QUICK/EASY headlight level sensor repair 

I managed too make a rear bracket and made a tie rod the front one I had too buy brand new because plastic arm broke

Thank you for confirming my suspicions LOL when I post a video I try to tag it so it's searchable for people like me who don't always know the names of parts. Thanks for watching and glad it helped

Thanks I do my best, honestly I still felt like I rambled a bit but hey you can't win them all

Stole this from the interwebz for you. www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/xenonalignment.html

I would just punch the part number for the front one into either Google or eBay, being that these cars are built on shared platforms hardly any of the parts are rare or too expensive. Sounds like a good plan

Bro I used cloth hanger. The metal one and tied it like it’s holding an engine lol. It worked but I wouldn’t recommend it, the car gets confused sometimes. Btw (Porsche Cayenne 2008)

it's possible but not likely, there's no reason he/she would need to mess with this for a simple wheel change

Haha it happens, Complacency gets the best of us

Really kind of depends on the suspension and headlight package of your car, there's a good chance you only have a rear one.

@@96ej thankyou! I have a feeling it’s only one by the way it been written on my mot sheet too.

If you got rear-ended I would imagine that you might have broken a wire in the trunk somewhere, or it put tension on the harness and caused a fault

@@96ej the shock was at the front left side I had the headlight broken, bumper lightly damaged, one radar detector broken and a bent front left wing. The AFS light came up a month after the shock for like a week it disappeared then reappeared and since it is permanent even with the repairs done, I asked the garage who did the repair and they have been playing blame game's that I have an electric problem but it did not exist before the accident and everything was functioning normal. Note we had rains during the period the car was waiting to be repaired

Yep You can also get new ones on eBay for about 30 bucks but at the time I broke this those weren't a thing at least not that I could find

ahh just realised those part numbers are for the 8v anyway

There's a good chance your car only has two, for the 8V's it depended on what suspension you had. The best way is to just get under there and look, Honestly though if everything is working I wouldn't mess with it.

It happens lol

If I get a few minutes this weekend I'll get under there and look but as far as I remember it's only two wires and I would say it's normally closed because I believe level sensor is nothing more than a potentiometer

It would be a super simple place to start looking

Work as in not light up at all or won't self adjust?

@@96ej not light up at all :(

@@AndyNuberg unrelated, do the turn signals etc work?

@@96ej yes.... changed two lightbulbs and i have light again :) Thanx

@@AndyNuberg is your car halogen or Xenon? Without seeing it it's kind of like just shooting fish in a barrel but your next step would be to look at the connectors and see if they're burning up, check to see if you're getting power at the ballast if you have xenon lights, check all fuses/relays, the headlight switch itself may be bad which on some models is super easy to change and rule out. If you have vcds or something similar or have access to it from a friend or something it never hurts to give your car a scan either

Remember remember the 5th of November

You're right sometimes I have a lot of lung, on my car it's only the rear but if you have DCC or mag ride you probably have one on the front as well
