Looking for some help with PDC problems - replaced faulty front sensor but PDC fault beep still persists (all sensors clicking).

Usual beer token arrangement available  :)

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately the scanner doesn't always pinpoint which sensor is faulty, unless its totally dead, if they are all clicking it might struggle to pick which one is faulty.
Hope you get it sorted, I ended up getting my own scanner as they are only £30 off EBay.if you only use it a couple of times it pays for its self in convenience alone.

If you fancy popping over to Bassingbourn Nr Royston I'll happily plug you into our Bosch KTS system I use at our garage, It successfully picked up the faulty sensor on my X5.

INPA shows the detection range for each sensor and will show which is triggering it.

I think Navcoder also does this (from research) but cannot say for sure...
If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....
Please note...
Anything I say is only from my personal experience and knowledge..
I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)
