Re: Run flat tyres for C5 X7?
Mine has it as standard, but the only thing it reports back is the due maintenance and if there were any errors (which of those would be displayed here, I don't know) ...

Re: Run flat tyres for C5 X7?
Silly me. Yes it has a "CHECK" button showing the same as above but nothing related to TPM

Re: Run flat tyres for C5 X7?
Which would probably mean you don't have TPM in your car ... ... what you're missing is 2 or 4 transmitters for the wheels (around 60 GBP each), the TPM module and TPM antenna, that are in the back of the car (side of the wheel, under the cover, and in the spare wheel compartment ... at least that's what is written in the service documentation, I haven't had the chance to see a car in full detail whit the TPM) ... and of course programming with DiagBox ...

Not sure how I can tell if it has TPM or not if it reports the same as your C5 that has TPM. I think you should be getting a different screen if your C5 had TPM.

Re: Run flat tyres for C5 X7?
Whoever said I have TPM? ... the sure way would be to first check if you have the receiver and antenna in the back (at least easier than getting the tyre off from the rim) ...
Re: Run flat tyres for C5 X7?
Easier still, look at the valve stems. TPM stems are usually solid metal (aluminium?), as distinct from the usual brass / rubber construction.

Re: Run flat tyres for C5 X7?
True, but the valves on the wheels don't mean the car actually has a TPM system ... ... I can mount pressure senors on my wheels, put them on the car, and no error message would be given ... since the car doesn't have TPM ... ... sure, an extreme example, but, not impossible ...

Re: Run flat tyres for C5 X7?
That's why I am asking. Two of the tyres have a metal stem. I suspect the car came with TPM and the previous owner removed it.dnsey wrote:Easier still, look at the valve stems. TPM stems are usually solid metal (aluminium?), as distinct from the usual brass / rubber construction.

Re: Run flat tyres for C5 X7?
Car overview (1 - location of tyre transmitters; 2 - antenna; 3 - compute/receiver):
The computer should be located under the rear left wheelarch cover (inside the boot), as show on the picture below:
As for the antenna, it should be on the carriage of the spare wheel (inside the boot):

Re: Run flat tyres for C5 X7?
Thanks for the photos, great! Is the wiring ready for the Confort models, even if the receiver and the antenna is missing?

Re: Run flat tyres for C5 X7?
I'm not sure to be honest, I still haven't checked this in my car (although I have it on my to-do list) ... I don't think so, since some other things that are missing don't have any installations which I've already checked (i.e. headlamp washers) ...

Re: Run flat tyres for C5 X7?
Well it's got TPM as it has the receiver and the antenna. As I am not getting any error messages it is disabled. Good to know if I ever decide to enable it.

Re: Run flat tyres for C5 X7?
Was there a question of "if it is fitted it has to work" or it's an M O T fail?
