Headlight adjusting sensor -
Hi,
Took the car to the dealers because of an odd knocking/clicking noise from the passenger side rear wheel area when moving.
They diagnosed it as needing a new headlight adjusting sensor which is a sealed unit, part number 33146 S2A G01 [could be 901].
Anyway they said the part was

I would suggest you give a scrappies a ring and fit the part yourself! (You are talking about the auto leveller unit arnt you?) Unfortunately anything headlight related is expensive, i paid

if you look down the holes in your inner fenders you will see a little crosshead screw, which you can turn to adjust your hid beams, try searching im sure there is a diagram on here somewhere

I've just had a similar problem - I'd try greasing the linkage up first. I think the ball joints have a tendency to dry out and sieze. A dealer will obviously not want to do this as it might come back and also there's work in it for them. However - it's quick to do yourself and might get you by.

The headlight leveller can have a tendency to sieze as it did on mine. Mine made a moise that sounded like an old rusting pram, in that everytime I pulled away or braked there was a very loud squeeck.
I would just suggest removing the wheel and check for a siezed ball joint on the arm that connects between the leveller and the lower wishbone. Then just clean and apply some grease.
