Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Insignia Tyre Sensor

Conversations 3 · 2021-12-29 16:05:22

Hi, Have a 2011 Insignia, I'm changing the tyres on it and think it's time to change the sensors as well, I think one or two are leaking. Any idea where is the best place to buy, besides Opel dealer. Thanks

Just to note, it’s only cars registered after 01/01/12 that TPMS is checked on.
not sure how the Opel system reacts if they’re swapped for regular valves. Whether you’d have a warning etc.

(not saying you don’t need them, but cost of 4 sensors vs value of the car etc etc)

Yeah he`ll have a light on. Theyre stupid money from Opel - probably around 75 each.

That’s not too bad, but would kill me to spend that on them

I think the Toyota ones are €120, taking one apart right now as it happens 😄
