Default I think my parking assist is broke - I have one long beep everytime I start the car...

not just when in reverse and it doesn't give me any warning no matter how close I come to something. Anybody else have this happen?

On an A6, one of the sensors got pushed into the bumper and its reading the hole that its in.

Default Just got this fixed...

Only took them three trips to the shop. One of the sensors is bad. You get a long tone that's different than the reverse gear confirmation tone, and no sensor functionality.

Be prepared - the sensors do not come color-matched, so they will have to send it out to be painted.

Default the first two times the problem was intermittent...

Miraculously it would instantly start working the moment I drove onto the dealer lot and they could not replicate the problem. The third time it happened I let the problem stand for two weeks to make sure it wasn't going to rectify itself - that time they caught it.

Default Mine did that. Pulled off the rear bumper cover and found a disconnected sensor.

The sensor plug lock was actually broken. I zip-tied it back together and buttoned things up. Took a few hours one evening, still less work than the hassle of taking it to the stealer.
