Issue with front right boot

Hi folks,

Got an issue with the front right tyre. It seems to like to go down, losing up to 15 PSI over just a couple weeks.

It is not a puncture as I have had the tyre replaced due to this issue but it is still happening.. so I'm wondering what is left to try.

Any suggestions? It might be a faulty valve or something but can those be replaced easily? What sort of cost am I facing.

Thanks, I'm a novice with cars :cool:

If you've had the tyre replaced then it's probably a dodgy value, should only be a few quid to get a tyre place to swap it.
It could also be a buckled rim meaning the seal isn't great between the tyre and rim but I'd look at the valve first.

Water around the bead(s) and the valve, look for bubbles, find your leak.

Few quid seems reasonable. Might pop to Kwik Fit next weekend.

As for taking it off and looking for bubbles, I prefer a hands off approach
