Faulty parking aid and electrical faults in 2007 petrol Golf

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

|

General electric malfunction

|

Park distance control without function

Fault stored

Hello everyone! I have a real problem with my 2007 gasoline Golf. It has now covered 185694 km and is showing the following symptoms: parking aid not working, general electrical fault, fault is stored, warning light in the speedometer. I recently had a pretty bad experience at my last mechanic visit and I strongly suspect that the whole thing is related to a fault with the parking aid. Have you had similar experiences? How did your mechanic solve it? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey, I had similar symptoms with my 2010 Golf Diesel. In my case it was a general electrical fault, and my parking aid also completely gave up the ghost. It turned out to be a serious problem, something with the main control unit. My mechanic had to replace it and reset all the fault codes to make all the symptoms go away. So don't relax too much, it's a serious matter. Hope this helps you!

Hey, oh man, that sounds really bad! I don't even want to know how much it costs to replace the main control unit. Do you happen to remember the price? And have you had any other problems since then? It's always good to know what you're getting yourself into. Thanks for your help!

Hey, I can understand that, you're really scared of an unexpected repair like that! Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with my main control unit. First of all, take it easy, I remember that it cost me €265 to fix the parking aid. That wasn't exactly free, but since the mechanic came, the parking aid has been working like a charm again! So far, I haven't had any further problems. Keep your fingers crossed that you have a similar experience!

Hey, phew, that really takes a load off my mind! At €265, I can definitely still blow. Good to hear that you didn't have any other problems. I'll make an appointment with the mechanic and hope that it's not that bad! Thanks again for your support, it really helped me!

Hello, what could be the problem or what should I replace?

Based on the symptoms described, it could be an issue with the parking aid sensor or the wiring. Start by checking the parking aid sensors for any physical damage or dirt. If they look fine, you might want to check the wiring for any signs of damage or corrosion. If you're not comfortable doing these checks yourself, I would recommend taking your car to a professional mechanic.

Check if the sensors are clean and free from dirt or debris, as this can affect their functionality. If cleaning doesn't help, inspect the wiring and connections for any signs of damage or corrosion. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
