Installing parking sensors

brightkane

Can anyone reccomend someone to install a set of 4 rear sensors in a 07 passat relatively cheaply?

I would tackle it myself but would rather leave it to a professional to get spacing right. I have the sensors already


Cheers

Location?
Since you're not doing it DIY I am moving this out to the general forum.

Trim Tech in Airside, Swords if you want official place of business fitting.
Otherwise, most others handy with their hands can do this in an hour or 2.

When you say relatively cheaply, what price would push you to do it DIY?
Reason i ask, is the bumper needs to be removed, lined up and wired, i would expect 2 hours labour charge from most people and that could €60 minimum.

On the E90 BMW, the rear od the ES bumper has the PDC locations pre-marked so you get OEM location, wonder does the Passat have it?

I'd say it surely does have locations marked.

My naivety didnt think rear bumper needed to be removed!
I would pay 60 notes though as a nixer maybe

Bumper does not always have to come off but it can make it easier as there are usually marks on the inside where the sensors should go. When I fitted mine I left the bumper on and measured the locations for the sensors from the outside a million times before drilling.
