    D3 rear parking sensors intermittent beep

    Hi all. My D3 has recently started doing weird stuff with the rear parking sensors. They will function as normal, with the beeping increasing tempo as I get closer, BUT they will also sometimes sound a solid tone when there is nothing behind the vehicle. This is intermittent, obviously only when in reverse.

    Is there a known issue with this, and a fix? I've searched already.

    Thanks
    Regards, Will

    The cause could be a broken sensor wire still within its insulation so that it only sometimes looses contact. My D4 developed such a fault and inconsistent behaviour.

    Mine meant there was dirt around the sensor face and grommet..

    Pressure wash sorted it all

    G'day Will,

    I had the same thing: sometimes it worked, but mostly I got the solid beep. I tracked it down to one sensor, working this out by selecting reverse, glen selecting neutral on a flat surface and getting out and covering each sensor until I found the faulty sensor (obviously don't put the park brake on). Low- tec solution, I have just covered the sensor with a wad of blu-tac. I need to replace it but I haven't got around to it as yet.

    James
