Tourer parking sensors .......

gbs100 · 15th March 2018, 19:52

Hi I've had my car nearly 5 years now and in all that time it's parking sensors have never worked. There is no long beep when I select reverse. Or faint clicking from any of the sensors.

Is this a cry for Help or just a statement of facts.---

I assume that since its been 5 years you have reversing lights as a broken reversing switch gives that symptom but with the added joy of no reversing lights.

Just seen its an auto. That's something I've never had so don't know if my suggestion applies.

Hi yes I need help otherwise I wouldn't be asking on here lol. My reverse lights work ok. Would a t4 be able to locate the problem. I want to get them working as my wife sometimes struggles with parking in tight spaces.

Check the connectors in the rear offside of the boot. Behind the carpeted panel. They are just push connectors. Worth checking they are tight and free of corrosion. It had crossed my mind that the ‘beeper’ is defective, as mine was, although if you say there’s definitely no clicking coming from the sensors with reverse engaged then it’s less likely.

Replacing with a cheap aftermarket system is easy! A few members have done this including myself as it was safer than trying to replace the sounder in the instrument cluster. Mk1 cars have the sounder in the boot.

T4 will identify the issue easily, and it will let you know which (If any) Of the sensors are defective.

Graeme, you could alway pop up to my place, kettle would be on too

Anyway, I alway thought girls from the Boro didn't need parking sensors, Chris scoffs at me having PDC.

Or perhaps Michelle is more genteel
