ACC/Front assist unavailable

Our 2015 GTD ACC is faulty, intermittently.
It will happily work for say 1 hour of a journey sometimes, then suddenly beeps and "ACC front assist unavailable, no sensor view" or something similar.
Sometimes it will happen within 5 minutes of driving, other times it will work perfectly for more than 1 hour.

Now I suspect the car has hit something previously, as I had to replace the AC condenser as it was holed & leaking. While doing this I had a look at the ACC sensor and the outer casing was cracked (not a big issue), and one of the mounting brackets looks slightly bent, meaning the sensor doesn't sit perfectly level, but not sure if this is the issue or not?

I tried fitting a new sensor but this brings up a stop/start error and ACC doesn't work at all, understandably will need calibrating.
From reading on this forum, VW are the only people who can reprogram/calibrate the sensors, and it ain't cheap!

Just wondered if anyone has experienced similar and resolved it?


Thanks

I'm undergoing less frequent episodes of the same thing. Just posted under general discussion on the main forum. Mine is a 2015 Leon Cupra 280 ST, so markedly similar oily bits & electronics.
