Hi there for the last few days my parking sensors and reversing camera haven't been working, the button just beeps loudly and flashes but nothing works.

Anyone else had this issue? And how do I fix it?

I didn't realise how reliant I was in them until they stopped working!

Normally this is due to a faulty sensor (one of 8!) if one is down, it knocks the whole system offline, which I guess makes sense if it cannot give a full reading then you reverse into a wall!

You need a VCDS/ OBD11 scan to work out which one is not working and go from there, I did once read the sensors also make clicking noises with your ear next to them, The one that isn't clicking is therefore the one that isn't working - something you could try as well.



thanks
