I have fabia monte carlo 2016 110 hp with 6 speed manual transmission.

When i shift in reverse maxi dot doest show that it is in reverse.

Rear parking sensors do work but sometimes they keep beeping for 5-10 seconds eaven if i shift in neutral and pull the handbrake.

Hi, welcome.

Could it be a revers switch issue, or perhaps a computer system brain fart, what shows on the infotainment screen?.

Do you know if you reversing lights operate as they should?

My wife's 2015 5-speed manual has a delay in stopping the bleeping from reverse when taken out of revers gear but not 5-10 seconds.

Usual things of make sure 12v battery is in reasonable state of charge at least, check sensors are clear and clean, the wires and connections to them are good, same for reversing switch area (you may have more than one issue to this presentation). Plug in a scan tool to see what that can tell you.

When i shift in reverse park pilot opens on infotainment screen

I didn't realise they had "Park Pilot" (bloody silly marketing terms) then, well there's another layer of complexity on top of the already (over sometimes) complex and intertwined VW computer systems, programs and programming. Plugging in a scan tool might help even more but still don't neglect the physical basics checks.

But thinking about it I've never noticed R on the white dot screen on my wife's car but the Park Pilot is only her or my wonky eyes if I'm driving - if yours previously shoed R in whiter dots and now doesn't that's a different thing.

It will continue to bleep if you are still close to something, in case you start to roll back.

Thanks. AG Falco

I had a chance to test reverse gear tonight.

I've never noticed it has "ParkPilot" (no space between words how twee) at corner if infotainment screen, so the three reversing sensors have a system name..

It took the computer system 5 seconds from me driving forward for the screen to clear the "ParkPilot", I have noticed a delay before.

I never saw 1 gear in white dots until going above 5 mph (forward) there was no white dots 'R' from the three times of going in reverse (I got up to 8 mph in reverse) - but perhaps 'R' was added with 6 gears, my wife's 2015 Fabia is 5 gears.

I bought the car 3 months ago, but havent noticed it untill yesterday. I asumed R is supposed ti show on display.

It bleeps for 5 - 10 seconds if i park close to a wall.

I'm not sure these things are covered but a lot more is in the 'Owner's Manual' for the car which should have come with the car but can be lost (same as second key) as a second-hand used car. The 'Owner's Manual' for a 2016 is a paper printed book. If you read it and refer to it when you required you can learn a lot about the car and save yourself time, hassle and money from avoiding unnecessary visits to Dealerships, garages, mechanics and auto-electricians.

If you read it you can often know more about the car than some long term owners too.

If you don't have the paper printed copy of the 'Owner's Manual' then you can get a free VWŠkoda pdf copy from their website, part-year manufacture or VIN applicable. - https://www.skoda-auto.com/apps/manuals/Models

At 8-9 years old the car should have had a fair bit of "service" and "maintenance" behind it, the VWŠkoda schedules for these things are already pretty thin so if owners are late or miss some of them things are thinner still. See an old out-date for prices schedule below, note very important systems like brakes, steering and suspension (all three include tyres) and lighting, safety electrics are not mentioned really.

One thing that is important to the complex and intertwined VW computer systems and programs is that the car's 12v battery needs to be in a reasonable state of charge otherwise they can start to play up and throw up all sorts of warnings, error codes and issues that affect the car. The headlights might seem bright enough and the engine start and the battery still be in a lower state of charge than the computers like, there are lots of threads and posts about this. All can be prevented by appropriate driving or better still the very occasional use of an appropriate battery charger maintainer in a preventative manner.

There is lots of information on this site and members willing to offer information and advice, most will relate to UK cars but the differences tend to be small.

If you could add 1.2(?) TSI (?) engine code (CJZD?) 110 PS, 6 speed manual to your details that can sometimes speed things up for those that look at 'Author's stats'. Click on the down arrow ( v ) at the top right corner of my post as an example.
