Afternoon all,

 

So I took my VRS into the skoda garage this morning for them to look at. The problem I'm having is that my parking sensors pick up "something" when there's nothing around me. It was so bad on the drive the other week my car sounded like a police siren as it was saying i was in the critical zone at the front and rear so the bleeping was all over the place!

 

When I spoke to the chap at skoda he said "yea.. is it a vrs?", well yes... "oh... we've had a few of these come back... skoda say they are just too advance and they can even pick up mist"... in my mind, that;s a fault, beeping away when i'm trying to park does not help me at all.. just makes me a nervous wreck! I wonder what the story will be when I pick it up later.

 

I've had the car from Jab 4th and so farthe other issues are:

 

1) the supaguard covering is missed from a panel

2) the fuel cap popping in thingy is broke

3) the whole light options cluster came entirely from the car (apart from the wires) when I tried to put the fog lights on...

4) the air con isn't cold

 

You've gotta wonder if they actually do any checks on used cars before pushing them out the door?

 

Has anyone else experienced problems with the parking sensors on their vrs?

Mine are sensitive to very heavy rain when parked into the driving wind. During January there were a few days when they'd bleep continuously as soon as reverse engaged if it had rained heavily all night. Soon dried though with a bit of sun on the bumper, just the incessant wet over the past couple of months really.

 

Did it earlier last year once or twice, but only after the most extreme storms. 

 

Otherwise they've worked just fine to date and fingers crossed it stays that way.

My parking sensors do the same in misty damp conditions. Dealer fobbed me off too.

The light switch might be you being too forceful with it as that's how you take the switch out, by twiddling it in a similar way as you described with a twist & pull.

I am afraid this is an issue many people have reported and suffered from especially after heavy rain and wind. One of my rear sensors kept going off every time I engaged reverse but after a bit of dry weather everything is ok now and I have tried everything to stop this happening but I now know after having  my car for over a year that this is something I will have to live with.

There have been a few members on here who have even changed the offending sensors but still the issue remains and something that will happen from time to time when it rains.

 

Have a look at this.
