If Skoda cannot get this right then there should be an option to turn this facility off in the Infotainment system.

A false alarm could actually cause a problem when someone is driving. 

I suspect that skoda will eventually change to the  tyre valve-based tpms  - probably costing us all more!

 

I’m on my 4th Skoda and never had a problem with false warnings on any of them. Reading on here most false warnings are down to operator error.

And yes some MY 20 models are getting direct TPMS.

@English Welcome to the forum.

?

Are you having a problem with false warnings after having read the owners manual, setting your tyre pressures and then setting the TPMS?

?

Which car is this on?

I had a VX Insignia with TPMS and one wheel was a pain with false alarms, basically unless the battery in the sensor was brand new it would throw a warning, at around 60mph (after ~30 miles) or 15 @70mph - ish. I the had battery swapped, obviously no joy, so then the sensor swapped (£75) but still the same, and it became apparent it was actually that one corner of the car that was the issue as wheel swapping never moved the problem (£75 wasted 😭) I mentioned this to a friend and many of his company pool cars seemed to have an iffy corner, the pool cars were all German/Asian. I wonder if one wheel TPMS problem is one sensor just on the edge of range to an off centre receiver perhaps?

Another pain with TPMS is the cold weather (or fast loaded running) throwing a warning - and then needing TPMS rims for winter wheels.

2-4 false warnings a year 😞

 

30-55 euros isn't huge price for true information -
i have installed DIRECT TPMS:

The TPMS should not throw warnings in winter or when carrying loads if Tyre Pressures are checked when cold and the TPMS reset, 

or when carrying loads again checking and resetting.

 

The issue with the system can be that a brake binding can have a wheel getting hot and the tyres pressure / circumference changing and a warning being given.

This should be considered a good thing if you check and the pressures are correct when cold.

Check the brakes are not binding, and check the pressures when the tyres are hot and see if there was good reason for the warning.

@Roottootemoot

talking like Škoda dealer :)

these pictures are made at the same time

 

 

 

 

Chinese devices also are so different

@MartiniB

No idea what your pictures indicate.  I know what you are trying to indicate though.

When they were all set was that at 2.4 Bar?  Or was there a loss of pressure since set?

 

 

I know you are very keen on what you fit, the thing is that not everyone owns their car they might just lease or hire them or just buy and drive and expect the OEM system to do the job, and in the main they do if drivers bother to reset them and check tyre pressures regularly.

If you pick a car up from a dealers to take out for a demo run or have bought it it is nice if the tyre pressures are safely set and the TPMS is.

But seeing as you should not trust your life to others, 'simply clever' is set your own.

 

If the car is just with you for 2 years or 3 in the UK there is a Warranty if the system is broken.

@Roottootemoot

of course i have pressed `SET` after seasonal change of tires or change of pressure,
false warnings sometime comes after two weeks but sometime after three months.
dealer told me that false alarms aren't a fault and there is nothing to do with warranty

 

ambient temperature can change pressure in huge diapason,

from 2.2 bar/31.9 psi on "cold" summer morning to 3.0 bar/43.5 psi on hot highway
but in case all four wheels drive in the same climate default INDIRECT TPMS don't have to give any warnings,
which are calculated by ABS computer

There you go then, you are sorted now, but just because someone tells you false warnings are not a warranty issue that does not mean it is true.

If they are actually 'False' irregular / gash and without cause then there is an issue.

Not a big deal though is it if tyres are going 3 months unchecked IMO.   3 months without checking tyre pressures to me is just lazy.

 

Load in the car, a fat / heavy passenger sitting in the back seat can affect the tyre pressure when moving if that tyre does get hotter,

as a binding brake can.

A tyre replaced that is newer than other tyres can run at a different heat from the older one on the other side etc.

It is handy when you have a digital thermometer to just check tyre heat as some at tracks might do as well as the tyre pressures.

my disappointment,

why are you deny the device which can give such information with 1 minute refresh rate 

 

white numbers are pressure in Bar, can be switched to Psi
yellow numbers are temperature in Celsius, can be switched to Fahrenheit
