GR Yaris What did you do to your GR Yaris today?

Fitted my Eventuri I take, plus carbon engine cover and GRMN knob.

Scraped off frost for the first time this year then started the car and all the tyre pressure sensors went off so got out and gave them some winter pump.

Same here, NSR flagged up this morning, then 4pm today it cleared

Yes they do seem to be a bit over-sensitive. My Audi doesn't flagg up unless a bigish pressure loss, and my previous Focus RS was much the same as well.

I love the engine additions . Your knob looks good to LOL. How much were the engine bits

Thanks. Think they come to around £1650.
Want the fuse cover in carbon and perhaps a carbon strut brace next.
 
Yeah echo above. Didn't flash up this time but in that -4 cold snap last year the sensors threw a wobbly and said pressure low but I drove down the road and everything warmed up and started working fine! 😅 (y)

I don't really want to be the nerd in the room but the pressure sensors go off when it's cold because the pressures are lower, they change by approximately 0.19 PSI/° C.

So if you've pressured the tyres correctly to 30 PSI in the summer, at say 20°C, at -4°C the pressure will be 4.6 PSI lower, or 25.4 PSI, more than enough of a drop to set the pressure warning off.

Yeah that's fine but we mean in the really cold weather the system can't even register the pressures so it just reads null -- until the frost melts off! 😅 (y)
 
So I fuelled up today. 98 price has dropped 30c/L to 221.9c/L. Car is still filthy. A sparkling Range Rover pulled up at the next pump. "Maaate, she needs a wash and some love.." So I reply maybe, but then again it has seen more gravel road this week than your Rangie has in its 6 years of life. Strangely no more conversation :) :) :) :)
