Default Headlight leveling warning light went on/off in the rectangular dash info-box

3 times last week accompanied by a loud warning buzzer. Lights were off at the time. I do not see the warning symbol in the manual (headlight facing left like a backwards D along with beams pointing down along with up/down leveling arrows). Went off after about 30 seconds. Lights level normally. This is not one of the warning lights that cycles the bulb when you start the car.

Has anyone seen this? Headlights autoleveling about to give out?

Default The VAG is your Friend but IIRC then I saw this happen when a Lightbulb went out of service.

But typically the car should give you more Info on that.
Maybe Ex-PzKW or others here have more experience with that. Keep us posted....kind of rare finding you've got there.

Default We had this in my wife's A4 Cab.. xenons and auto leveling...

The dealer found it was a sensor in the rear view mirror. They replaced the mirror and the light never came back again.

It could be this, it could also be a light, a motor, etc.

Default I had the same problem the day I picked up my car from the dealer.

It turned out to be the headlights autoleveling sensor, which was a backordered item (meaning this problem was so common) that they had to pull it from another car, otherwise I had to wait at least a couple of weeks till they get it from Germany.
