Hi all,
Hoping that someone can help diagnose or at least point me in the right direction for solving an issue with my tyre pressure. Vehicle is a 15 plate BMW 320D F15.
About 2 years ago I was given an aftermarket set of alloys - Inovit Blitz. When they were delivered they were not fitted with TPMS sensors (Mrs didn't realise that they needed them and declined them when ordering).
I had the original ones removed from the stock alloys and put into the new alloys, although I'm aware that it wasn't straight forward due to the angle that of the valve on the new alloys... And this is probably where my problem begins. I'm not sure what alterations took place to get them to fit.
Ever since, I have had an issue with just one wheel constantly loosing pressure, but it seems to be more prevalent when it's cold. During the summer I might have only topped it up twice in a couple of months, but now it's cold again I'm doing it literally every day or every other day. Let alone the health and safety issues that this presents.
I have had 3 separate garages look at it where they have supposedly replaced the valve and the inner stem, checked the seal around the valve and the tyre fitting itself, still to no avail. The only have thing I haven't had done is replace the entire TPMS sensor but I have also been advised that this shouldn't make a difference. The only other thing I tried was contact the supplier of the alloys who did offer to have a look at it and try to resolve the issue but they are some 240 miles away, so this isn't easily viable.
Any ideas what I should be looking at? Or what it could be? I thought if anything the issue would be the other way around with the issue being more pronounce in the summer when it's hot, rather than when it's cold. I'm baffled, but this isn't my forte.
Any help is appreciated.
