@@AversaS2 It’s called a “ride height sensor,” I believe. Not sure about the part number. It’s a bit of a PITA to replace because it’s held on by the upper control arm bolt which is tricky to remove. I believe the new sensor must be coded, or learned/calibrated to the car with a proper scan tool. I actually was able to creatively repair the broken link on mine w/o replacing the sensor. Other guys find a way to park & jam/secure the broken sensor in a position where the lights are aimed ok & abandon the aiming feature. Good luck.
Have been chasing my head light issues on my 2013 Q5 for a while now - and couldn't figure out why the auto-leveling was suddenly so off - beams way too low ... and it's exactly as you showed - the adjustment rod just hanging barely on to one side ... will have to figure out on how to fix this now - maybe a video for another day ...
I actually diy manually fixed the problem in 20 minutes by removing and then screwing the broken plastic cap back to the lever and reattaching the lever back to the ball points.
Today I started the car and my headlights were basically pointed at the road in front of the car. Figures, it’s winter so it has to throw a tantrum of some kind.
Hey naptown tuner, how about the stupid wire cord getting twisted and breaking on the window modulator that Audi gives everyone .... Or the little wheel the cord spins on. What a joke.. love all ur videos keep it up
What do i do when all my screws and bolts are completly rusted? I got the metal rod off....but it broke off due to stress of when i moved it. Somehow i was able to use a 9mm 12 point wrench on a 10mm bolt and got that off....but what do i do with the other ones. Ive tried to screw the t26 screws off with a simple umbrako key but sadly the holes have corroded away. And now theyre just sircle holes....
My man! I came here looking for headlamp aim procedure, found this vid, then immediately found a broken link on a 2010 Q5! Thanks!
Do you happen to remember a part name or number? My wife’s 2010 Q5 is having the same issue.

Great Info on the headlight issue.. I also have been struggling with this same issue…Is there a part number on this item…Where can I purchase these?

Don't know if this comment will go through. Nap, so glad to see things progressed and blowing up!
So what if the lever is good and it doesn’t work?

Does this work for 2017 2.0 Q3 ?
Bingo! Thanks you’re an Ace!
On the back wheels?? For real? Lol
Naptown, my b7 s4 I just got running has flickering headlights. New bulbs already. What do you think the issue is?
Did your sensor set off an the dash before fixing, I have the same issue but the sensor has not been set off on my dash
Thanks so much for this man. My 2011 Q5 lights have been very low after having front lower control arms changed
Is there an adjuster for each headlight; so two in total in behind the rear wheel?
would this through a headlight range control no signal code?
Never knew. Until now.
My Audi A4 b8 is doing this, if I turn left or right quick, it adjusts up, then comes down. I figure they are broken, is the process the same?
did you figure it out?
@@Slowednreverbedd yeah it’s the headlight adjustment sensor, they are located on the control arms
