Audi A8 Front Parking Sensors

[Micheluzzu]

I have a faulty parking sensor on my 2010 A8 and having bought a replacement i would like to remove the trim below the headlamp washer (which houses the sensor) without damage, can anyone help as Audi wanted £238 labour to remove the complete front bumper for wiring examination?

Hi Mike, I believe the bumper trim just unclips from the bumper. However I have a suspicion the sensor is mounted from behind and as such access may be limited.

You could try to get acceess by removing the fog light grill but i suspect its a bumper off job.

Hi Steve. Thanks for the info. Looks like Audi will be getting the job after all as I am 70 and not about to start removing body panels. I've had the car for 4 1/2 years and have driven it to South West France 4 times without problems, amazing car!
