Phaeton :: Unable To Adjust Headlight - Misalignment?


Jan 20, 2013

After small collision with dear my right front headlight was replaced, but it is misalignment. I read few post about adjusting, with VCDS and mechanical. My main problem is that I unable to turn adjusting screws, I can turn it 90 deg right or left I feel that the only mechanism deforms, but no lens move at all. Is it something blocking? I was trying with VCDS and without, with key on and off ...

Lexus GS 2013+ :: GS350 F-Sport Lowered - How To Adjust Headlight Beam

I recently lowered my wife's gs350 f sport and was wondering how to adjust the headlight beam? I followed the adjustment screws from the owner's manual and they tried to raise them, but they don't move. I know the headlights are adaptive so the move up and down with a motor so not sure if that is why they don't move with the adjustment screws.

Phaeton :: Steering Column Lost The Ability To Adjust Up And Down

My V10's steering column has lost the ability to adjust up and down. In and out is still fine though and the position memory works, just for in and out too. I was thinking that a fuse may have gone but I can't see a fuse dedicated to this in the manual. No doubt it'll be something much more complicated than that though.

Phaeton :: Gear Stick In P Position - Unable To Lock The Car With Remote Keys

Got the following problem with my 2004:

1. Unlocked ny car this morning by use of my remote key and the alarm went off.
2. Got the alarm turned off by locking and unlocking my car several times by use of my remote keys
3. Put the car in reverse and took out of the garage. Parked the car and put the gear stick in P position. The knob on the left side of the gear stick remained in the "in" position where one usually can move the gear stick up and down between the gears.
4. However, I was not able to move the gear stick, and the main display said something in German like "Call the workshop".
5. Locked the car bye use of one of my three remote keys.
6. Later, after trying to solve the gear stick problem by moving the knob and the gear stick in several ways I was not able to lock the car with any of my remote keys. No messages were displayed.
7. I was only able to manually lock the door where I used my key.

The knob on the gear stick is showing scratch marks so someone has tried to do something to it earlier. I have owned the car since easter this year and has not experienced this problem earlier.

The battery on the left side of the car is new, and the batteries were charged for 12 hours two weeks ago. The car has not been driven much since easter, and has only been taken in and out of the garage four times during the last three weeks without being driven.

Golf/GTI VI :: Steering Wheel Misalignment

The steering wheel of my new 2010 GTI rests about 5-10 degrees left of center when traveling in a straight line on the level surface with properly inflated tires. When requested to investigate this matter, Pignataro Volkswagen of Everett, Washington responded that their mechanic was unable to see any misalignment of the steering wheel during his test-drive and that any post-delivery wheel alignment issues are not covered under the 3yr/36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty.

This may seem like a very minor issue, but I don't think it's too much to ask that a brand-new automobile have a steering wheel that is indexed in a properly centered position when traveling in a straight line on a level road without any "crown" to its surface.

Toyota :: Can Misalignment Cause Flat Tires?

I'm not sure if this is a stupid question or not, but can tire misalignment cause flat tires? I ask because earlier tonight my drivers side tire went flat as I was taking off from a red light. The tire doesn't look damaged from the outside. I put the spare on, which looked practically new since I had never used it, but within three miles the spare went flat.

When I got my tires rotated a few weeks ago I noticed a slight pull to the right, but after a day or two I stopped noticing it. I'm not sure if I just got used to it, or if it was just me not being used to the new tires.

I am having the tire patched tomorrow, but The thought that the misalignment might be causing this has just stuck itself in my head and won't go away.

Phaeton :: Headlight Washer Not Working

I recently bought an 2005, 3ltr diesel Phaeton (though packed with options) in Germany. I drove it home and was, and am, in awe of the motoring experience.

As a fan of cars I am lucky to own a Opel Speedster (VX 220 in the UK) and a Buick Riviera Boattail from 1972. But the Phaeton beats all of them together!

But......my newly acquired Phaeton failed the technical control over here in Belgium due to the headlight washers (squishers?) not working (coming out of the bumper). Not even with the manual override through the control screen.

Dealer have checked every fuse, replaced on of the batteries which was not functioning properly (and was causing numerous 'power' errors). The car has been with them for two weeks now and I am getting desperate to drive my car.

Phaeton :: Headlight Goes Off Intermittently Then Came On Brighter?

I have a little problem with my bi xenon's. When my headlights are on and i accelerate they some times flicker on and off for a split second , or then go off completely and come back on or they become brighter than usual for a brief moment.

I was going to look at it my self and check for loose connections but am a little busy for removing the headlights and checking the ballasts at the moment, it has been on my "to do list " for several weeks and i am no closer. As you can imagine it is very annoying and potentially very dangerous if a motorist waiting to pull out from a junction takes my flickering light to be and invitation to pull out.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Steering Column / Cluster Misalignment

My brand new 2016 F-250 Super Duty has a misalignment running down the steering column. Looking just over the top of the airbag cover, the shroud that protects the gear shift and upper steering components is depressed on one side... and further back, the shroud for the cluster is depressed a different direction. Certainly nothing earth shattering, but it annoys me every time I see it.
