I think he meant to check measuring blocks with VCDS, it will show the readings from individual sensors, the odd one must be faulty.

OK, I can do a scan with VCDS and I've even managed to recode with it to allow the use of the radio clock.
But I have no idea how to check the measuring blocks!

Since you've got no fault codes, sounds to me like the bleeps are the normal 'obstruction' bleeps and that the system 'thinks' there's an obstruction because a sensor in misbehaving enough to cause a false positive but not enough to trigger a fault code.
My guess would either dirt/moisture, as Neil suggested, a partially failed/failing sensor or damp/dirty connector. I've had to chop off and replace a couple of my front sensor plugs due to moisture and corrosion. It's possible one of yours may at the early stages of that; not enough to cause an open circuit but enough to interfere with the signal. I'd take the bumper off and check/clean the connectors. Might be worth buying a spare sensor or two beforehand in case it turns out to be a failing sensor.

A job for after the meet!
I checked the measuring blocks, and they're all exactly the same, so still no clues.

well the sensors on mine are just ornamentation , ie , engage reverse , makes noises , nothing works except the light on the switch flashes
so that means there is a faulty sensor somewhere ? does one u/s fail the whole system ? no VCDS around here .... maybe when I move to southampton next year there will be some kind soul with one in easy reach !

Yes, that's it exactly. One faulty sensor and the whole system fails. Only a VCDS will tell you, unless you can be bothered to replace one sensor at a time until it's fixed.

Quote:
It's battery is dead so you have to run a long mains lead out to the car, but apart from that it works fine. IBM ThinkPad of some variety, built like the proverbial brick privy so almost indestructible, running Windows ME. Has various versions of VAG-COM on the disk. One of these was properly registered and most definitely worked, but I deactivated it to upgrade to VCDS-Lite on a Windows 7 laptop. Also has VCDS-Lite installed but not tested. If anyone is interested I'll plug it in and check that works OK, I expect it will. As you presumably know the unregistered version of VCDs is still pretty useful.  If you can't be bothered with a mains lead you can probably buy a power adapter that will generate the 16V DC it uses and plug into your car 12v power outlet. I have one for my W7 laptop (Dell 19.5v) and it's quite handy, not least because the laptop then runs in mains power mode so doesn't keep trying to dim the screen or shut things down (and yes, I know I could override that). Maybe I should stick this in the VCDS section?
