Parking Sensor Part Number!

[Integrity]

Hello, I am new here and having purchased my first Galaxy I would imagine I will be spending a lot of time here. The parking sensors do not work on my vahicle. Auto Electrician suggests 2 at the front and 2 at the rear are faulty. My questions are 1. Are the sensors the same for both the front and back please? and 2. Has anyone got the part numbers for these sensors please. I have found some Mondeo sensors cheap, will these fit OK? Thanks so much in anticipation

No, you need specific sensors for the type of controller in the car. You need Galaxy, Sharan or Alhambra sensors - the fronts and rears are the same but the system needs to see a full set working before it will operate so fitting the fronts to the rears won't work to get just half a system up.

Hi, yes he did exactly same deal for me as he did for you, they arrived the following morning,unfortunately it now appears that I need a front parking control panel and buzzer. I have sent him an email to ascertain if he has one. Does anyone knopw if the front and back are the same please?

I'm not following what you need?

 

The Park Distance Control (PDC) ecu controls both front and rear sensors - the sounders are different though, one in the back next to the nearside light cluster and the front down under the passenger seat with the ECU.

Really sorry for the confusion, I have had a really good auto electrician look at the parking sensors. It appears that there were four defective ones. I have obtained servicable sensors and fitted them. It now appears that the Box and sounder under the front nearside seat are corroded due to water ingress. and it is these that need replacing. Hope this clears up any confusion.
