Front Assist Travails

Featured Replies

Hello everyone,

My first time posting but I just wanted to give some information regarding the Front Assist error I've had on my 2018 Superb Estate SEL Exec. I finally got round to dealing with it after about a year.

The diagnosis, at my local dealership, cost £180 inc. VAT. This included the computer diagnostic test, removal of the bumper, and repositioning the radar and some wiring.

What the muppets didn't bother telling me, at any point, was that they (despite being a main dealership) do not actually have the equipment to fix the problem - i.e. calibration.

I therefore had to take it to another specialist, thankfully quite local to me, who then calibrated for £360 inc. VAT.

Thus you should expect to pay approximately £550 or thereabouts to fix a front assist radar calibration issue. Be aware also that even an innocuous bump can cause the issue to recur.

This particular issue aside, I have enjoyed owning this car and do rather like it.

I bid you all good day.

Glad you got it sorted - much more annoying to have the outlay only to have the problem come back. Fingers crossed it stays fixed.
