Hello, has anyone got a template or exact measurements for where rear parking sensors should go please. I.e the 2 underneath reflector / fog light and 2 in black centre part of bumper.  I can find a few videos but none seem to have exact measurements that align with where I believe they go.  I see that someone said you can take bumper of and their are markings inside but i am trying to avoid that if possible.

 

Thank you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Following! Restoring our 2009 TDCI back on the road after a few years, and all the other cars have rear parking sensors, so we've kinda got used to it...

Hello, in the end took bumper off. Theirs croses on back of bumper showing where to put sensors, so used them. Having issues at the moment as sensors pick up kerbs but expect that may be sensor issues etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ah good to know. Is the angle of the sensors a factor for picking up kerbs?

So does mine, which are an original fitment.

It picks kerbs up to begin (with a slow bleep). Never gets to a fast, alarming bleep. Then disappears as the bumper moves over the kerb. So I think that's normal behaviour, not a fault.

This may now explain why I get beeped when I reverse off the drive 😊

Thanks All, I note the ones I bought being flush mounted love to pop out, they are only held in by a rubber washer it seems. The mounting behind them that is held on with sticky pad does very little, if they continue to pop out I will glue the mounts on but want to make sure happy with everything first. Took ages trying to find a template but in the end it takes 10 min just to take the bumper of. Once you have got those stupid rivets out that hold the wheel arch liners to the bumper that is ;). £21 from ebay for the flush mounted parking sensor kit though, cannot complain.
