Default Help

Parktronic stopped working! Does anyone know which fuse this is? That was my first thought was to check the fuse, but the book doesnt list parktronic in the fuse list. Any other Ideas?

VAG COM will tell you. See if your local AutoZone can do a scan for you.

Default Could be caused by a dirty or faulty back-up sensor. VAG-COM will be your best bet, but mine...

...is acting up as well, and I have a rear, right sensor malfunction. If ope sensor is bad, the entire system malfunctions. A new sensor is about $80 and it is not extremely difficult to replace as DIY. Do you hear an alarm when you put the car in reverse - constant beep for about 20 second?

Default dirty rear sensor will cause system to give constant tone, malfunctioning sensor...

...will stop system from working (as would a fautly speaker or control module).

If a sensor has failed, or there is something wrong with the control module or speaker, the VAG COM scan will even tell you...it can even specify which sensor has failed.

Default Oh, I thought it just shut off. Well, since he said his stopped working, my assumption is...

...it is not a faulty sensor then, but something with the control module.

Default when mine malfunctioned, it was a pinched speaker wire...

..when I did not carefully install my rear shelf (for the sunshade installation). So basically, I had to remove and install the rear sunshade to repair the speaker.

You'd think Audi would make a little access hole/panel to get at those components...but you'd be wrong!!! Ugh!!!
