To replace the parking sensors on a Volkswagen Golf, you need to completely remove the rear bumper of the car: to do this, unscrew the screws located inside the wheel arches and at the bottom of the bumper, completely removing it. Once the bumper is detached, you can access the connectors inside, which must be disconnected to fully remove the parking sensors.

This way, you can connect and install the new replacement parts, also refitting the bumper.
