Re: PEUGEOT TPMS ADJUSTMENT
Well done Caraman. Your persistence on our behalf deserves the support of all Forum members because this is a safety issue.
Why on earth can’t AS act responsibly and honourably like Bailey, instead of ducking down in the gaps in the rules?
Well done.

I wonder whether there is any change with the 2021 models, I doubt it.
Its not that they haven't known that they have been treating their customers despicably for years, is it. Plus, when I spoke to the VCA Head Engineer in November last year he had, as part of investigating my case telephoned, their 'Homologation Engineer' and strongly suggested that they talk to Peugeot France.

Re: PEUGEOT TPMS ADJUSTMENT
Last year I went to a local garage who deal with Peugeot and tried to get the system reset to lower pressures. The technician had all the correct Peugeot software in his laptop but was unable to do the reset. So, back to square one and living with the warning signals.

Re: PEUGEOT TPMS ADJUSTMENT
Sorry to hear this. I hope they didn't charge anything. The nearest Peugeot dealers to me that take Boxers/motorhomes are all up to an hour away which gives me a choice of who to go to. I've been to 3 so far. It might be worth trying another dealer.BornAgain wrote:Last year I went to a local garage who deal with Peugeot and tried to get the system reset to lower pressures.

Re: PEUGEOT TPMS ADJUSTMENT
This is so unnecessary and frustrating!
Why don't Peugeot allow owners to reset, from the dashboard?
Why don't AS reset, like Bailey?
Why don't Peuegot dealers comply with customers' wishes without undue indemnity paperwork?
Aaaaagh!

Re: PEUGEOT TPMS ADJUSTMENT
I am fairly new to motorhomes (35 years caravans then 4 years motorhome) but it is evident that the integration between base vehicle and habitation on coachbuilt and PVCs is less than perfect. I hadn’t realised at first, for example, that the habitation and base vehicle service were totally different and required separate workshops etc. Peugeot provide the base vehicle with some modification to AS spec. (presumably) but they are commercial vehicle makers and no doubt there is a limit to how far they will go to accommodate the coachbuilders as it must be a small part of their market. Adjustable pressure monitor systems would be of no use to Boxer buyers.

Re: PEUGEOT TPMS ADJUSTMENT
I understand the Peugeot TPMS is rarely if ever specified for commercial Boxer vans as they are not mandatory. I understand they are not mandatory for motorhomes either if they are registered as commercial vehicles. For example, Auto-Trail motorhomes are registered as commercial vehicles and don't come with a TPMS. It seems that the only base vehicles that are specified with a TPMS (@£200) are those destined to be converted to motorhomes and registered as passenger vehicles such as Auto-Sleepers and Baileys. The difference between these two makes is that Auto-Sleepers do not take responsibility for the tyre pressures and therefore the adjustment of the TPMS, because the regulations apparently don't require them to, but Bailey do. So Auto-Sleepers have a front TPMS set around 73 psi and a Bailey with an equivalent habitation load has a front TPMS set around a safer 50 psi. Although many TPMSs are driver adjustable, the Peugeot one that is mostly only fitted to some motorhomes isn't. Clearly the problem would go away if the regulations required all TPMSs to be driver adjustable but currently they don't.BornAgain wrote:Adjustable pressure monitor systems would be of no use to Boxer buyers.

Re: PEUGEOT TPMS ADJUSTMENT
I simply don't understand why the same system fitted in Peugeot cars isn't used on motorhomes i.e. adjustable by driver. . My sons 3008 is adjustable.

Its probably because the Boxer TPMS is cheaper.Paulmold wrote:I simply don't understand why the same system fitted in Peugeot cars isn't used on motorhomes i.e. adjustable by driver. . My sons 3008 is adjustable.
