C5 Replacement Parking Sensors

Post by hamster99 »

Can anyone recommend a supplier? I need a couple of replacements and don't want to have to pay dealer prices for what I think are fairly commonplace bits.
Thanks

My 2005 Exclusive used Sensor Part No. 6590 A5. So these should be the same as yours. I must admit I bought all mine from Citroen when I had a spate of these go - at about £50+ a pop! I certainly would of bought these below with hindsight. They come with a lifetime guarantee - so for £15.99 each can't go wrong!: There are many others on the bay - so plenty to choose from.

One thing to note - I did a post a while back concerning the number of sensor failures I had - it was down to water dripping down onto the sensor wiring, then running down to the sensor and getting into the sensor and causing failure. In the end, they taped behind the sensor plug and re-routed each of the slack in the wire into a 'U' shape, so that any water would drip off the bottom and couldn't travel back up. Sorted the problem and with 8 of these on the MK II, a cost effective solution! :-D

Thanks Marc, they look just the job.
A number of mine have failed recently and I've run out of the ones I kept off my previous C5.
