The issue is no doubt minor but the repercussion would be major if the lid didn't open yesterday as I was very low on fuel. I would hate to have my car towed over such a minor problem. | ||

| ![]() Hi everyone Parking sensor is not working in my Jetta - nothing appears in the screen while reversing and the sensor button near the gearshift blinks - any idea what happened? I had not taken the car for more than 15 days since I was away. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I remember having the same issue during monsoons only! And everytime i got the fuel lid opened by inserting something thin between the fuel cap and then pulling it out, I had showed it to my SA and he recommended to use it like that for a while and it should be fine post monsoon, Apparently moisture or water affects the lid and hence even if its unlocked it doesn't open on its own. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Is there any rats near the car? or have you had rats problem? This seems to be a wiring problem if the button blinks and nothing comes up, Just get a scan done of the car and that should give you a clear picture. |

Anyway, I will leave it to the service centre to figure out. They will either lubricate it or change the part. | |

| ![]() This means one of the sensors has gone bad or the wiring is either not connected or damaged. I had the same issue on my Passat and the screen and all sensors started working after one faulty sensor was replaced. |

sugesh of vagtunes was telling me that cinnamon leaves (karuvapatta in malayalam) placed under and around the car will keep the rats away. I am going to try this - even if nothing happens the car is at least bound to smell good ![]() | |

Planning next week some time. Check if you can lock(secure) your fuel lid, when the door are locked through central locking? Last edited by manjubp : 4th August 2018 at 07:01. | |
