A3 8P Option fitted rear parking sensor location

[Andydwilliamson]

I’m sure this has been asked before but......

I’ve been told there is ‘probably’ an issues with the rear parking sensor module. It gives a long beep when reverse is selected and then nothing......

So can anyone help me locating the parking sensor module, which was fitted as an option, on my 2009 A3 P8 and if it’s easy to replace the module. 

Thanks

Andy

Hi Andy, welcome to the forum :) 

youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

i think the module is in the boot on the left hand side. You'll have to take the boot side trim off. This is also the same for the a4 and a6 c5. I also believe there are 2 different types of module. One that is just for rear sensors and one that is for front and rear sensors.

Unsure on how easy it is to replace though. Iv also attached a couple of images from google as to the boot side and what the part should look like. 

Dont go off the part number on the image though as I think the part changed slightly from 2008 on but don't quote me. Just what I'm reading on eBay listings. 

Hope iv helped :) 

cheers
