A few photos for those wondering where and what the xenon light leveling sensor looks like. To be honest it's pretty primitive...

What was it you wanted to see in particular?
-
mine looks to be touching the antiroll bar just slightly.
I wanted to know if its all correctly aligned or its somehting else :happy2:
-
I've had a look and I don't have a shot of the rear ARB looking towards the car.
Not sure if this image helps at all...

Sorry to bump an old thread. Can anyone circle the front sensor for me, I can't see where it is exactly on the photo above.
Also as I have an open to short on VAG COM on my front leveller can someone post a photo of where the connector attaches to the sensor please.

its not in the photo as that shows the rear sensor im pretty sure your front sensor is attached to the nearside front wishbone/bottom arm

Thanks, I was thinking I was missing something!
Would it be possible for me to get to it without jacking the car up?

full lock the wheel all the way to the right, and you'll at least be able to see the sensor to see if theres any physical damage...
-
Thanks thats really useful. Will give that a go tomorrow to see if I can see if the cable is connected.
-
NSF wheel needs to come off but then the sensor is readily accessible. Pic attached - I've circled the sensor in red, and the cable with the blue arrow is the connector for it (not connected in this pic)

Thanks mark five! :happy2:
Just turned the wheel to full lock and visually inspected the sensor. All looks well attached and the cable is connected, although I think I will have to get the wheel off to disconnect and reconnect it and see if that makes a difference.
-
Sorry to dig up an old thread. Does anyone know the cost of a replacement arm?
-
Bump! I'm gonna ring the stealers but want to know what a good price is!
-
You cannot buy the arm by itself you have to buy the whole sensor and mechanism
Roughly about £90

Cheers, what are the difference between the revisions, I can get 1k0 941 273E quite cheap and was wondering if it would be compatible with my '07 ed 30?
