Title: Rear Sensors
Post by PJDavis on Feb 16^th, 2012, 1:57pm

Anyone have a picture of where the standard reversing sensors are fitted. It would be great to place my colour-coded sensors as close to the standard fitted items.

There is a shot on This page (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/facelift.htm) which shows one of them. As standard there were only two, as you will see, just either side of the Index Plate. Personally I would fit four as you need to cover the corners. :)

Thanks for the info. I'm surprised there was only two sensors on such a wide car. I got a nice set of colour-coded sensors that fit flush on the bumpers, there are four of them and I'll fit them all. Bought a load of sets of these sensors for Engineering students to do electrical 'projects' with. There will be a few staff cars getting reversing sensors!! I'll put pics up once there done. :D

On my wife's Mondeo there is a plastic insert trim in the rear bumper. If you unclip that you will find holes in the foam behind where the sensors are designed to be fitted. There is even a grommet leading into the boot on the rear n/side to pick up the power and earth!. Hers look 'factory fitted' and cost me less than £20. :)

I am also about to fit a set of 4 sensors to a facelift, so any help/pics would be great.

Kev. Have a look at This page (http://www.parkingsensors.co.uk/customer_installation_audi_a2.asp) which is a good illustration of placement etc. ;)
