Urgent Advice Needed! Leon Cupra front radar sensor problem?

[Don M]

OP do not pay out to have the radar recalibrated this is not the issue. Calibration is loaded at the radars manufacture.

The issue is probably the radar is out of alignment/loose

You will need VCDS. There should be faults stored under the radar. Too many faults and the radar wont run...
Reset faults and then see what comes back.

Using the measuring blocks you should be able to see the angle that radar is at and the deviation value, if its not set up corectly.

Google front radar retrofit and some topics cover corect placement

Dealers are pretty clueless and dont have the kit to calibrate either the front assist or adaptive cruise control.

thanks boggle, really helpful and will keep this in mind.

Yes - you are right! I did take it to SEAT Customer Service, they told me to get second opinion and when i called back with the independent result (clearly no accident damage) they told me they only believed the dealership results! when i asked how i escalate this abysmal customer experience - she told me to contact the vehicle ombudsman - did that tonight. So annoyed.

Jesus what an attitude she must of had on here.

Asked to get an independent check then said they wont accept it. What a joke
