So I need to replace the rear pdc as its faulty. I have a replacement.
I have read somewhere once it;s possible to change it WITHOUT taking the bumper off i.e. squeeze hand in there.

Can someone please confirm tif this is possible or Ill need to take the whole bumper off?

Many thanks.

Having changed a bumper myself, I can't see how you would be able to swap the PDC sensors without removing the bumper? Also depends on which one you need to swap, creep under the car and see if you can even get your hand to the one in question.

bumper MUST be removed to gain access. there's a few clips and screws behind the wheel well and 2 screws on each side of the inside of the trunk. If u r changing one side, remove only that side so the whole bumper doesnt have to come off
