Rear parking sensors are a bumper off job as the impact bar gets in the way (IIRC). Obviously you need to paint the new sensors before fitting (simple enough with the correct spray paints), and a diagnostic scan identifies which sensors have failed (or are failing).

I always found getting the air box off was the most difficult part of getting to the hoses, N75 etc... no sorry I meant putting it back afterwards. Short MAF sensor wires and those stupid front hoses with no flexibility.

I've always been around (lurking) muhahahaha but no, I've come back due to some people asking me questions here about my old RS6 which is up for sale again (here and on eBay). :p

Still have Audi bits to sell as well.. but can't quite give up my HEX-COM USB or Bentley DVD manuals yet, just in case. :D

P.s. Sorry for the OT waffle.

LOL, nice try though. TBH I know you can transfer them from PCs by unregistering (I had to build an XP virtual PC to get the RS6 eBahn reader to work), but I am not sure if you are able/licensed to sell them on.

Thanks for the replies all.

I think I might contemplate replacing the sensors myself. Audi told me which ones they had tested and were not working correctly.
No idea how to get the rear bumper off but assume there are some fixings hidden in the rear wheel-arch somewhere?
Guess I need to take the wheels, arch-liner etc off to have a look.

Not sure about the ARB bushes myself. Might leave this for a while and then think about getting the professionals to do this for me.
Not sure my £25 tool-kit which I bought from Argos is up to the job of sorting these!!!!
