of those wands they certainly are magic.

[@rhysellis2666]

They calibrate faster if you can create indifference in wheel speed I.e cornering speed hasn't got much to do with it. Ex bmw tech, 1 hour diag + sensor repair kit probably £300 at main dealer.

[@erolserif5357]

i always wondered how to change those things... Thx for the video

[@lu34lyf]

dealers dont do diagnostics as such, if computer shows a error fire the parts cannon!, its sickening with the cost of modern sensors!

[@Thatpropertylife]

Did BMW misdiagnose it or did they figure ones broke so the rest will inevitably break, change them out now so the customer doesn't come back with the same fault?

[@robertwillis4061]

Quite possibly. Or standard Dealership up sell. Company car I had in 2019, was in for service, told needs 4 new tyres. I knew it didn't. All 4 tyres were 3 - 4mm. Garage claimed that as the next service was 10k miles away, the car would need 4 tyres before then. Told them fine I will replace in 1 - 2 months time. Went elsewhere for better tyres, cheaper. Didn't like the O.E. tyres in the wet.

Learnt something today.

[@georgedaville4662]

Always wondered what they looked like! Can you change the battery in the sensor, or does it have to be the whole sensor?

[@mikeberry304]

Nope , new sensor , battery is sealed in , they normally last about 5 yrs , but it keeps us in a job 😂

[@davidbailey533]

I got similar problem with my focus and kwik fit wanted same amount

[@khalidacosta7133]

I think that Launch TPMS sensor comes with a plastic washer... but I found a LOT don't... even genuine items. Then the aluminium / steel bolt corrodes onto the wheel... after it gouged up the factory paint... because there is no washer 🙄🙄

[@Gneeznow]

The speed limit in Wales is 20mph? wat!

[@bazmeredith]

Yep absolutely shocking, so hard to keep these modern cars to the speed limit, plus half the time you get taken over on people on electric mountain bikes 😂😂😂😂

[@brianhunt9026]

I bet there is a massive market. In reconditioned milk floats 20 mph.

[@simonbailey2151]

Baz, you’ll get used to it, honest. Coming from Germany where basically anywhere suburban has an 18mph limit it shocks me when I return to the UK and see how fast people drive round suburbs and villages. Anyway great video

[@williecosgrove]

I Will take the job but i want to wrench too😂

[@andygilbert1877]

Can you turn these off? Not had a car with these in yet but my TPMS involves going round with an inflator & gauge once a fortnight! 😂

[@portzi2]

Maybe pull the fuse might work?

[@alanpatterson2759]

Wow at 4.49 pentagrams on tyres now? 😭😭😭😭

[@CraigPerry]

“They tend to corrode and take the wheel with them” - I’m not 100% sure these are a net positive. I get that most drivers don’t check tyres and will drive under inflated until their next MOT but… that’s a driver fault. Bit unfair to condemn someone’s expensive alloy just to flash a message they might choose to still ignore. I’m usually pretty pro-technology but on the fence here.

[@lu34lyf]

what happened to manually checking fluids and tyre pressues which im sur eis still a thing tested in a driving lesson regaring where do what go etc! , never rely on sensors ever, ive seen engines fial wihtout oil pressure warnings coming up and the oil pump is fubar!
