Tire Pressure Monitoring Valves

[3Putt]

I am having some trouble with these valves on some aftermarket rims I bought.

On only one of them, the valve can be moved around by hand, and air is escaping. If you twist it you can feel the unit on the inside moving on the inside of the rim.

I have tried tightening it up - don't want to add any more torque. Apparently they are delicate units.

1. Maybe it's broke.
2. Maybe it's not sitting right.
3. Maybe it's not compatible with the wheels i bought.

Any ideas? Anyone else had problems?

I would take it to the place where you had the tyres swaped.
Unless you did it yourself.
It could be expensive.

Is it an electronic tyre pressure sensor attached to the valve stem?

Normally the valve stems are specially designed for the sensor and if the valve cannot be tightened on the rim (normally, this can only be performed with the tyre off the rim), you may need to order a replacement.

I Would Remove The Tyre Sensor Valves And Replace Them With Standard Valves From A Tyre Company. If You Remove All The Sensors From The Wheels You Wont Have A Problem Once You Reset The System Via The Button. Just Check Your Tyre Pressure As Often As You Would Any Other Day
