Self Levelling Headlamps

[Jeff Richardson]

Hi folks, only recently got into the world of MB. I have a 1995 E Class 22cdi Avantgarde, which failed it's MOT for

• Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a)

I have read that there can be issues with the control arm from the motor. before I go looking to remedy this, is it possible this could be a fuse issue and be worth checking first.

Thanks in advance

Jeff

On my later E class ,there is an arm and sensor in the drivers side front wheel well by the spring and one above the rear diff . The arms tend to rust and snap .
Not sure if your set up is the same though

Thanks Wighty, turned out it was the control arm in the drivers side wheel well. Sorted now.

Us E classer’s have got to stick together buddy . Make sure the rear one is lubed up as well

Agreed, plenty of lube on the rear...
