Title: Xenon Self Leveling Not Working - Help
Post by: smithian on 05 February 2010, 08:41

Hi all.
TO cut a long story short, crashed my car in to a kurb over the holiday in the bad weather and finally got it sorted. Ended up having the steering rack replaced. Trouble is having got the car back I've noticed that the self leveling on the Xenon's isn't working and the lights are pointing to far down so I'm unable to see at night properly. Could this be related to the steering rack change and if so can I rectify the problem or does it need to go back to the stealer?

Sounds like one of the level sensors is either broken or was not replaced. Best to bring it back to the dealers.

take the front passenger wheel off I presume this is the side that was hit,  just to the back of the drive shaft you will see the level sensor, make sure it looks okay and that the plug is still in,  the leveling system may just need re-setting??

Thanks everyone.

Put it back in to the stealer and it seems that someone forgot to plug the front sensor back in when I had my steering rack replaced, so they plugged it back in and reset the headlamps and alls working again.

Were error codes showing? Or did they Just check they were plugged in?
