Yet another of the quirky things that have happened to my Skoda since buying in 2009. Things stop working then , visiting the garage they are ok . This one is particularly annoying as I have been used to knowing how tight I can park. Please does anyone have a suggestion PS It has just passed an MOT despite being written off three times.It is not pretty but gets me to the Supermarket and back!

Are they aftermarket reverse sensors? Could be wrong but I don't think factory ones were available on the Mk1 Fabia?

 

Check if the reversing lights are working as the reversing light switch on the gearbox might have failed.

I have them on my 2.0 Elegance, they drive me nuts.

Ah, ok.

Hi Thank you so much for replying

The reversing lights do come on - fortunately or I guess it wouldnt have passed an MOT? dont know if it is part of the test? I have done precisely 166 miles since the last MOT!! A trip to London and back - during which we had a new quirk red light on all the time which stopped when I took it to the garage. Maybe its quirkiness is prompted by the last thing my ex did for me - was to source this conundrum of a car ( He has a new marriage - and I have a car!!! tmi probably

Anyway the sensors have always been there - but someone hit my car ( I was at home in bed, luckily ) and knocked the bumper clean off But this was at least nine years ago so it has lasted until now. I must say on browsing this site it has had almost all the things people mentio hahaha!

Difficult to diagnose something like this over the internet.

Reversing lights are not part of the MOT.

Thanks for that TMB
