RCZ Asphalt Parking Sensor

Hi tianorth & DKZ5745, I had some time today so had a go at getting access to the parking sensors, There are five allen screws and four push fit fixings, well I think that's about right. I was able to remove the housing shown as Item No3 in the diagram which fits to the bumper that incorporates the fog/reversing light and the twin exhaust pipes, although the housing would not come completely off due to something holding it at the left hand side viewed from the back I think it was something to do with the twin exhaust pipes. However, when it was lowered it still gave me full access to all the parking sensors and wiring. If I could have compeletly removed the housing it would have been far easy to refit the bracket and sensor to the bumper, but as I have sold the car all I wanted was to get it held in place and working which I have now done. I am sure if the Peugeot garage had a body shop they would have been able to get the bracket and sensor refitted, and not say it's a complete bumper replacement at a cost of £600+, I did check with a private body shop and when I showed him my sensor bracket I was told the brackets are all very similar and can be removed from old bumpers and glued to back to another bumper. Well I have achieved what I set out to do and now have all the sensors working again, it would be nice to have a look at the electrical service manual as I am sure you should be able to short out two pins to make the circuit think there is a working sensor fitted should one go down. Thanks to all how replied and the information they gave. :beer: HB

Glad you got it sorted without too much pain, especially in the wallet.

Sorry to see you go from the Z brotherhood though, you know you will regret it later :lol:

Hi I am sure you may be correct and I will regret it, however, my Asphalt is 4 years old, ok I don't do that many miles in a year so that should not be a problem. I know I will miss the look and the prestige. When the RCZ was in for them to try to fit the parking sensor, I went for a test drive in a 208 Gti Prestige, I have to say it drives very, very well. So this is what I have on order, the colour is Orange Power. The good things with the new car; lower road tax, lower running costs, no service charges or MOT's for the next few years and I think I got a good trade in price. Also due to my age this may well be the last car I buy and one I can still drive like hell! :thumbup: HB

Good choice for a replacement, until you get an R that is.

Happy motoring in your new ride :thumbup:
