Hello everyone,
I have an issue with one of my VW Scirocco 2010 2.0 TDI headlights (right one to be precise). My electronic height set doesn't work as it should be. I can only describe symptoms. It DOES got up and up only, but when I try to lower the beam electronicly, it does nothing. I can also move the lens pretty easily with the hand, if I open the cover to the motor, its pretty much easily movable around. If I try to adjust lens with allen key (the one with which you can fine tune headlight height), it does move a little, but quickly start to pop and just skip a gear, or as it sounds at least.
Anyone has any ideas how would I fix this? I am pretty good with electronics and part engieneering, so if I can somehow open the headlight (as much as I looked at it, its sealed for good), I can 3D model a gear or whatever is broken and re-print it. But how would I get a look at the mechanism? Am I just blind or is it REALLY hard to get to the mechanism of the headlight?
If I skipped any important info that is needed, please ask and I'll provide as much info as I can get. I checked forum posts on here and other sites, but nothing as similar. My veyr wild-guess for it all would be that something in the mechanism is worn out, but only in one way. So it can go one way, but other way is rather flat.
PS. OBD doensn't give any error regarding the headlight (or anything else at all for that matter)
Thanks everyone
Cheers
