Parking Sensor

[sadgunner]

Can you help please?

My Galaxy Mk2 2003 tdi 130 hasnt any parking sensors, just a continuous bleep when reverse is engaged, no light / or control on de-activating switch on dash.

Happened after i took car to garage to have nearside strut bush replaced.I know that he removed front plastic fascia under bonnet to get at rusted nut on top of strut.

He also re-attached rear washer tube under front sill! Could water have seeped in any controls?

Before it went to garage it worked perfectly.

Can anyone help please.

Cheers

sounds like they disconnected something and not got it back right

I had a similar problem.

 

When they are switched on, lightly run your finger over each sensor. You should feel a light buzzing / ticking feeling from each one that has power.

 

Mine was a broken wire just as it came out of the rear sensor.

 

Hope that's some help.

There is'nt any response apart from continuous buzzing when reverse is engaged. I AM ASSUMING THAT IT IS THE CONTROL BOX. Where can you get these fairly cheaply? Any ideas please?

Sounds like a good deal.

 

I had the same problem after the floor well filled with water from the rear washer pipe and the reverse sensor unit got soaked. Unable to bring it back to life but managed to get one from a VW dealer for
