Very helpful, just done mine as well!

Thanks for this. Very helpful. I’ve just done mine, no issues.

Can be old round type radar exchanged with this new flat type of radar? On my 2013 TDI radar sensor died and price of new part is extremely high, about one third of price of whole car. I'm thinking to exchange it for flat type, but I don't know if it's compatible with car's systems. (I know that fittings and consoles are different, but they can be changed.)

Hey man can you help me finding where the cable for the original acc starts? I had a crash and all the cable has been broken and now I cannot locate where the cables are cut

I've just hit a phaesant as well 😡, got the same problem.

I need the whole thing. Camera etc how much???

How much is it to buy

Collision repair group came to my house today and recalibrated my radar on my Golf. They cover all the UK just need flat ground for their lazer equipment to line the car up on. I took out a pheasant and it knocked my radar out of its holding bracket the local garage said I needed new radar reprogramming and calibrating and quoted £1100 which didn't feel right to me. I see a comment on here about collision repair group and gave them a call they had one of their technicians on my doorstep the next day and sorted my Golf out for just £200 a saving of £900 that my local rip off garage was trying to charge me.

Hi. Thank you for that video. I had the same issue. I bought a car and the previous owner hit somebody. The ACC does not work for me either. If I buy a new repair kit from Volkswagen is it easy to fit?

It's a radar, not a camera. Still helpful info though

Any video on how to fit this?

I'm in a similar position to you (Golf GTI Mk7 in navy with the same Austin wheels). The wheels have been diamond cut before and the universal advice now is to powder coat due to a lack of suitable surface 'meat' on this style and the more practical nature of the powder coat. Option one is a two tone powder coat to look like the original wheels but the process used struggles to get a sharp line where the back meets the silver. Option two which I'm leaning to is a gloss black which looks in-keeping with the car's colour scheme.

Is their a knack to just unplug it at the bottom cant get plug off ?

Nice work But the color could have been better

Hello! I had a smaller collision with a pole today and first nothing happend (no fault codes) when i drove out on the highway I got the fault code and a yellow sign on the dashbord that it is not functioning (ACC) What now? Thanks.

Happened to my Golf, a company called Collision Repair Group did the full job. They even came out to my house and did it!

I had the same thing but i never hit anything it just decided to throw codes up for nothing stop start aswel but now stop starts fine but no acc or cruize at all all tho mine is the dome shaped audi 1

Good video - did you have to remove the bumper to fit??

Great job btw. Why should we have to put this rite? when it’s a product defect from Vw ?

Nice one the repair kit worked. Lots of TH-camrs circumvent the ACC when in need of calibration which in turn invalidates vehicle insurance. £430 WOW. What are they charging per hour? £430 per hour to re-calibrate. It’s attaching lasers and attachment to rear tyres. Setting up the front lasers and jig. Getting all lined up and running software and adjusting alignment screws if necessary. I’ve heard other VW dealers charging £1500 to re-calibrate.

How do I center it on the grill?

How do you actually remount it... You missed the most important bit!

Thank you! i have about a liter of water in my spare tire well - not paying VW to fix it.

Hi bud, would really appreciate if you could reply to my post, having similar issues and just wondered how you remoeved the lugs? Iv had a little look down there and cant see how you remove them, many thanks in advance

WHY IS THIS VIDEO STILL ON HERE TH-cam YES U TH-cam ITS LIES

I’ve had my car since Tuesday same alloys as yours the tyreshop ruined my alloy with tyre machine I hope it’s repairable

To Turn off the system on all VW/Audi /Skoda completely if you are finding this interfering with normal driving and finding this very unnerving when it cuts in when not wanted. Take the cover off the Radar sensor in the front grill then unplug. Then tape over the cable plug to stop water getting in with good quality insulating tape or a waterproof tape. This as far as i am aware this will put the vehicle back to standard braking. But test the vehicles braking before going on a journey to make sure the vehicle can do a emergency stop by doing this yourself. (Did this with 19 Plate VW Transporter) As Manufacture would not risk the front grill/radar sensor if damaged, the brakes must continue to work as standard. The Front Assist will then disappear from the on dash/screen menu

Thanks for the video mate, you mentioned about the stop start error... I’ve just purchased a 2013 gti. It’s now came up with error stop start, acc and front assist not available, error auto hold and fault electric parking brake.. do you know if these faults are related to the acc radar? I think it’s potentially been in a small bump on the front and it’s fucked the radar. Battery had been replaced so that is ruled out lol cheers bud

ive been a mechanic for the last 25years and let me help u all out the pipe has holes in EVEN if the pipe was blocked IT WILL NEVER NEED REPLACING JUST follow my advise....... and then tell me this visit comment and let me know what u think from a professionals point ov view ALL U NEED IS A NEW SEAL FOR THE SHELL OF THE BOOT

I have the same problem. Error saying fron acc assist not available/ no sensor view. However stop/start works intermittently. When i had a look i am able to move the whole camera up and down. Any ideas what this could be. Same Repair kit job or something else? Thanks

How do you get it on and off having trouble

my wife's stop working after changing the grill a week after changing the grill vw here wants $850 to recalibrate it.

I hit a pigeon last week. Did you have a warning come up saying ACC unit and front sensors not working?

I have the same problem. ! I bought one and now i have this massage. "Front asisst not avaible" what can i do now. I tried to reset the fault codes in VCDS but the codes still remains! What can i do? I have read something obout the baterry. Can this bee the problem?

Hey i have been thinking about removing my sensor so i can put a front mount intercooler on. Did this cause and strange dash lights or beeps if i were to disable it beforehand?

Colour choice was great but maybe should’ve gone for a two tone colour with black on the inserts

Since you straight swapped the sensor for a new one, was that all that was required? no coding?

Thanks I’ll try that next time. vw said. The drain pipe, light seals and vents are all common faults 🙄.

Mar 6, 2020. I just came across your video while replacing my rear drain tube. Glad to see someone else had the same difficulties removing the lift-back interior panel that I am. I was beginning to feel like a complete moron!😂🤣 There are 2 clips closer to the center of the panel that came out during the removal process. Now, I can't keep them in place during the install. These two clips are different than the parameter clips. I noticed in your video these clips were still in place. At this point I'm considering using super-glue to keep them in position. I also snapped off two plastic positioners on the vertical side stems. I suspect the shop guys would have had the same problems. Now, I'm concerned the pieces won't fit snugly causing rattles in a rather rattle-free car. Thanks for sharing your video!!

any idea on the part number?

Hi my friend. Did this solve the problem? My back seats are soaked and where my spare wheel is absolutely drenched wonder if that’s what’s happened to me! Hope anyone can help

I've just taken the boot lid off and was scratching my head at what to do next. This video has just saved my life. Going to order the part and try again! Thanks

During your installation did you put a screw through every hole? As in the three? I can only see two in mine.

I got a 2013 mrk7 and have find half an inch of water under the spare wheel, what symptoms prompted you to find this issue? Was it water in the bottom of the boot?

Early models of the mk vii didn't have this pipe as I found out yesterday.

You could not make this up... A pheasant ran into my car this morning and did exactly the same thing!! Hence why I'm watching your video now - how poignant.

Doing this today, following your video. Let’s see how it goes!

Life saver pal,👍👍 got same problem on my mk7 ,ordered the part for a 5'r ,,

I have the exact same issue atm, ive bought the repair kit but cant work out how to put the screws back in! Any chance u filed yourself putting it back together? Thankss
