Hey, thanks for the info! It looks like my Leon also has these little quirks. Can you remember the cost you incurred for the repair? And have there been any other problems with the tire pressure monitoring system since the repair or is everything running smoothly now? Thanks again for your help!

Hey, sure, I remember the repair costs well. I was charged €190 to fix the defective sensors in the tire. Since I've been to the mechanic, everything has been running perfectly with the tire pressure monitoring system, the fault in the system has completely disappeared. So no more problems or faults, everything is running smoothly now! You're welcome, again and again!

Hey, great, thanks for the info! 190 actually sounds pretty fair. I think I'll definitely take my Leon to the garage now to have the tire pressure monitoring system checked. I really hope it goes as smoothly for me as it did for you. Thanks again for your help and advice!

What is a TPi error in the brakes
A TPi error in the brakes could be related to the Tire Pressure Indicator system. It might be indicating a problem with the tire pressure, which can indirectly affect the braking system. However, if you're seeing a specific error related to the brakes, it could be a different issue altogether. It's best to have it checked by a professional mechanic to ensure safety. Could you provide more details about the error message you're seeing?

Hi all. I have a 2009 Leon model S. I am trying to fit a reversing camera. Every time I connect the + lead from the camera to the reversing light it brings on the amber power steering light on the instrument cluster. I understand this is because the canbus is not getting the signal it expects. As the headunit I have selects the video when I select reverse, I know I don't need to connect to the reverse light. However that would mean the camera would mean the camera would be powered all the time. Is there any way I can avoid this problem. Or is there another wire I can tap into? It's a wireless connection I am using. BUT i have the full length if necessary.

Sorry I put this in the wrong section. It's my first time posting here.

Hello djgordy, To avoid issues with your 2009 Leon model S when installing a reversing camera, consider using a fuse tap to connect the camera to a circuit powered only when the ignition is on, or wire it directly to the battery with an inline fuse and a manual switch for control. Alternatively, use a relay to isolate the camera from the car's main electrical system, drawing power directly from the battery while being triggered by the reverse light. This approach prevents interference with the canbus system and avoids constant power drain. If unsure, consulting a professional installer can provide tailored guidance and a safe installation. Let me know how it goes or if you need further assistance!

Thanks for your reply Nik. The camera project has had to take a back seat for the time being.. Firstly the weather is not the best for working outside. I also had a coolant problem which has already cost me a water pump & T/belt kit. But now it looks like I need a head gasket, or worse.

Hi, this actually sounds like a problem I recently had with my Seat Ibiza (2015 model year). In my case, the problem was the tire pressure monitoring system itself, which was reporting the wrong pressure. In my own experience, my mechanic was very knowledgeable and replaced the sensors with new ones, which fixed the problem. It was a serious problem, not because of the danger, but because it was particularly annoying. Remember though, every car is an individual case, but in your case it could also be the tire pressure monitoring system. Hope this helps a little!
