[chris199]

Hiya guys again, I have discoverd why my parking sensors don't work I have two faulty sensors, I bought new ones and they came today but how do I remove the bumper to change them ? Any help would be much appreciated, can't seem to find any pics or anything of people who have done this in the past

Very easy if it's the rear. Do you have saloon or avant?

 

[chris199]

Ahh Is it I've done bumpers before but god knows ware to start on this one, it's the avant.

 

[ricostuart]

Ok, front or rear?

 

[chris199]

Emm rear, found plenty on front bumper but nothen on rear

 

[ricostuart]

ok, its fairly simple (and not that different from the saloon i dont htink).

Takes me about 5-10 mins to do it now (done it about 4 times now). quite easy. the parkign sensors are easy to remove too.

Just brought the Mrs an A3, it has reverse sensors on the rear but I don't get any bleeps...belive its meant to bleep when reverse selected and longer bleep if at fault? im getting none, any ideas before she goes and damages her new ride....

Hi mate,
Where did you get your sensors from? Where they painted?

 

[chris199]

Hiya buddy,

I actually got them off amazon for less than 20each but they didn't come painted but I painted them and stuck them in with no problems here's the link for the ones I got and they were good quality, hope this helps .

Thats for that... Are they orig or replica?

 

[chris199]

No worries, there replicas but in all honesty the only difference I could see is thst they didn't have a little audi stamp on them there brilliant quality for the price and you wouldn't be able to tell there not original
