hi guys i will try and explain this the best way i can , when i put the handbrake down to move away mine feels a bit springy i push it down and it springs up just a little anyone know if this is right or not as ive only just noticed it , it dont come up enough to put the light on the dash but should i be concerned and have it checked many thanks smoggy

hi m8 i have ordered the part from vw as they were cheaper than frauds at

hi chrome, no mate speaker not working then either m8 thanks smoggy the long tone comes from the front speaker

hi all would the speaker in he rear stop the sensors in the rear from working correctly ? i just phoned for a new one

hi insider, quite right m8 the speaker in the rear doent work so would this be enough to put the rear sensors out? i undone the speaker and connected it to the front as they are the same and it didnt work so i am thinking this maybe the problem i have had right from the start oh well we will try and get it sorted now fingers crossed many thanks smoggy

thanks insider , the speaker on the back doesnt kick in either , the module had been changed when i bought the car common fault lol, i was told that the reverse switch that makes the lights turn on has a different curcuit to the sensors dont know how correct this is,,anyway will check out what you said but still a bloody headache to say the least.it just stopped working one morning on the rear but not sure why as i havent done anything to the car for it to have stopped like this , all i have checked is the sensors changed the front to the back as the front ones work and all sensors pick up objects so not sure where to go from here really thanks smoggy

hi all anyone tell me how to locate the reverse switch on a 2001 galaxy 1.9 tdi , i have done all the checks i can so looking to find the switch? as whats happening now is when i engage the reverse gear sometimes i get a long tone and sometimes i dont real headache , anyone with other suggestions many thanks smoggy

hi guys are the sensors wired tothe reversing lights ? just something to check tomorrow for loose or broken wire /bad connection thanks smoggy

hi i had this trouble a while ago if it aint the rear pads /front then theres prob a wire touching the wall of the car its under the dash in the bonnet compartment its location is at the back there somewhere i booked mine in as it was a bloody nightmare to find but thats where they told me it was , good luck smoggy

hi guys would i be right in thinking that if the reverse lights come on then the switch is doing its job? are there wires in the boot near the top indges perhaps broken there? i really need help here guys have done all i can now until tomorrow any ideas where to look? thanks smoggy

hi mate thanks for the reply this morning have checked all wires all ok , so i decided to change all the front sensors to the rear as all the front ones work swapped them over and the rear sensors all work, so i maybe thinking it maybe the reverse switch? but anyone direct me to finding it , or has anyone got any info on this would help me out, as i have checked all possible problems and sensors working is the switch the only other thing , but if it was the reverse switch surely i wouldnt get the reverse lights ? how do the reverse gear work the sensors/many thanks smoggy

hi guys this morning the front sensors worked ok but still no rear would this be a bad sensor on the rear bumper as ive tried everything many thanks smoggy

hi guys this morning the front sensors worked ok but still no rear would this be a bad sensor on the rear bumper as ive tried everything many thanks smoggy
