They look like this: pissko.rajce.idnes.cz/mix/#AlteaFrontSenzors.jpg (sorry, not able to post a picure or a link).
It was more a coinsidence that I got them. They were for approx 100 EUR, but I think normally they are something around 200. It works the way that after shifting from rear gear they are active for 20 secs, but the rear gear is a prerequisite. In facelifted Altea (not freetrack) there is also a button to activate them, I don't have that, but it is not a
problem.
