Thanks again for taking the time to send me that…. Unfortunately from looking at my gearbox on the ramp at work that doesn’t look like the box in my car either..!…. I’ve searched everywhere online to find out where it is but no luck…. I’m beginning to think there must be some other system that...

Oh….. can’t believe I have only just noticed but the diagram is for a Quattro gearbox….. mine is only front wheel drive..!…

I did put the car back on the ramp at work and had a real good dig round but after comparing the diagram you sent me ( thanks ) to the gearbox I don’t think it is the same gearbox…. Mine has a sensor on the left hand side just above where the slave cylinder is but it is not shown on the diagram….

No not yet I’m afraid…… I’m having a word with where I bought the car and see if I can get them to sort it as it looks a gearbox drop to do it…… for the meantime I have had to take the reverse light bulbs out……

By cramming my phone into the tiniest gap a got a picture of this which is in the location I think on the diagram….. the part Audi has sent me looks like a typical reverse switch…. 22mm nut with a black plug but this doesn’t look like many I’ve seen before

Update…. Think I have found the sensor thanks to the diagram from DK…..has anyone ever changed one of these as it looks to me like the gearbox has to be dropped to get at it….

From looking at it yesterday and looking at DK’s link looks like I’ll have to drop the exhaust off or see if I can drop the box down a bit to get at it…….

thanks for that picture…… mine is 6 speed manual…… looking at that picture the switch is on the side where the exhaust runs past so if it’s behind there that’s going to be a major pita….

Yeah I have ordered the switch from audi… was only £20…… I have had car on the ramp with all the bottom trays off but can’t find it…..there is one sensor or something on the left hand side of the gearbox which I unplugged but the reverse lights still came on so figured that’s not it….

Thanks for the reply….. yes the reverse lights come on in the daytime with no lights on…. When I select reverse sometimes the lights come on and the parking sensors work….. some times no lights and no parking sensors….. no other lights come on.. just the reverse lights .. I start the car and the...

Hi everyone…. I’m a bit stumped on something and I hope you guys can help…. I have recently bought a 2011 A4 Avant B8…. Lovely motor but was out in it the other night when 2 people at traffic lights told me my reverse lights are on….I’m guessing it might be the reverse switch on the box maybe……...

Hi everyone….. I’ve just bought my first Audi….. a nice looking 2011 A4 S line Avant Special Edition in I think it’s called Ibis white……I’ve been an Alfa owner for the past 12 years so thought I’d try something new……
