Parking Sensors

Post by mattyc » Sun Nov 30, 2014 7:32 pm

Another job on my list is to get the parking sensors sorted.

Here are my error codes:

PDC  ->  11/C6 - Converter, rear right
                15/86 - Converter, front right
                16/C8 - Converter, front centre left

My question - is it right/left as you look at the car from the front? Found some sensors here:

Just unsure which sensors I am replacing on the car.

From drivers seat direction regards to view of pdc.
Fronts,middle are straight types and corners are 90 degrees.
Rears are I believe are same as the front straight type parking sensorss.

Thanks folks. For anyone that stumbles across this thread here is the OEM diagram for parking sensors:

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=66&fg=05

Number 4 (Part number: 66206989069) - covers all 4 rear sensors and 2 front middle
Number 12 (Part Number: 66206989068) - front right and front left

eBay was £10.99 per sensor delivered at the time of writing this post.
