Hi everyone, my 2014 superb started to be funny when in reverse, no sensors working just 1 weard beep noise, not the usual and a message appears about the optical parking system isn't available at the present (haven't got OPS!) Scanned with carista and the fault code is 1078804,anybody any help would be much appreciated, thank youuu

1078804 - Left Rear Parking Aid Sensor

Welcome to the forum,

 

1078804 - Rear Left Parking Aid Sensor - B1076 14 [008] -- Open or Short to Ground

So it would appear that you have a duff sensor, but most likely it will be a cable fault (mice/rats or just salty road corrosion)

That's what a quick google shows for that code.

 

Edit: Sorry @pab567 didn't even see you had made a reply, I was in another browser window.

@varooom no need to be sorry, it only proves who are the ones following this forum

Thank you very much gents for the quick response, really appreciate it 👍

You may have to get out the wiring diagrams to check.

I made this post after my own parking sensor wire fault occurred, where mine had corroded in several places.

You can buy a "mini loom" section to go from the inside of the car to the sensors if you cannot repair it.

 

Thanks again mate 🤝

How many sensors has yours got, 4 or 6 on the rear?

4 and the left is the faulty 

Doesn't look like a normal wire which I could fix and it is too close to the sensor plug 🤔

You should be able to purchase the plug, or get one from a scrapper and splice further back perhaps.

Ok I'm going to have look, cheers again 

Found one with the same OEM number so hopefully will fit in, thank you for your help guys

Got the plug, slightly thicker wires and tried all colour combination but nothing 🙄

Ive got the same problem with my money pit of a car. troble is mine is very intermitent.

The guys here helped with the error code and it was the left hand side sensor, I mean not the actual sensor but the wire was snapped, changed the plug with new wires on but still the same, to be honest did not have much time to look at it, maybe this weekend
