  • Headlight Level Sensor

    Anyone have any experience with these? Not sure, but think there are two - one on front and one on rear axle. I just noticed the one on the rear axle (just behind rear passenger wheel) is broken - sheared off. I now need to fit a new one - I assume it stops the lights from blinding people if you have passengers in the back seats and luggage in the boot? Not sure how critical otherwise?

    Now, VW have quoted $318 for this part (includes GST). "Googled" and found lots on EBay and elsewhere. Anything to be wary of? Looks pretty simple to fit though. Any suggestion/s re place/s to buy from? Don't think any input from VCDS required - just replace sensor (two bolts)?

    Have been having a bit of luck with the old JB Weld; so, removed the sensor, cleaned it thorougly with degreaser spray then IPA and a toothbrush. Applied JB Weld to broken piece and left for a week. Reinstalled several months ago and no prob's since. Already had the JB Weld so saved $318!
