False TPMS warnings

[Nham68]

anyone else experienced false TPMS warnings on A4/S4 ?
I replaced a tyre (relatively new one) after unrepairable small tear . This new tyre is only 3 weeks older than other 3 , all same make and type. Subsequently three times now, the same wheel has had TPMS warnings come on, though each time on checking, no drop in pressure. Reset TMPS. Then happens again .. no change in pressure, reset, and repeat.
Very disappointed that in a £55K top of the spec S4, it has passive TPMS .
I’m thinking of booking it in and asking them to check it out, though not sure what they can do... hence any advice appreciated.

New Years wishes and best to you and yours for 2019 !

That’s really odd especially because you reset it on the MMI. slow leak or fault can be the only reasons why.

The ABS sensor driven TPMS system is notorious for 'false negatives', my previous RSQ3 and my wife's A1 both exhibited the trait. Once you know it can't be trusted one tends to view it in the 'chocolate teapot' category of usefulness.

I’ve found that every time I have new tyres within a day the low pressure warning comes on. I check the pressure and it is fine, reset the MMI and it then works fine until the tyres are changed again.

Members were only discussing TPMS (an acronym that makes me think of something else entirely unrelated to tyre pressures!!!) on the much longer current thread:- https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/replacement-tyres.377484/
