[Resolved] What the heck is this (LED level sensor)?

[Crazymind]

Anybody on this? Rear passenger side wheel, just in front of the coil, look like an aerial connected only at the bottom not at the top. What is this for? And should it be attached to the square box just on top?
I have got electronic dumpers if of any help.

Do you have LED headlights?

Looks like a broken level sensor for LED headlights.

What he said.

LED auto leveling sensor.

One on front suspension and one on rear suspension.

Looks broken to me.

[RESOLVED] Rear suspension - what’s be this small strut that’s snapped?

Was just changing my wheels and noticed the following which looked like it’s snapped. No idea what it is. Any one able to save me hours of googling 2016 t6 140

Thanks folks! I was chasing this LED fault forever and I didn’t realise there was a rear sensor! For reference, the fault code was headlight aiming too low.

Quite common on vehicles with LED lights and suspension changes.

If the sensor arm is not disconnected it will snap when the rear axle is pulled down to replace springs.

I've fixed a few now using a bonnet strut threaded ball.

Had the VW Garage to look at it while they are replacing the driveshaft (770 quid!!!).They have replaced the spring 15 months ago. I wasn’t aggressive about it but they were not going to take the blame after 15 months. However I have been quite firm about my opinion on the matter, suggesting it might have happened at the time of Coil replacement. Desk had a chat with the Mech and got back to me offering free labour to replace it and me to pay the part. I took the deal with no more discussion. After 15 months I think it’s fair enough, and I have appreciated their effort to make me happy. They are usually very thorough and knowledgeable with my Van and so far this has been the best garage to look after my van. Job was quoted 280 squid, just the part makes total 152. Can’t still believe they charge 128 pounds one hour…!
