I appear to have a slow puncture on my 2014 Tekna.

When I use the pump supplied it takes ages to get air into the tyre, about 0.25 psi per minute. Is this normal or could,it be a faulty TPMS.

I have used 2 pumps so I don't think they are at fault.

If you’re only getting 0.25psi into the tyre in a minute then you’ve not got a slow puncture, you’ve got a gaping hole!

Either what he said or both your pumps are faulty.

Russ, if you can I would take it to a Garage and stick some proper air in the Tyre and check the TPMS Valve for leaks (if faulty they do cost). There are some Garages with Digital Read outs which are helpful. I found our QQ Pump to be not great but there again we have a spare Wheel so it is not a major. Do not forget to re-check the pressures after driving as per Handbook - Best of Luck Dave 😊
