Aftermarket Reverse aid sensors

wynnj · Apr 28th, 2024, 20:01

I need to replace one of the reversing sensors on my S60 D5 MY08. Has anyone any experience of replacing the OE sensor with an aftermarket one, and if so what make? Just as important, any makes to avoid?

I have a spare sensor from a pre facelift S60 but the middle part is different, being oblong with curved ends as against circular on my car. Does anyone know if this would also work, albeit if not correct aesthetically?

Thanks in advance

I fitted a sensor from the bay to my S40 a few years ago. Cost about £10.
I remember the advert stating " produced in a Valeo certified factory.
Worked fine but they do need primer and painting first.
