Hi

Does anyone have the box of tricks near the A4 Wilts/Berks area?

I've got a fault with the parking sensor, which is mentioned in the manual actually so obviously not that unusual. Anyone ever had this?

I'm getting a long beep once they activate for the first time and the LED in the button is flashing.

Hopefully this is something that can be reset?

Cheers

Mine did exactly the same for 2 or 3 days a while ago, but seems to have cured itself, and is working fine now.

most likely logged a fault code. are both ends n/w? had any fender benders that might have disconnected a sensor?

only tried reverse, but I'd guess it was both ends! No bumps, sensors all intact. It first did it when I collected after service. Seems odd that the manual refers to it happening.

easiest to check with vdcs, but if you don't have it, do a quick visual of the wiring.

they are difficult to service without removing the bumper skin. the rear is pretty straight forward, maybe 30 mins work (6 nuts and a few torx bolts. audiworld has a good writeup. when you remove the skin you will see the sensors and their wiring.
