My front and rear parking sensors on my Q7 2006 model are not working?
When I engage reverse I get a tone for about 3 seconds but they do not beep whatsoever when I get close to ANYTHING....
I have tried engaging reverse when ignition is on and listening to each sensor but nothing? Not a thing
PLEASE HELP

Moved to Q7.

You need a fault scan, maybe a dead module etc but a scan with VCDS will help alot.

If you do not have VCDS a quick check can be done by disconnecting one sensor at a time as its more likely a sensor has failed.

If you were getting a constant beep (like a false warning) and not the three beeps error tone you can often sort this by gently using a wooden toothpick or similar to clean the sensor as muck often sticks in here giving a false reading.

First off all, check the fuse. If that's ok then you need a scan. For all sensors to fail it won't be one dragging them all down as they run independently from each other.

Thank you

without sounding silly can you tell me where the fuses are and how I'd know which one it is?

i do get a 3 second tone when reverse is activated

On both ends of the dash in below the pop off panels. On the panel you pop off there will be a diagram.

May be in the rear fuse box also.

Its behind the cover on the right hand side in the boot, if you look carefully there is a small gap for where to insert a screwdriver to pop the cover off.
