Default Parktronic Help - Vag Related

I am thinking one of my sensors it on thr fritz. It gives me a solid beep anytime I put in reverse and it makes other odd sounds. Is anyone familiar with how to research this using vag-com?

I have gotten as far as 76-ParkAssist then what should I do? Just pull fault codes?

I have not actually used the system just the online one.

Thanks

Default First, try to make sure the sensors are clean...

..the back of the car is like a magnet for dirt/grime, so just use a wet cloth to wipe the sensors, and make sure they are dry (yes, a water drop will trigger the proximity sensor).

If that fails, then look at address 76 and look at fault codes. If a sensor has failed, VAG COM will tell you exactly which one (driver side outer, driver side inner, passenger side inner, passenger side outer).

Good luck!
