Default parking sensors

Hi Peeps. Thanks to my Guru Marcin for scanning my car yesterday, unfortunately we could not see any fault come up on the VCDS??? the sensors are constantly beeping at the rear when its in reverse any ideas? On the VCDS it was showing funny range on the rear three sensors when we were testing, could all three be faulty and no code?

Sounds like a misread rather than dead.
When they are dead, the system beeps once and then turns off and goes back to MMI screen and sets a fault code. Yours just seem to be giving the wrong signals.
Do you have the graphic of which sensor is showing the obstacle on your PDC screen on the MMI?

sometimes when they are wet you can get moisture trapped in the sensor (or after jet washing) and it can make them stay "on"

Thanks guys, it shows the rear left side ones on the vcds. On the mmi it shows the inner rear left? Can I access the sensors without removing the rear bumper? thanks

With small hands and a bit of double joint action
I have managed but managed to come away with marked hands.
