Parking assist fault

[mattandrew]

Yesterday my A3 8P parking assist started playing up, When you put it un reverse you get a long beep then nothing. Manual states if you get this there is a fault.

Just Vagcom check and get the following.

I can see it is a problem with the rear mid left, does this mean a new sensor is need?

Anyone experienced this

Thanks in advance Matt

HI pop the sensors out and swap them over to see that the rear mid left sensor is infact the problem. It could be wiring or bad connection.
Hope this helps.
