Pentathlete Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 In reverse the parking assist light (on the button) has started flashing randomly and each time it flashes a high pitched 'beep' sounds behind me - no, it's NOT the beep telling me there's something behind my car! ). Sounds like an error of some sort. Any ideas anyone? Easy fix? Cheers all, Mat ps A8 D3 2005 3.0l LWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbutler Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Mine does that too, VAG-COM tells me it is the inner right rear sensor. Bought new sensor and fitted it, fault remains. It's thus likely to be the sensor loom. Need to remove bumper to look at it and/or find out where the other end plugs in to. You need someone with vag-com to diagnose the fault.

TrundleFly Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Mine was doing that and then someone on here suggesting resetting my MMI and that pretty much fixed it. It does play up every now and then but most of the time is OK. One of my sensors does need fixing though as on the visual thing one of the lines is always missing. There is a combo of buttons you need to hold down to reset it but I can't remember what it is. It's in the manual though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentathlete Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Thanks guys. It all seems better today. Maybe just being turned off and on was enough of a reset!? It's under warranty if not...at least I HOPE it is!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrundleFly Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 If it's under warranty still then go and get it looked at before it runs out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentathlete Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 It's a third party warranty so I've got 2.5 years left but i'd still need to pay for diagnostics if it happened again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentathlete Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Damn... spoke too soon...it's back again. Anyone got any ideas on the button combination for MMI reset? I don't have my manual anymore... otherwise I'll have to take it down to the garage for VAG com etc and hope it's just the sensor and not the loom... any ideas of parts costs?

Pentathlete Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Here you go, read this thread:http://www.tyresmoke.net/forum/audi-a8-s8/124109-reverse-sensors-gone-weird.html Thanks for that Trundlefly, very helpful! It keeps getting better then happening again. I'm starting to think it's the controller, yesterday it wasn't working at all on the front and sporadic on the back. Does that sound about right to people? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
