[jay1601]

my guess would be the level sensor

 

[StaceyS3]

Yeah that's the rear headlight level sensor....mines currently held together with a cable tie

 

[blackshuck]

So you think just attach back at the top with a cable tie? for now

 

[epox]

new springs? looks like its not beeb reconnected or has snapped.
will affect headlights if not working
mark

 

[blackshuck]

Yup snapped

You would go the cable tie route once you get a quote from Audi for the part, then the need to have it calibrated! lol

 

[blackshuck]

Like that is it?

 

[voorhees]

Mines cable tied,I've had my pants down waaay too many times by Audi for that

 

[blackshuck]

looks like a anti roll bar drop link to me mate, might be wrong... odd place for one lol? im new to s3's so not familiar yet

 

[Broken Byzan]

Nothing to do with ARB its the link for the xenons, the link joints normally sieze and eventually snap the arm from the sensor that looks somewhat like the item i linked to

If your not sure I'll go and climb under mine and get a pic,I know it as I replaced my rear ties

 

[blackshuck]

Oh no it didn't just break, I went and broke it myself while fitting the new springs, Doh!
