Skoda Superb tire pressure ABS and steering issues

Skoda Superb 2023 diesel. Tire pressure low warning. ABS lamp lights up, vibrating steering wheel, increased effort when steering, power steering may have failed. Suspect defective valve. Thoughts?

Woah, sounds familiar! I had a similar experience with my Skoda Superb, though I can't recall the exact mileage at the time. Those symptoms – ABS light, steering wheel vibrations, and the heavy steering – are definitely concerning. Did you happen to check for any visible damage to the tire itself? Perhaps a nail or a screw?

Visible damage? No obvious punctures, but could be a slow pressure loss. Valve issue – is that common, or just bad luck? Where was the air leak?

Well, I wouldn't say it's a common issue exactly, more like an occasional one. In my case, it turned out to be a faulty valve stem causing a slow air leak. It wasn't immediately obvious like a punctured tire would be. Given the symptoms you're describing, and without any visible signs of a flat tire, it's highly probable that you're experiencing a similar issue with pressure loss. Best bet would be to visit a workshop, they'll be able to confirm the source of the air leak and replace the valve stem if necessary.

Confirmed valve issue. Sorted at the shop for 280€. Thanks for the input.
