I-CAR · December 16, 2022 · Volkswagen
Summary
This document outlines Volkswagen's strict guidelines for refinishing park assist sensors, specifying maximum paint thickness, curing temperatures, and sanding limits. It also mandates a functional diagnostic test using a vehicle diagnostic tester after any sensor refinishing.
What to do on the job
Measure and ensure the total paint coat thickness on the sensor does not exceed 125 micrometers (um), and perform a functional diagnostic test using a vehicle diagnostic tester post-repair.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the labor and material costs for measuring paint thickness with a mil gauge, masking the connector pins, and performing the mandatory post-repair diagnostic scan/functional test on Volkswagen vehicles with refinished park assist sensors.
