Using supplied flat tyre repair aerosol

[Gel]

I know if you use the aerosol [if you have a flat somewhere remote], that the tyre depot will
probably not be able then to repair the puncture, but does the foam also kill the TPMS valve too??

no as it`s a sealed unit so your ok. if your gonna use the flat tyre repair gunk that came with you car you`ll find it`s out of date now as they only have 3yrs on them

Thanks; my 2019 (CX5), gunk bottle shows expiry date of 10/24, so still some life in it.
Mazda's system is different to Nissan's, in that it's not an aerosol, but a container of Malaysian
liquid rubber; there's a valve stem removal kit too.


Unfortunately, unlike on my Qashqai I can't instantly call up individual tyre pressures;
it uses a direct system, and shows tyre warning if 25% below recommended; it doesn't
show which tyre is the problem.

If I remember correctly you would need a new compressor to, unless you can get the gunk out of it before it goes off

Not worth the trouble - It will only temporarily bung up minor punctures ie nail. It will not work on anything substantial.
The first thing I did was ditch it for a spare wheel spacesaver.
