Front parking sensor module location

Featured Replies

As per the title, anyone tell me where the module that does the front parking sensors is located please?

Tried talking to Audi and the conversation went along the lines of, bring it to us to repair, no we can't tell you where it's located.....

It is on most Audi models. Or behind the bumper.

Well I bought a second hand module of off ebay, exactly the same part numbers but it seems the new one came off an automatic car, mines a manual so it doesn't work, is there anyone other than main dealers that can re program them at all? Thanks Tony.

There are a lot of independent Audi garages that can do everything that main dealers can do.

Ok, after much explaining to them.... 

Will not repair a car without first diagnosing the problem for them selves. = £65.00 Labour £60.00 diagnostics

Will not entertain trying to code another module unless supplied by them. = £65.00 Labour £60.00 diagnostics, £330.00 module, £60.00 to code it plus £65.00 Labour.

So £580.00 is plus VAT.....

Scumbags. I'd recommend looking for an auto electrican or someone who repairs modules. As abs pump ECUs etc can be repaired.

spoken to my local idependent specialists, as iv'e now had three new parking aid modules..... seems the scumbag i bought the car off tried to replace the module with the wrong module, so iv'e been buying new modules with a certain code on it 4F0 919 283 H  when it should have been a  4F0 910 283 P. and of course the one i need i can only buy from bl00dy; Latvia at nearly £200. fortunatley Volkstech near Maltby (6.5 miles away from me) say thay should be able to re program one othe the modules i have bought.....

All is not lost then.

I hope it turns out ok for you, keep us posted.
