Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that suspect a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suspected cause · Original poster
I think/hope that the problem is due to the garage disturbing or not re connecting the electronics for the two funtions!

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, A few weeks ago my tiptronic selector became harder to move so it went into the garage that I had purchased the car from originally. They cured the problem and only charged for a couple of hours labour. A week later my son noticed that the reversing lights did not work (when you select reverse the lights flicker on and then go out) and the parking sensors had also stopped working. I have called the garage today to let them know about the problem - they have said that they will get back to me asap. I think/hope that the problem is due to the garage disturbing or not re connecting the electronics for the two funtions! Has this happened to any one out there and is it a quick fix? Thanks for any advise in advance. Cheers Steve

It sounds like it is all related to the Tiptronic selector. The reversing light switch is part of the multi-function switch on the bottom of the selector. The reversing light switch not only controls the lights, but also the Parking Assistant.
