If you can find a dealer with stock or willing to source expect an eye watering price  :-[

Are the lights still functioning ok when you turn them on?, ie, go down then come back up again which shows self levelling adjusters are ok. I have the same message on mine and it passed MOT last month. I think the guy who does my car mechanics was quoted around £70 for a sensor from Vx. :-\ HTH.

£119, with TC, when I asked last year ;)

The funny thing is that when I installed a new battery the warnings, that had been flashing up every so often, stopped :o :o :)

Already inspected wirings that come to sensors?

I had very small crack at rear sensor wiring insulation and over time water made it tricks and that warning message lighted up.

SENSOR,HEADLAMP LEVELLING (FRONT AXLE) USE 93197245  :y
The electrical part is the same front and rear just the brackets are different.
Have you tried repairing yours, they are easy to disassemble.

There's the bolts holding them to the subframes and screws holding them to the brackets.

If you can't undo the brackets, then you're clearly not trying...

How can this be repaired? I get these error occasionally. Last time I asked, the price was well over £200.

Depends what you find when you take it apart,they have 3 or 4 soldered joints which can fail.

Is this what I'm expecting to see?


My dad said he soaked his sensor in a petrol based degreaser it works now. Could it just be dirty? Perhaps I could use a contact cleaner used in electronics, i.e. potentiometers. Maybe we can even use a potentiometer :D

How can they justify charging £200 for something like this....
