Paking sensors

Post by Pradaman » Thu Feb 03, 2011 7:12 pm

Got a 55 plate 3.0d got in it tonight, selected reverse sensors beeped for about 20 secs and the parking sensor button was flashing green. Any ideas? Tried it again and still not working.

you have a sensor gone bad mate. get a code rear done it will tell you which one it is. they are about £80 each but usually plenty on ebay

Cheers Dave. Do I need to go to the stealers for a code read? Can the sensor be changed without removal of bumper?

no need to go to the dealer, any decent garage should be able to do a code read for you on the pdc. sorry but if its a front sensor gone then the bumper has to come off but its not hard. the rear from memory can be done without removal.
