My superb has been playing up over the last day or two. When reversing I get the error code "optical parking system is not available at present". I cleaned all the rear sensors but still got error code. I then can drive for 10 or 15 minutes and when I select reverse it works fine as it used to. I could also use the auto parking option when I was getting error message. Anyone help please?

I would assume that one of the senors is faulty. Others will be along soon with a more defined answer.

Mine was the same...

 

Had to replace this.

_{Thanks to all who replied. Can anyone advise where to buy a compatible sensor that will do the job please?}

_{It is a silver superb but I have no problem putting a black sensor on as I know the dealers charge a small fortune for each one.}

_{Any help would be appreciated.}

I have similar problems with my Mk 1. Bought second hand ones from breakers yards, what a waste of time. Sometimes there are deals on EBay. In the end. Bought mine from Skodaspares.com and fitted them myself.

 

Can anyone advise how to identify what scanner/s that are faulty. Saw another post saying that the sensors make a clicking noise but I cannot hear anything. Any info would be appreciated
