Ahhhhh, a little bit too far! It is a nightmare when you have electrical issues such as this and you feel like you're throwing lots of time and money at it. What annoys me is that I fitted rear sensors to my daughters and partners car and each kit cost less than one sensor on my Yeti. Good luck with sorting it and please let us know the outcome. Regards

It doesn't give you a specific cause which isn't helpful and if you don't know which sensor is bad, you just throw money at it. The sensor you replaced could be good (unless more than one sensor is bad), in which case, I'd swap out another to see if that fixes it and if not, on to the next sensor and so on. Where is your location? If you're near, I'd scan your vehicle

Hi, here is an update from the parking sensor issue I've been expeiencing. When the fault first occured 3 weeks ago, I got a long beep when selecting reverse and a message on the infotainment saying that park pilot was unavailable. I did the usual things of rebooting the infotainment, removing the fuse for the infotainment, disconnecting the battery for 10 mins, spraying the sensors with WD40 etc etc. As none of these things worked, I spoke to a local VW/Audi specialist and although he is cheaper than a main stealer, I couldn't justify the cost of a garage. As previously mentioned, I took the plunge and got the full system scanner and found the fault. It is also very important to note that the correct sensor is purchased as I found out (which delayed the time taken to solve the issue). I fitted the sensor this morning and it didn't fix the problem and gave another fault code. I scratched my head for a couple of minutes and decided to unplug the sensor and turn it around 180 degrees and that sorted the the issue. As you have probably gathered by now, some sensors, if not all, can be connected the wrong way round! I have attached 2 photos, one of the original fault code and one of the second fault code when the plug was fitted incorrectly. The system is now back up and running at a financial cost of £105 for the scanner and £12 for a sensor. The mechanic said I could easily be looking at £200 (depending on the fault) which is why I bought the scanner and I now have that for any future issues which I have no doubt that there will be more. The scanner will also register new batteries (if needed), carry out a forced DPF regen and so much more. I hope this helps 🤞

I couldn't be bothered / don't have time to root out the problem with my reversing sensors so I ordered a new full system scanner and it told me that the centre right sensor was faulty. I ordered one, it was wrong but now hopefully have the correct one. They're easy to get to on a Yeti and once I've fitted it, I'll update as to how accurate the scanner is. My local VW Audi specialist wanted the car for half a day and £36 for the system scan. The scanner I got was £105 , lifetime updates and I'm sure I'll use it enough to more than pay for itself many times over 🤞🏻
