Wanted - reversing sensors
21. Jun 2010 at 22:21

Wanted for facelift elite, 2 x factory fitted "park pilot" reversing sensors and the corresponding bit they fit into !! This is made up of 2 sections.... one bit clips into the hole and its surround in the bumper, the lugs appear to be extremely fragile .... Sad

the other bit clicks inwards step-by-step to enable the sensor to be accurately aligned.

If anyone is breaking one with park pilot and doesn't want to split the thing up .. I might still be interested in the whole caboodle... sensors/mounts/control box ... if the price is right ..

Can I put you on hold with them ??? I might end up buying them off you and trying to "fix" the mounting bits if no-one has any .. or asking AndyC if the mounting bits are available ..

Well if Entwood only wants two units off you (and due to the fact they are already sprayed Z157) then i'll take the other two as spares for the future!

Just chuck them on my pile of bits I have still got to collect from you! Roll Eyes

Thanks .. contacted them to ask how many they have ...

I got a set of fittings from AndyC ...

Two of the sensors fail to "tick / vibrate" so my guess is they have had it .. Sad

One question you might know .. if you disconnect a faulty sensor does the "error" beep stop ?? or does it continue as the circuit is now "open" ???

All sensors must complete a circuit to silence the tone. Swap a good ticking sensor into a bad sensor position. If the good sensor then does not work you know it's a wiring or connection issue, if the good sensor works leave it there and plug the non ticking sensor into the good sensor position if it still don't work it's fubar.

Any thoughts on how these behave when towing/reversing? Undecided

Edit to add, issue with mine was purely a poor conections in the plug to sensor. Swapped it with the one "next door" and all is well. Thumbs Up!

Thanks for that .. swapping the sensors is a bitch of a job due to the Irmscher rear bumper .. makes it very difficult to get your hands on the sensors... I'm actually planning to take the bumper of to change the two duff ones when I get replacements !! (looks like I have 1 new one on its way) .. probably have to pay AndyC full wack for another .. Sad

)

As to towing/reversing, there is "supposed" to be a way of "telling" the system you are towing via a feed through the towing electrics, bit like the system that turns off the high intensity fog lights, but I haven't sussed it yet ... so I just ~~get~~ got the noise when reversing with the van on ... at present the speaker is unplugged as all I get is the error tone in reverse !!!

If it helps, I didn't undo the bottom of my irmscher, just the wheel arch screws and the 4 behind the oval caps where the boot shuts, tape up the wing sides to prevent scratches and gently lean the bumper back enough to get your hands in from the top. May need to support bumper from the bottom with a bear crate or something of suitable hight. The sensor wires aren't long enough to do much else ime. Angry

Thanks for that .. hadn't considered that idea ... 'twas gona undo the lot and lie the bumper backwards/horizontal on supports while I messed with the sensors .. your way might be easier ..

'Twas the wrong sort ... even though the guy insisted it was the correct one .. so I still need 2 but have a brand new Bosch sensor 90513512 .. apparantly I need the "special vehicle" parts .. which I have now ordered from AndyC .. at £30 odd + VAT each .. Sad

So if anyone is after the "other" sort -- round and blue as against black and squareish ... let me know Sad
