Hi All:
Several weeks ago, my TPMS light came on and started to blink. This means one or more of the sensors has malfunctioned. So I took it to Costco and they replaced the sensor successfully. A week later the light came back on. Returned to Costco and they said a second sensor had malfunctioned. Based on some research I have done on this issue, the sensors have a life span of between 9-10 years. So, I told them to replace all the other sensors. Since that time, my TPMS light has been on, even though pressures are correct. Since I have VAGCOM, I followed to the detail, the "relearning" procedures posted on their site. No luck. According to Costco, for some reason the Jetta is not recognizing the new ones. Based on their meter, all are broadcasting fine.
So, before I go back to Costco and argue about a refund, does anybody have any suggestions? Where is the TPMS reception point on the car? And, here is a cut and paste from the VAGCOM log:
