[Q] Replacement Front Sensor

[ricostuart]

Hi all,

Does anyone know what the cost would be to replace the front drivers side parking sensor? Mine was somewhat eaten! Yup, its true. I was in Longleat Safari Park and a bloomin' monkey started chewing on the sensor! It still works, but its pretty damaged.

Thanks!

I don't actually know - but can predict it will be more than you wsould believe possible. Maybe a trip to the breakers yard or eBay?

If just the outside and particularly the edge is damaged you should be able to fake it up with resin filler without affecting its performance.

Here is a pic of it - it still works fine, but its the surround thats damaged.

To replace, is it a nightmare bumper removal job or just a pull out, unplug job?

it would be difficult to remove without pressing in the tabs at the back of the sensor - trying to remove just from the front could damage the surrounding paintwork.

ah, so its probably more expensive than its worth. Well until it stops working anyway!
