How do you remove the rear bumper to install the original PDC sensors in an Audi A6 C6?

Model: Audi A6 MK 3, C6 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Rear bumper

To remove the rear bumper of an Audi A6 C6, first lift the car using a jack for safety and place a support. Start by unscrewing the screws on the sides of the bumper, which are located in the wheel well. Then, look for the hidden screws under the bumper, in the central area, and remove them. Some models may also have screws under the bumper, near the undercarriage, so check carefully. Once all the screws have been removed, use a screwdriver to gently detach the bumper from the mounting hooks. Be careful of parking sensors or lights, which may still be connected. Disconnect the wires and, finally, remove the bumper with caution. This maneuver can then be used to perform many other tasks, such as installing original PDC sensors. If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, contact a trusted workshop.
