Detailed Description
The Arnott RH-5049 headlight level sensor measures the distance between the chassis and the road surface and sends that information to the ECU. The system then uses the signal to adjust air suspension compressor output and maintain correct vehicle stance and lighting alignment. This sensor is a direct-fit replacement for the rear left position on 2015 Audi A3, 2015 Volkswagen Golf, and 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen applications. Use RH-5049 when replacing a worn or damaged ride height sensor on vehicles that rely on electronic leveling control.
What It Helps Fix
- Incorrect headlight aim caused by faulty ride height input
- Suspension height readings that are inconsistent or erratic
- Air suspension control issues related to sensor wear
- Damage from road debris, water, salt, or impact exposure
- Warning lights or leveling faults tied to sensor failure
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify rear left fitment before installation and match the connector style, terminal count, and mounting location to the original sensor. Inspect the linkage, wiring, and surrounding suspension components for corrosion or damage before installing the new unit. Confirm proper calibration or system relearn procedures after replacement if required by the vehicle.
