Parking sensors...

Post by marc1 » Sat Nov 21, 2015 4:26 pm

When one goes, is it inevitable that the others will follow shortly afterwards?

Just had my car in for a spot of paint to tidy up a few scuffs, etc and the one of the rear sensors had gone shortly before. I supplied the body Shop with a new sensor, which has been fitted. However again, I get the long constant beep when selecting reverse.

Listening to the sensors one by one, the near side centre sensor clicking seems a lot fainter than the others. The off side centre sensor was the one that's just been replaced.

Does it make sense to get another three new sensors in one go?

It wouldn't hurt to get new ones but they are expensive especially from the stealers, the cheapest I have found that are genuine are from www.5-5-5.eu at £10.99 each

Cheers mate. Got one for a similar price from a store on eBay. Just thinking it would be worth doing the other three too. PITA after just having the bumper off. Can only assume the faint buzzing mode from the sensor means it's on it's way out.

No problem, it sounds like there on the way out, at least the body Shop will know how to get the bumper off !! And hopefully have some paint left over :D
