Long story short but my mother backed into my car earlier and did a small bit of damage incl the parking sensor. I disconnected the sensor and cleared the codes but the parking assist light is still flashing and none of the front sensors are working.

I assume because one sensor is damaged the system has just essentially shut it down until I get it fixed? 

Have the unenviable joy of replacing the matrix headlight as well but that's another story 😞😞😞

I do believe it’s one out all out Barry, but I could be wrong. 
Kind regards,

Gareth. 

Thanks Gareth. I'd imagine so. Hopefully anyway. I bought a replacement anyway. Will report back to update for any one else that might be wondering 

Did you buy genuine or EBay Barry? 

I got a genuine one from autodoc.

The headlight is a pain. Only the lens is cracked but I know it means a whole new unit

Hi you can just replace the lens but its a bit of a faf, headlight out and getting the old lens and sealant off, plenty of how to do it on YouTube 

Ah cool, I might give it a go. If it fails it's a small price to pay to try. 

Thanks Barry,

Do Autodoc sell genuine VAG ones then? Thought they were all aftermarket. 
I bought an aftermarket one from an EBay seller, and it was even embossed with the correct Audi part number. Seemed a bargain at less than £20 compared with VAG of nearer £120 each. 
Experience:- works well in dry conditions, not so in wet. 
Kind regards,

Gareth. 

That's interesting. I'll see how it goes. 

So not a genuine (Audi) one from Autodoc then Barry?

That's it there. "original part" but not genuine I'd imagine
