Hello

Would someone tell me the location of the leveling sensors for the headlight focusing tilting. A picture or details of where it is, would be much appreciated.

KO4-S4 said in a post

"Inspect one front and one rear level sensor attached to suspension control arm, typically driver side."

but this is not enough for me to find it.

There is an annoying beeping from the computer that the levelng is not working.
BTW is there a way just to stop the beeping.

many thanks

 

As far as I know the leveling is done by two screws which are on the housing they do not look like regular screws (I dont know what they are called but when you open it you will know) I belive that one is from the top of the housing one from the back of the housing...correct me if I am wrong fella's ... This will only level them out to your liking, they usually come preset by manufacturer, and they need to be adapted via Vag-Com...

I also had the same issue but it was neither of them It was my rear view mirror sensor that was shot, so the best thing to do before you touch anything is to diagnose it first with a vag-com

 

Thanks for the response

To be very specific I am looking for the location of the electronic sensors that control and adjust the headlight tilting motors.
Not mechanical screws

thanks

 

The suspension level sensors are attached to the lower control arms on the driver side front and back suspension. They should be ~ 1" square little box with a pivot arm and an electrical wire connection, should be the only electrical device attached to the suspension arms and not to be confused with ABS brake sensor attached to the upright axle hub.

Best bet would be to start checks with VAG-COM. Note that you can see suspension sensor output voltages which will tell you if they are out of spec (bent sensor bracket, etc), also moving suspension while VAG reading sensor voltages will tell you if sensors are electrically and mechanically functional.

VAG scan the headlights for DTC's. If no obvious errors other than something like "headlights not adjusted", then I would try this documented procedure before changing anything else:

Thank you for the detailed explanation (K04-S4) much appreciated
