Front parking sensor comes on randomly
Posted: Tue Aug 25, 2020 1:27 am
It's happened 3 times - in about 3.5 weeks of driving.
The front right parking sensor bleeped and showed red on the display.
Nothing within 1 metre. Appeared momentarily only on each occasion.
Also... I had some sort of message saying 'front radar blocked' when coming to the end of a tunnel.
Message went away after about a minute of coming out of the tunnel.
(Not sure if tunnel had anything to do with it.)
(Maybe something could have flown onto the car and stuck to it momentarily - but didn't notice!)
Should I be concerned about?
How would I diagnose if there's a problem needing looking at?
I still have just over 2 month warranty cover for the vehicle... so anything niggly like this I would like to get sorted out ASAP.
I'll be giving the car a good wash tomorrow... maybe caused by dirt??
If so, hopefully that will get rid off + will inspect all sensors.
Thanks.
EDIT Just seen a video on youtube. The guy said you just clean with WD40 and problems solved. He had problems showing parking sensors showing faults. I guess this is the solution?
