Tyre Pressure Sensor and Manual

[TheOne]

Hi

I have recently bought a 2001 C5 2.2 Exclusive estate with 83000 on the clock. It's a superb car to drive and in incredible condition. However, it has a tyre pressure sensor missing. My questions are:

1) Do I have to get a specialist garage to fit one?
2) How much 'roughly' will it cost?
3) Anyone recomend a garage. I live in Portsmouth and work in Southampton.

Also, can anyone point me to a site that has explanatory information on how the controls on the stalks and trip copmputer works? I do have the booklets that came with it but they are light on explaination.

If they are the same as the C6 then the sensors themselves are around £60.

They also need coding to the ECU which I was getting quotes of around £110 to do.

.

Have a look here. They seem to be around 25+Vat quid. You'll need to find a Lexia to introduce a new sensor to your car.

They won't be the same as the C6. The BSI will need to be programmed with a Lexia AND part of this requires another tool to make the sensor "talk" such that the BSI can recognise it. There have been a few posts on this subject over the last six months or so a search should throw something up.

If you have a post-facelift C5, the sensors are the same as the C6, 407 etc, pre-facelift C5s use different sensors, they're much cheaper than the later sensors.

The later system on the post facelift C5s is more sophisticated, it can tell you which tyre is deflated which I believe the earlier system couldnt it could only tell you one tyre was deflated.

C5's from August 2004 use these ones:-

Price: £49.00 + VAT.
VDO part ref S180014805Z. Citroen C5 II, C4, C6, C8; Alloy wheels. Requires diagnostic reprogamming for the car's onboard TPMS system to recognise a new valve.

The first line of the OP says "I have recently bought a 2001 C5 2.2 Exclusive estate"
so why confuse him with C6's facelifted C5' etc.
