Default 2004 Audi A8 TPMS displays blank numbers

Could this because there is no spare in the trunk? Thanks. Also does anyone know where I could get a wheel for this. 18 inch I think 12 spokes. Thanks

Most likely the sensors are all dead. The batteries only last 5 to 6 years. The system doesn't care if it sees 4 or 5 sensors. If you have only a single one dead, that position will show as blanks on the display.

Yep. Something like that. TPMS works without spare wheel sensor but shuts completely down if any of four is dead. Buy all means buy 5 aftermarket sensors and all will be fine.
