Hello Everyone

 

i really need help,and i don't want to pay stupid prices to skoda to find the problem,as i can't afford

i have a amazing breaking skoda company what sells cheap parts which also helps me

 

the Issue i have:

 

My reverse sensor has stopped working,when i put the car (Blue Skoda Octavia Vrs 2007 Mk2 ) in reverse

the sensor (image) and sound doesn't work,i took this to a friend,who said i need a new sensor box

which i purchased for £30 from a breaking company

it arrived and i fitted it today,it's doing the same issue

 

when i place it in reverse it makes a long beep noise then,then no image or sound will appear, then when i take it out of reverse the image of the car will appear for 1second

now i have 2 sensor boxes,which i believe are working

as the image wouldn't show at all :/

 

so why does the image not show on the screen when i stick in reverse and why does my reverse sensors (noise) go off when i reverse close to objects? 

shall try another sensor box?

is it a sesnor what has failed?

 

i don't have clue

i need help :/ 

 

Thankyou for reading

Sounds like sensor(s) failure, I had the two inners fail.

To check, switch ignition on but do not start engine.

Engage reverse gear and put your ear to each of the four sensors at the rear.

A working sensor emits a faint clicking sound.

Replacement sensors can be had for £10 on eBay and replacing them, although fiddly, is easy.

Search this forum for a how to.

Thankyou =)

i will get someone to put it in reverse and i will listen to each sesnor

You need to find out the issue before wasting money on parts you might not need.

 

If one item doesn't work it will knock out the whole system.
