Skoda Roomster tire pressure warning and steering issues

Alright, so I've got a weird issue with my 2007 Skoda Roomster, diesel engine. The tire pressure low warning keeps popping up. But here's the kicker: the ABS lamp lights up, the steering wheel is vibrating like crazy, and it takes way more effort to turn the wheel, almost like the power steering is gone. Could it be a bad tire sensor, or is it just a simple pressure loss?

Sounds familiar. I had something similar with my Roomster. Did you check the tire pressure with a tire gauge? Maybe even a punctured tire?

Yeah, I checked the tire pressure with a tire gauge, and it was definitely low. But it didn't seem like a flat tire, you know? Could a slightly punctured tire cause all those problems? Like, the ABS and steering wheel shake? Doesn't sound right.

That's exactly what happened to me! The pressure loss triggered all sorts of warnings. Best get it checked out; it might save you some headaches. Does it sound like a defective tire sensor?

Just wanted to say you were right. I took it to a workshop, and it turned out to be a faulty tire valve that was causing a slow air leak. A new valve was fitted, tire pressure sorted, and the warnings are gone. Cost me 280€ all in. Thanks for your help!
