Hello, Im new, coming from Bosnia. I just bought Seat Leon, 1.6 EcoMotive, 2010 year. As I bought new tires and changed them for the old ones that were on my car when I bought it, the tyre pressure lamp turned on, as I knew I pressed set for couple of seconds it didn't went off. The tires are balanced, new. The rims stayed the same. I did everything but the lamp didn't turned off... Does anyone know what to do?

Thank you in advance.

I had this in a 2007 Leon, I changed the switch and it worked.
I then opened up the old switch and removed a lump of fluff which made that work too :(

Very true, the tyre pressure sensor on my MK1 is the undertray which bottoms out when there's not enough air in them.

Have these got sensors fitted to the valves or does the car measure the wheel rotation from the abs rings?

If it has the sensor valves, one of them could have been damaged whilst changing the tyre.

I think the second option, how could those be damaged?

Crushed when the bead breaker shoe pops the beads before you take the old tyre off.

Been there, seen it, done it lol
