ACC Radar / Distance Sensor New VAG OEM (5Q0907561B)
ACC Radar / Distance Radar VAG - OEM 5Q0907561B
Genuine VAG ACC radar sensor (distance radar) for vehicles on the MQB platform with adaptive cruise control and driver assistance systems.
The radar sensor is fitted in the front of the vehicle and continuously measures the distance and speed relative to the traffic ahead. On that basis it supports among others adaptive cruise control (ACC), the distance warning and the emergency brake assist (Front Assist).
If the radar is faulty, damaged or out of alignment, these systems fail or are deactivated by the vehicle. Replacement is often necessary after a collision or front-end damage.
This is a new, genuine OEM VAG part.

Possible complaints
A faulty, misaligned or uncalibrated ACC radar can cause among others the following complaints:
- Adaptive cruise control unavailable or dropping out while driving
- "Front Assist: fault" or "Driver assistance systems: fault" message in the display
- Distance warning and emergency brake assist out of operation
- Systems that only fail after a few kilometres of driving
A complaint does not automatically mean the radar is faulty. First check the mounting position and the front bumper for damage or contamination, then the connector and wiring, and carry out a calibration. If calibration keeps failing or there is an internal fault in the distance control unit (J428), the radar needs to be replaced.
Important fitting information
NOTE: this radar is not plug & play.
After fitting, the radar sensor must be coded and calibrated with suitable diagnostic equipment. Without correct calibration, adaptive cruise control and the associated assistance systems will not work, or will not work reliably.
We recommend fitting and calibration by a qualified workshop with suitable VAG diagnostic equipment and the correct calibration setup.
