I am being driven mad by a problem with one of the front passenger side parking sensors!!

It is almost continuously (spelling!) on!! The constant beeping also cancels out the beeps from the rear sensors so I don't know how close I am to stuff anymore!

Any ideas what could have caused this or what I can do put it right please?

I have checked the sensors and the bumper and there is no sign that they are damaged. I have also given the sensors a wipe and that doesn't seem to have sorted it either!!

Is it something that can be sorted under warrenty?

Please help before the beeping drives me to tears!!!!

I'd take a trip up to see Chris or Ben at Sparshatts Chichester if I were you.

Cheers Stu, I will do that today and see what they have to say.

I had a completely same problem 2 years ago. Cause was front plate frame not centred for only a bit. After centring it everything was OK.

I've had a 2.0TDI Elegance Estate for six months and the parking sensors have been brilliant. But yesterday they went mad - on constantly.

The only explanation I could find was that the car was parked in direct sunlight in an otherwise sheltered spot. The bumper around the sensors was very hot to touch.

I wonder if the convection currents around the hot car were enough to fool the sensors.

They were fine again 30 mins drive later.

All sorted! Mine had something to do with the front number plate too. Thanks to the guys at Sparshatts Chichester who were as helpfull as ever.

A good result then.
