TPMS valve stems corroding

[NothingBUTasian]

I bought my car with aftermarket rims on it but I was also able to get the OEM rims as well with snow tires. I tried putting them on the other day and 2 of them were flat. I went to take the valve cap off and it was completely corroded. I tried to get them off with pliers and they completey broke off.

Do I have to only change the Valve stem?...or do I have to replace the whole sensor? I see on genuine audi parts that it is listed as two separate part numbers. Thanks in advance.

no answers at all?...really?...nobody has had a problem with this?

You only need to change the valve stem if it is bad. If the sensor is bad, change it also. But that would mean breaking the bead and performing a visual inspection on the sensor.

is that the right part number for just the valve stem?

Seems to be it since it is for all of the above.
