Looking for mechanic recommendations for persistent tire pressure problems with Opel Mokka
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
The conversation centers around a persistent tire pressure warning in a 2021 Opel Mokka, suspected to be due to a malfunction in the tire pressure monitoring system. A similar issue was resolved by another driver who discovered that the problem was with the antenna of the tire pressure monitoring system, requiring the sensors to be relearned. The solution involved professional repair, which was complex and required specialized knowledge, costing €255. The advice is to seek a trustworthy mechanic to address the issue effectively.

Hey, no problem, that's the nice thing about forums like this, that people help each other! So, as for the cost of the repair, I can remember exactly. It came to a total of €255 for the antenna tire pressure monitoring system - was a bit pricey, but definitely worth it in my eyes. Since the repair everything has been in the green and I've had no further problems. Yes, I understand your concern about the sudden error message. But sometimes these things happen with technology. You'll be fine, don't worry too much! Take it easy and drive safely!

Yes, I had two fault codes. The tire sensor code cleared and the exhaust catalytic converter is still present. Dealership order new catalytic converter.

Before replacing the catalytic converter, ensure that there are no other underlying issues causing the fault code, such as a faulty oxygen sensor or exhaust leak. These can sometimes trigger similar error codes. If you're unsure, it might be worth getting a second opinion to confirm the diagnosis. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!

Hey, I drive a 2018 diesel Opel Grandland X and recently had the same error. Since I also thought that the tire pressure was simply too low, I first simply put more air on the tires. But after the warning light still wouldn't go out of my sight, I went to my trusted garage. It turned out that there was actually nothing wrong with the tire pressure, but that there was a problem with the antenna tire pressure monitoring system. The sensors in the tires had probably lost the connection to the control unit and had to be relearned. It was shocking that this happened so suddenly and for no apparent reason. It was a complex job requiring specialist knowledge and equipment, so I would suggest you get it done by a professional. I hope this helps you. Have a safe journey!
