Problems with electrical functions and warning light in Seat Arona petrol engine 2019 - suspected defective radar sensor

Hey guys, I have a strange problem with my Seat Arona gasoline engine, year of manufacture 2019. It shows some symptoms like parking distance control does not work, general electrical failure, error stored. There is also a warning light in the speedometer. I suspect it could be the radar sensor, but I'm not sure. Have any of you ever had similar experiences and can give me a tip on how you solved the problem in the workshop? I am grateful for any help!

Hey, I've had a similar problem with my 2017 Seat Ibiza. I don't have much experience in cars, but maybe I can still help. They did several tests at my garage, but it was the adverse weather conditions. A lot of snow and ice messed up the whole system. The good news is that I didn't have to pay a penny for the repair, as it was just the weather conditions that temporarily paralyzed the system. To help you better, could you add a few details about your car? Such as what type of sensor you have installed, and if you have made any recent modifications or repairs. Perhaps there are other similar devices that could be causing the problem.

Hey, thanks for your answer! My Arona actually has the standard equipment without any special additions. There have been no other changes or repairs recently. Another thing I can think of is that I last had it serviced when it had 21432 km on the clock. Maybe the garage messed something up... Snow and ice might not actually be a problem here, the weather is rather mild at the moment. Well, I'll probably just take it back to the garage and hope they find the fault then. Many thanks for your tip!

Hello, no problem! It's interesting that you only recently took it to the garage before these problems arose. Maybe they actually didn't do something right there, or maybe left something loose. It's hard to tell without seeing it, but it's definitely a possibility. It's also good that your weather is mild - it means we can rule that out as a possible cause. Definitely the next step is to take your car in for an inspection. There is a possibility that there is a fault code in the fault memory that they can read out. That way you can find out whether it's a system error or the sensor. Give us an update afterwards. We hope it's nothing serious. Good luck!

Hey, thanks for the recommendations! You could be right that something went wrong with the last service. Well, I'll take your advice and bring the car in for an inspection. I'm also looking forward to the fault memory and hopefully the problem will be found then. As soon as I have news, I'll give you an update here. Thanks again for the help, guys!
