Has anyone had to have replacement sensors fitted to their wheels yet? Tyres are due for replacing, thought it makes sense to replace the sensors at the same time in view of the age (9 years). Experiences of anyone having the job done, and who they used would be appreciated.

TPMS doesn't have sensors as such

It uses each wheel rotation IIRC via the ABS and VSA sensors

But wait for confirmation because I think there was a Jazz model where they were in the tyres

Definitely sensors in the wheels it's a 2015 mk2.

2015 MY is the only model Jazz to have direct TPMS with sensors. Cost is high, so don't replace unless faulty or batteries are flat.

I'd just concentrate on getting the tyres of my choice at the best price for the tyre and fitting.

The big on line tyre dealers such as Blackcircles and Mytyres offer a wide choice of tyres and a wide choice of approved tyre fitters in your area. Any of these fitters should be experienced in supplying and fitting sensors and responsible for ensuring they are working and properly programmed to your car.

I dont think the cost sensors is normally included in the quoted price , so it may be worth phoning a few potential fitters to see what they charge for these. Also check the small print as a few might charge extra for things like disposal of the old tyres or fitting to alloys.

But I would get them replaced. 9 years old is already pushing your luck. It would cost more to get the tyres dismounted, remounted and possibly rebalanced ,perhaps quite soon, as a separate task. Unless you expect to sell the car very soon - in which case is it cost effective buying new tyres?

The or Honda parts are too expensive, you can get kits to repair but they are Chinese paper don't bother. VDO have the correct 433 MHz sensors again only with 12 m guarantee not worth £160 for all wheels. I run winter tyres on steel wheels without sensors. Never had an issue once alloys refitted light goes out in metres if running.
