Yes will definately post up the results. Cars in next Friday (June 1st).
Yes we have a MY18 as well. The popping noises only started last week after the sensors wiring harness was reconnected.
The AEB does go on when you select it, but the white dot disappears 1 second after. Showed this too the mechanic and he said that's not right and car needs too come in. He also witnessed the popping sounds when the car was put into reverse.
The forward detection and AEB I put down too the sensors not working, as I know that the AEB works off the 2 cameras at the sides of the rear view mirror, but wasn't sure if the sensors had anything too do with it and the forward detection?
(I do believe there is a radar system at the front of the car so am not sure if this will affect it. I think it's got something too do with lane assist from memory)?
Hopefully sorted on Friday. I just hope these visits are not going too be a regular occurrence

Well the car was fault free minus the parking sensor issues, from day one. (Forgot too reconnect the wiring loom after the bumper was taken off for fitting the tow bar).
Its a peach of an engine, and the rest of the car I can't fault apart from the few niggles, but the popping noises are annoying.
I just assumed forward detection had something too do with the sensors as everything is connected together. If you pull the plug out of one thing it will shut down several other things as alot of stuff is daisychained together.
Obviously on hand over there is only so much you can check. Main thing we checked was body work for dents or scratches etc. It would take ages too check all the settings individually. I did check the cameras were working fine which they were. Stuff like sensors ect I never thought about checking as you would assume they work fine, as come as standard with the car. Also checked all the extras we ordered like the cooler box, TV, dual view and checked external accessories were all there. Initially messed up order as gave me a fixed sunroof not an electric one and a deployable towbar as opposed too a fixed one, and a black interior when we specified a cream one. Luckily i noticed 1 day before order lockdown and it was rectified, even though I emailed the dealer and spoke for an hour on the phone ensuring all was ordered correctly a few days before. (Issue with the builder as was defaulting too black interior when ordering a cream one, with the Dynamic Pack).
Yes, well you can't exactly test the AEB in the showroom, plus alot of the functions had been switched of when car was handed over. I would have thought that the PDI would have picked up on the AEB issue. First thing the person who I was talking too said is your windscreen dirty? I said I can't even get it too switch on.
Incidentally the AEB works fine on my car.
Mind you the FE we had last year the only thing that worked properly were the sensors. Issues with having no cameras or only black and white images.
Heres hoping the forward traffic detection is linked too the AEB. Mind you both the forward traffic and rear traffic detection are both switched on in in the settings and the white dot stays on unlike the AEB. Like I said last night the forward traffic detection may be a false positive as it beeps and the icon comes up on the infotainment system. It's like the TV sometimes comes up with a not available message even though it's running in the background.It's a mystery
Just away too wash car again. Will be alot easier when the car finally gets its detail and glaze in 2 weeks time. Already had too cancel it due too getting the sensors sorted as no courtesy car was available 3 weeks ago. Can't wait as will make life alot easier

Car was taken too the garage this morning too sort the issue with the AEB and the popping / crackling sounds from the reverse parking sensors, and the No Front Detection Available warning sorted, even though this seems too be working as giving an audio and visual display on the infotainment system ??
Hopefully get it back tonight as was told possibly software issues.
(Got an evoque 18 plate with only 120 miles on the clock. Nice too have a fresh smelling courtesy car for a change, which is not full of mud, dog hairs and the smell of wet dog. Yuck !!)
Ride is a bit harsh, but i suppose you pay for quality, and its alot more car like too drive than the D5 is. -

So, mine was/still is in since Wednesday for the same issues as above, got a phone call this afternoon; they tried everything to no avail, now they have escalated it with the importer who decided to chance cameras and radars, at least that’s what I was told.
Road Runner, if yours would be fixed, please explain how/what they did, so I can inform my dealer...
Good luck!
I will do Labbix, as long as your line my palms with silver
I think pickup is tomorrow so will see what the mechanics had too say about it

I didn’t know the phrase, so googled it: ‘This phrase alludes to the old practice of placing silver coins across a gypsy fortuneteller's hand before having one's fortune told.‘
As long as fortune tellers are involved all of our cars will be good

I thought I would start a kitty for all the problems the owners are suffering
Joking aside, on a more serious note, the car was picked up yesterday morning. Mrs took it too the shops and no problems with the sensors. No cracking or popping sounds
No TV available message also sorted with the update.
2 x updates were applied, namely the phase/stage 3 module and the IMC module.
With regards too the AEB they cannot figure out how too get it working again, so cars got too be rebooked in and may be in for a few days.
Garage is getting in touch with LR Direct too set up a technical case. They thought was also related too the software update, which it clearly was not and cannot figure out how too sort it.
Still getting a No forward detection message which I think is also connected too the AEB
I hope this helps Labbix -

No probs Labbix, glad I have been of some help.
Well I assume it's not a common issue, hence getting LR Direct involved. I just hope they remembered too plug in the wiring harness, as like the sensors the icon illuminated for a second and then went off, just like when selecting the AEB
Surely this was checked when carrying out the PDI ?
Am starting too wonder if they are just ticking all the boxes in a rush, before their tea breaks?
Yes keep us updated with your progress and fingers crossed it gets sorted. -
