Hi All

Started getting the dreaded long beep for the rear sensors. VCDS gives mechanical malfunction acroos the 4 sensors (01545 - 01548). Any ideas where i should start to troubleshoot?

Trouble with these sensors is that only one of them has to fail for the whole lot to stop working.

Put the car into reverse and turn the ignition on (but not so that the engine comes on).

Place your ear up against each sensor and you should hear a faint crackling noise. If you can't it means the sensor is dud.

I think new sensors are something in the region of £100 EACH from a dealership. You're much better off getting a £20 aftermarket set from Ebay that seem to be much better than the Skoda ones.

I gave up with mine. I need to disconnect the annoying loud beeper sometime, but that's all I'm going to do. It isn't worth spending money on this car unless it's essential in my view. Rear beepers I can live without.

That doesnt work as there is no static from any of the sensors.

managed to clear the fault logs and got an error on the mid left sensor. swapped it with the mid right and got the error on that. cleaning it made no difference. although the errors were different i will probarly need to buy a new sensor. Damn they are expensive.

Not worth the money IMO, another sensor will surely fail and you'll be back to square one again.
