Seeking Advice on Persistent Low Tire Pressure in 2018 Hyundai Santro
Summary of the thread
The conversation centers around a persistent low tire pressure issue in a 2018 Hyundai Santro, suspected to be related to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). A similar problem in a 2015 Hyundai Elantra was resolved by replacing defective antennas, which are crucial for accurate tire pressure readings. The suggested solution is to have the TPMS checked and potentially replace the antennas to prevent tire damage or blowouts. Scheduling a mechanic visit is recommended to address the issue promptly.

Ayy, that sounds like quite a hassle you went through with the Elantra! I've gotta say, your experience has got me bit on edge about my Hyundai Santro. Hearing that the antennas play a crucial role, tire blowout is certainly something I want to avoid. I'm so relieved that you shared this info. If you don't mind me asking, could you recall the ballpark figure you shelled out for this antenna replacement? And since you've fixed it, has there been anything else that's cropped up? Hope your ride's been smoother since then!

Hey, your worries are totally justified! So, to put you on some easy street, yep, my Hyundai's rolling smooth since we fixed the antenna prob. Not a single problem with the Tire Pressure Monitoring system, thank God! As for the cost - remember this might vary from place to place - but my mechanic charged me around 255.00 € for the fix. A little steep, you might say, but it was well worth the safety and the peace of mind it bought me. So, I highly recommend you tackle this issue soon. Anyway, keep your wheels turning and keep us updated on your Santro!

Really appreciate you sharing your experience and cost details. It's definitely given me a ballpark figure to consider. I'm glad to hear your Elantra has been fine since the fix. It certainly puts my mind at ease knowing the Tire Pressure Monitoring System is reliable once it's fixed properly. You're right about safety and peace of mind being paramount. I'm scheduling an appointment with the mechanic first thing tomorrow. Will keep you all posted about how it pans out for my old trusty Santro. Cheers for being a great help!

Oh you're speaking my language. Had a similar issue with my 2015 Hyundai Elantra not too long ago. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) was giving me a headache. Turns out, the antennas were defective and were failing to send accurate signals to the system. Took my baby to the garage and they ended up having to replace those antennas. It wasn't a quick in-and-out kind of job though, it took a bit of time. They had to dig into the tire wells to get to the root of the problem. But heads up, it wasn't a minor issue. These antennas play a crucial role in ensuring tire pressure is maintained. You see, if they're defective, they could mislead the TPMS, causing lower tire pressure and potentially leading to tire damage and even a blowout. That's a risk we don't want to take, right? So, a word of advice, get it checked out ASAP. So, yeah, not exactly the smoothest of rides, but necessary. Keep us posted on your situation. Good luck with your Santro!
