Parking Sensors
Posted: Tue Apr 09, 2024 6:31 am
...on my friend's Fabia are playing up.
Sometimes it is OK, but sometimes he gets a continuous tone upon selecting reverse, and the graphic shows the car is too close to something when it is close to nothing.
A google search says it is almost certainly a faulty sensor. Youtube shows people 'curing' the problem by squirting the sensors with WD 40. He has tried this, but the problem still exists intermittently.
The rear bumper has to come off to get at the sensors, which is a pain in the proverbials. He is not sure how to tell which sensor might be faulty.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
John
