Continental Truck Sensors, Electronics & Gauges

Continental is one of the main OEM suppliers of sensors and electronic systems for modern trucks. On this brand page you will find tested used Continental NOx sensors, cameras, ECUs and instrument clusters removed from late-model Volvo, MAN, DAF, Scania and Mercedes-Benz HGVs and prepared for re-use by VRA Truckparts.

Most Continental parts in our catalogue sit within exhaust aftertreatment, safety and driver information systems. Typical examples include NOx probes and control units from Euro 5 and Euro 6 SCR exhaust systems, multi-function cameras for lane and emergency braking assistance, dashboard instruments and other electronic modules. Every component is removed carefully from the donor vehicle, visually inspected, cleaned and photographed so that plug types, brackets and labels are clearly visible before you order.

To see related categories, you can also browse our main Used Truck Exhaust & Emissions Parts section, the dedicated Instruments, Dials & Gauges category and other electronic parts for your truck.

Continental electronics for Euro 5–Euro 6 HGVs

Continental develops advanced electronics, sensors and control systems used by leading truck manufacturers worldwide. On this brand page we focus on Continental components taken from Euro 5 and Euro 6 trucks – parts that sit at the heart of exhaust aftertreatment, safety systems and driver information on vehicles such as Volvo FH/FM, MAN TGX/TGS, DAF XF/XG & CF, Scania R/S and Mercedes-Benz Actros, Arocs and Atego.

Because these items come from complete donor vehicles dismantled by VRA Truckparts in the UK, they offer a cost-effective alternative to buying new electronics while keeping genuine OEM quality. If you run one tractor unit or manage a mixed fleet, the right used Continental module can solve an emissions fault, dash warning or camera error without the high price of a brand-new part.

Typical Continental parts you will find here

• NOx sensors and control units taken from SCR exhaust systems on Euro 5–Euro 6 trucks – usually listed under Other Exhaust & Emissions or the main Exhaust & Emissions category.
• Multi-function cameras and driver assistance modules for systems such as lane departure warning, AEBS and traffic sign recognition, often mounted behind the windscreen on late-model trucks.
• Instrument clusters and dashboard gauges supplied under the Instruments, Dials & Gauges category, including speedometers, tachometers and digital displays built by Continental.
• ECUs and electronic control modules associated with engines, exhaust aftertreatment and vehicle body systems, typically grouped with other modules in Computers & Cruise Controls.
• AdBlue / DEF related electronics used to meter and monitor diesel exhaust fluid, sometimes listed together with dosing modules and tanks in our Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Systems section.

Stock changes as new donor trucks arrive in our yard, so if you do not immediately see the Continental part you need, you can still use this brand page to filter the catalogue by manufacturer and then refine by truck make, model, category or OEM number.

How VRA Truckparts tests and grades Continental parts

All Continental components are removed as part of a structured dismantling process in our Essex facility. Donor vehicles are inspected and documented before stripping; electronic systems are tested on the truck wherever practical; then parts are removed with connectors, mounting points and sensor tips protected. Units that show obvious damage or corrosion are rejected instead of being listed for sale.

Each module is cleaned externally, labelled with OEM references from the housing or sticker and stored indoors ready for dispatch. Many listings include donor information (truck brand, model, Euro standard and sometimes VIN) so that workshops can match parts precisely when troubleshooting exhaust faults, dashboard warnings or driver assistance errors.

To understand our approach in more detail, you can also read the dedicated Dismantling & Quality Process page and our overview of Used Truck Parts UK.

Tips for choosing the right Continental component

• Always compare the OEM / Continental part number on your existing unit with the references and label photos in the listing.
• Check the truck make, model and Euro standard shown in the description – many NOx sensors, cameras and ECUs differ between Euro 5 and Euro 6 or between facelift and pre-facelift trucks.
• Look closely at photos of plugs, brackets and cable lengths so that the replacement Continental part will mount and connect exactly like the original.
• If you are unsure, contact VRA Truckparts with your VIN, registration and clear photos of the failed unit. The team can help confirm compatibility or suggest alternatives within the wider Lorry/Truck Parts catalogue.

By combining genuine Continental electronics with VRA Truckparts’ tested used parts process, you can keep modern trucks reliable and emissions-compliant while controlling repair costs and reducing waste.
