Headlight level sensors
I am looking for a bit for advice, I’m showing headlight level fault on dashboard and Vagcom saying offside front and rear sensors fault. Is there only two or one on each corner as I might as well replace them all given the age of the car. Also, is there anything else that could put the sensors into fault that I should check? Thanks

Thanks appreciate your help
Re: Headlight level sensors
What are the exact fault codes?
Use the Vagcom to read the values the sensors are sending. Should be 2.5V when the car is level. If not then check for physical damage to the sensor. If you've had the suspension off recently then the sensor arms can go round the wrong way.

Hi Shoppinit;
Not sure or cant remember what the codes were or what the voltage was as I am away at work at the moment. I haven't had or done any work on the suspension recently so don't think that's an issue but doesn't mean to say a certain company I used to use hasn't done something to try and earn themselves a bit of extra money as I eventually found they were at it but I don't use them anymore so will have this checked when I get back home. Appreciate your help, as soon as I get home I'll PM you with the codes and voltages which maybe will help with diagnostics? Thanks.
