I think my front radar is now useless been through some heavy rain just lately and now shows front assist/ACC is unavailable & suspect water ingress may be the problem, before I go to the dealers & takeout a loan for the costs I would like to see if anyone out there can answer a few questions. (Not had it plugged in to diagnostics yet but seems the radar unit is a fairly common issue)
Is the unit prone to water ingress over time.
Does anyone have a link or easy guide to the radars accessibility. (Don't want to remove the bumper)
If I managed to get the unit out can this be opened up to dry out maybe.
If a second hand one was sourced (there are many around) what would need to happen, ie can you just fit it & hope for the best or would there be some re-programming & calibration need to be done.
And lastly anyone done this or have contact for anyone who could look into this for me Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire area.
Thanks for looking & any replies
