Dont seem to exist??

Seeing how there are over 20 different part numbers for that parking sensor, i would venture we're better off taking the correct one off the one on the car.

Why is it so hard to find a part number for our car? Is this the same with other manufacturers as well?

i'm having one of my parking sensors replaced in 2 days at the kia garage, i will ask them to either leave the old parking sensor with me or give me a part number for it

I've had the service done, i've paid an horrific 354£ fee for 1 single sensor, labour and VAT. Never again will i go to them for anything that's not engine related.

For anyone curious, the parking sensor part number is 96890A50001k

Assuming the part was no more than 100 GBP, was the rest of the fee the labor cost? Did you get an invoice with cost breakdown?

Yes, i did get a cost breakdown: 71£ for diagnosing the parking sensor "in order to ensure the harness is not faulty" and 57£ for replacing it,
the parking sensor was nearly 160£ and the rest was VAT.

The 160 GBP though for the part, omg... If it was required to replace all 10 sensors, front and back, the parts alone would be 1600 GBP? Makes no sense. That is why these cars are called totaled by the insurance companies, even after a relatively minor accident.

Sorry, i edited the comment without seeing your reply 😁
