Please help....Volks VS TPS
As i notice many people out there got volk rims, how do you without TPS? Yesterday Rick from Status told me the only Volk that work with TPS are the CE28N and TE37. I wanna get other model rather than this two.
Is that a way of attaching TPS to Volk that you guys do? or you just drive w/o it? People said that warning light come on, beeping noise, and all those crap when TPS are not attach...
HELP....

I just read a few mintues ago about some kind of adapter for the tps sensor you can get? I emailed the guy who posted it to try and find out more info since I am curious about this as well. It was posted on a thread about PIAA wheels so I dont know if he meant they were specificaly for that rim or company or what. I will post whatever I find out.

There is the well known banding method. Works fine except you may have an issue with the ECU not seeing your TPS on the new wheels. I am working to no end on figuring this out.

Sorry, but what does that mean when " Issue with ECU not seeing your TPS"
Does that mean that there will be no tire pressure reading...... If so, whats the point of this "Banding Method"

The dealer doesn't know how to calibrate the sensors correctly OR 2. I have a bad set of sensors (unlikely I think, but a possibility nevertheless).
So im assuming you bought some sensors and are not using the stock ones that came on the car..... Where did you buy them?

Just an update for anyone who is interested. Your stock TPS will work with aftermarket wheels. I have now used my original sensors on two sets of aftermarket wheels using the banding method and they work fine.
