Default European TPS questions

I have a Euro spec 2000 fitted with C6 wheels.

The TPS system doesn't work obviously but what is the cheapest fix?

1. buy 4 Euro spec sensors (horendous cost)
2. convert to later spec, including fobs etc.
3. is there a conversion to the C6 system? fors controller etc?

Thanks for any advise.

Conversion to the '01-'04 system would run you about $400.00.

No, you can't convert to a C6 system, too many differences.

You could do a delete system if you don't need sensors:

I agree with Mark C5. #2 is your best option.

That sounds to me like the best option so far!
