Default Inner left centre pdc

Hi guys newbie here, great site and very useful read. My front inner centre sensor is defective. I am told it's a complete bumper out job? Can anyone advice the easiest procedure if there is one???! Can I just take the left headlight out and access that way? Any diagrams will be much appreciated as I intend to tackle it this weekend.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum. If you go to the D3 common faults section there is a D3 Tech Dump, section called "Exterior Body Repairs" or similar contains a section on how to remove the bumper. I'd copy and paste it for you but I'm useless with this iPad

Incidentally, the same position one went on mine a few months ago, the fella who replaced it for me said he managed to do it by loosening the bumper off and easing it forward a little so it may not be a bumper off job by the sound of it.

Good luck

did it on mine, you need to remove the wheels, remove the wheel arch lining and you will see 2 or 3 bolts that keep the bumper on, loosen them off until the bumper pulls forward enough to get your hand in , best to have a new sensor standing by, but often the wires just become loose, i plugged it back in firmly and taped it a bit, no problems since. be careful with the washer bits and pieces
