As for the recondition of a TPS, Volvo sells a kit.

When I got new tires for our 2008 XCF70, the sensors were tired - My tire shop had replacements for much less than Volvo's ones.

Actually they are nicer than Volvo;s - the stem is rubber with a brass tip, they look just like regular tubeless tire valve stems - they work fine. I have since e rebuilt the old Volvo sensors and have then for spares.

BTW - My 2008 had a slow leak and the sensor alarm went off - We used our other car that day, and the next day MY KEY FOB WOULD NOT UNLOCK THE CAR! My dealer had never heard of that happening, but it happened to me three times.

My son-in-law, a Suaru tech told me that it made some sense because the door lock and the tire sensors use the same computer - they both are wireless.
