Hi

I have just purchased a rear parking sensor kit from the local Peugeot
dealer. The kit is fine, but the instructions are similar to an IKEA fixit
kit. All diagrams and no words - not very easy to follow!

It would appear that the rear bumper needs to be removed according to the
instructions, but it is possible to fit the wiring without taking off the
bumper, which would appear to be a two-handed job. Also there are two photos
which would appear to mean absolutely nothing to the general fitting.

Any advice would be appreciated

hi,
you can fit the sensors one by one without removing the bumper. some
peugeots or citroens have already had predrilled hole on the bumper and if
not you may have to spend some time to get the holes drill precisely. One
very important thing is not to alter the length of the sensor cable
otherwise you will stuff up the distanse measurement. hope this info helps.

I don't think that last part is true - the sensors are ultrasonic, and
the distance measurements are made by measuring the time between sending
out a pulse and getting an echo from an obstacle. The speed of sound is
*much* slower than the speed of the signal down the cable, so the length
of the cable won't have any measurable effect on the distance measurement.
