2019 xc60 tpms

[paulkmoore]

Hi all,

First post here, so please feel free to redirect as appropriate.

I have an XC60 purchased March 2019 (don't know how to check the MY I'm afraid) and I want to purchase a set of winter wheels and tyres.

I'm trying to check whether I need a set of TPMS sensors for the new wheels and frankly I'm struggling a little.

• The User Manual appears to be silent on whether the TPMS is direct or indirect.
  
• I have spoken with my local dealer who advises that the car has direct TPMS (i.e. sensors in the wheels)
  
• Everything I can find on the web suggests that the newer models use indirect.

So, I'm confused and somewhat unclear as to how to get an authoritative answer.

Questions:

1. Can anybody with a recent XC60 that's been through this confirm whether they needed TPMS sensors, or not?
   
2. Anyway I can check whether I have direct or indirect without having to remove a tyre?

Thanks in advance

Paul

Hi. There is no direct sensors on the recent Volvos ( at least 5-6 years back). It is very likely the dealer you have spoken to is one of the most who doesn't know their staff.

Paul.
Your model will use the ABS wheel sensors to measure any differential wheel rotational values to determine which wheel(s) are going slower than the others to use as a guide for which tyre has a puncture.
So quick answer is there are No Sensors which makes changing from Summers to Winters a simple case of just removing the wheel sets.

Perfect - thanks both
