So I recently ran into the problem where one of my front parking sensors is faulty so at first every week or two I would get the error "Parking sensor Fault" but the next time I drove the car the error would be gone, so I was assuming water or something got into the sensor and a few people online/youtube videos stated spraying wd40 in the sensor then cleaning it out would remove the moisture/displace the water, and it did actually work for a few weeks/month. Ultimately one sensor was definitely bad as when I plug it into any of the other slots the error jumps to that circuit. (thank you autel code reader)
Now heres my question (even though I think the answer is to buy a replacement oem one)
on the sportsmaserati forum and maybe even an older post here, references the SKODA SUPERB 3U43U0919275C PDC Parking Sensor Parking as the cheaper replacement sensor. As a test I decided to buy these ( theres two types one yellow colored one like the maserati oem one and one black one ) I bought 1 yellow one(for 10$) and 4 of the black ones(for 30$).
The funny thing is the manufacture part number etched on all the sensors is EXACTLY the same part number as the ferrari oem one (ferrari literally just put a sticker over the part number). But all 5 of the skoda ones dont work and get a OPEN CIRCUIT error...
Has anyone actually tried these ? Or is there some other programming that needs to be done? My guess is no since I can plug any of the oem ones into any other of the front connectors and the open circuit error on that side goes away immediately.
