Magnet Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Normally attached to the inside end of the valve - inside the tyre. Your local tyre supplier will be your best source of specific information. Kind regards, Gareth. p.s. I like to address replies by the person’s name. Would you be kind enough to amend your profile to include your name for us. Many thanks.

Fatbloke Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 (edited) I changed a wheel on my A3 several years ago after hitting a pothole and damaging one. No issue with TPMS. As far as I am aware, VAG don't use sensors in the wheels. There are magnetic rings on the wheel hubs with pick up sensors positioned next to them. Rotational values are stored and any changes at one or more wheels indicates a possible pressure difference, ie a puncture. It's the same setup for the TPMS on my Skoda Octavia VRS.
