Hi All - my reversing sensors packed in 6-7 months ago (2003 1.9TDi Comfort)

Couldn't be bothered to investigate / start swapping them out so just put up with the long loud beep when selecting the backwards cog

Two days ago they started working perfectly again, 10k after failing. The same day I had a rear brake bulb notification on the maxidot, so hooked out and replaced the rear right bulb. Immediately afterwards I sat in reverse waiting to pull out of a space at the garage for over a minute - got the normal long beep upon selection, however as I moved out and closed in on another car refuelling they came back to life

So, was it the bulb change? Was it leaving it in reverse for far longer than normal?

Seems more than coincidental!

The wire for the sensors must pass near there and you disturbed it< for the better >
