Title: Parking Sensor Problem
Post by: real on April 25, 2011, 09:28:30 pm

Good evening,

The parking sensors on my vehicle have suddenly stopped working: there is no beeping or noise from the system.

I read somewhere to check each sensor by listening for a clicking when in reverse and there is a clicking from each sensor.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

are they factory or aftermarket?
if they are factory you need vag-com

I think they are factory fitted; but I wouldn't know how to tell...

Is there no other way to self diagnose without going to a dealer?

Take a pic and post it up. Factory ones sit flush with the bumper and are colour coded. Dealer-fit/aftermarket ones tend to protrude more.

hi mate if they are after market put the car in reverse and see if each one vibrates. if one isnt then the system will register a fault and may not work.
