Listen, you need to start up the engine and turn on the PDC button inside the saloon, and then go near each sensor and put your finger delicatly near the sensor, you should get a little sting on you finger, you will feel it stlitly, little waves on your finger, and WHENEVER YOU DONT FEEL THE STING ON YOUR FINGER, THATS THE SENSOR THATS MESSING UP THE REST OF THE SYSTEM AND CAUSING OTHERS NOT TO WORK.
Go near each sensor and try it.
Usually there are tiny thin wires inside the sensors, 2 of them and some of them either get disconnected or even ripped, and it's an easy fix, you need to either reconnect the wire, or fix the ripped once.
I have the same thing on my further left front sensor, in my case its the sensor itself and i have ordered a newone for 150$
I hope it helps

Tell me how it goes, well if you look at it that way, yeah it's a lot for a single sensor, or plastic, but it does a lot for me, saved my ass many times

It's kind of hard to tell how the sting feels.
I had the same problem.
i sayd whenever it does not sting thats the sensor that does not work, in other words good sensors should sting or you will feel something on your finger.
Dealer explained and di it for me when my sensor went

Okej ! I did understand but there is no sting at all... maybe it´s too cold ? ( about -10C° )
