Passat B7 Estate parking sensor

[danseantom]

Hi,

My parking pilot system is playing up. Sometimes it works, others it just beeps at me, the screen says its not available and the light indicator near the gear stick flashes. Its been to a garage today to check it out, and they've determined the front nearside sensor is faulty and needs replacing. Over £250 for the work! Had a look online and a sensor is around £15. So, does anybody have any info on how you get that faulty one out, new one in, and any other reset-electrical works i need to do to resovle this?

Thanks in advance

If it is a parking sensor then they make a clicking noise (very feint) and if one isn't clicking then it is faulty, remove and replace from the bumper if you can access it
