Title: Front Xenon leveller fitting/replacement
Post by: jaye2992 on August 09, 2016, 04:41:03 pm
Wondering if anybody can help.....

The front leveller for my xenons has failed and needs changing. Does anybody have a guide on how to do this? I have had the wheel off and had a look but cant seem to get access to it?

Also does anybody have a part number for this part?

Thanks  :smiley:

@Eddie-NL (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2345) had one in the for sale section, he might still have it... @jaye2992 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10663)

I think I have a sensor from B6 passat, so if you can change the leg could sell it cheap.

Same as the golf ones?
Any info on getting the old one off?

Thanks

Might be a bit cheaper from Germany @ £73. Bought one of these in 2014 from this seller and it's still working on my '55 reg GTI.

The guide mentioned by Tappy worked for me as well :)
