TPMS Valve Snaps
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport, 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport, 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport, and 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
It is recommended that during the Vehicle Handover (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 tire inflation or checking.
TPMS valves are snapped/damaged when an excessive side load is applied as shown in the illustration above.
The damage occurs at the edge of the valve, as shown in the illustration below. 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.
