- Most of us have been here before, we do a job we've done before and speed through it because we gotta get home before supper is cold and BOOM, we break something and the worst part is we knew better. We're all human and it happens, if you broke your headlight level sensor here's how to fix it and how to avoid breaking it in the first place.
part numbers are as follows:
A3/S3 (should fit most/all MQB cars as they most underpinnings are interchangeable)
FR: 5Q0412522C
FL: 5Q0412521C
RR: 5Q0512522F
RL: 5Q0512521G - Auta a dopravní prostředky

Snapped mine 5 min ago. I love you
Had no idea what that part was called. Just searched up green lever under Audi a3 lol, thanks dude! Makes sense why my light was randomly shining to the ground when I started to drive at night. I hit a big pothole that day. Probably broke because of that. Thanks once again man, I thought I had to buy something, very smart of you to just drill a hole, doing the same thing tomorrow!
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
You are amazing. Thank you so much!🤟🏼
Thanks. From Norway 🇳🇴
Magic saved me a trip to citreon thanks 😊
Quick and to the point. Thank you.
Thanks I do my best, honestly I still felt like I rambled a bit but hey you can't win them all
Appreciate this.
That video was great, I actually changed out the unit and fitted a new one but the light is still coming on, on the dash is there any way of clearing that thanks
Stole this from the interwebz for you. www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/xenonalignment.html
Ford Mondeo MK5 my dynamics lights don't do the self leveling thing at start up and won't turn in curves, could this be the same issue?
It would be a super simple place to start looking
I have a 2009 8p s3 with the d3s HID's - I see you posted part numbers for all 4 - is there 4 of these? I know my rear left is broken, but is there one on each side and on the front as well? Not in front of the car, but have ordered some new bulbs to replace the fading HID's and figured I should do it at the same time. Not sure if there is these sensors on the front (and if so, why??) haha. thanks in advance!
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 broke on my 3rd time too LOL!!! thanks
Haha it happens, Complacency gets the best of us
Hi, do you know if cars have one front and one rear headlight adjuster? My car needs a rear one, and when I search on eBay for a replacement, I only seen to be able to find left hand side adjusters. My cars an Audi A4 Avant 2012.
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.
Today went to mechanic he changed my wheels after this incident I got AFS ERROR , probably they broke this sensor, is this possible? AFS and cornering lights error, but lights works , this could be reason?
it's possible but not likely, there's no reason he/she would need to mess with this for a simple wheel change
My two broke ,passat CC 🙈 plastic two side I need buy two 🙈🙈🙈
It happens lol
so you just put a bolt in it to make it hold?
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
Does anybody know how these usualy are wired?
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
Is this is why my Xenon lights won't work? I have A Audi A4 B8 estate 211hp. Thanx
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

Talk less show more. How to disconnect plug. Is it front or only rear.
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
