TPMS valve snaps: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
It is recommended that during the Vehicle Hand over (or at subsequent Service intervals), advice should be given to customers that damage to the TPMS valve may occur if excessive side loading is applied during tyre inflation or checking.
TPMS valves are snapped/damaged when an excessive side load is applied as shown in the illustration E196994.
The damage occurs at the edge of the valve, as shown in the illustration E137619. If damage is on other area's of the valve, the warranty cost shouldn't be covered by Jaguar Land Rover.
If available, the recommendation is to use a non 'wand' style inflator or the IMS compressor to maintain the pressure. This kit has a flexible style end piece.
