Jumper Tire Pressure Warning and Steering Issues

Hi, I'm having a nightmare with my 2020 Citroen Jumper (it's the electric version). The tire pressure warning light keeps coming on. I've checked the pressures, and they seem okay initially using my tire gauge, but then the light pops up again. Lately, I've noticed other problems, like the ABS lamp lights up sometimes, the steering wheel feels like vibrating when I reach certain speeds, and even worse, it feels like I need to put in way more effort when steering, as if the power steering is playing up. I really don't know much about cars, so any ideas?

Hey there! That sounds frustrating. When you check the pressures with your tire gauge, how long does it take for the light to come back on? And do all the tires lose pressure, or just one?

Thanks for the quick reply! Well, the light usually comes back on within a day or so. I have checked all tires with my tire gauge and I think it's the front right one giving me grief because it seems to be losing a bit more pressure than the others. Any thoughts?

Okay, a slow leak on one tire combined with those other symptoms does sound like a potential valve issue, or maybe a problem with the tire monitoring system itself. Given the steering issues, it’s best to get it checked at a workshop as soon as you can.

Thanks a lot for your help! I took it to a workshop, and you were spot on – it was a defective valve in the tire. They replaced it, and everything's back to normal now. Cost me 280€, but at least it's sorted!
