Peugeot 5008: Failure of the parking aid and general electrical problems

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2011 Peugeot 3008. It definitely sounds like the parking aid control unit is faulty. The last time I was at the garage, the guys completely replaced the control unit. It was a hefty job as the control unit is quite deep in the electronics. However, the good news is that they fixed the problem and since then everything is back to normal, so no more flashing warning lights. So replacing the control unit could also be the solution for you. But you know what you do, go to a good garage and let the professionals sort it out. Good luck with that, hope it helps!

Hey, thanks for the tip about the control unit. It's reassuring to hear that it worked for you! One more question: Can you remember what you paid for the replacement? And have you had any other problems since then? Hope you have a moment to tell me about it. Thank you!

Hello, I'm glad if I can help. So yes, I remember it. It cost me €355 to replace the faulty parking aid control unit. It wasn't exactly a bargain, but since I've had it repaired, everything has been working perfectly. The trouble with the parking aid not working is a thing of the past. So far, no further problems and I hope it stays that way. It was definitely worth it. So I would recommend you do the same. Go for it!

Hey, thanks for the info. 355 is a bit expensive, but if it fixes the problems and works reliably, it's probably worth the investment. I'll take your advice and take my car in for repairs. Thanks again for your help!
