Headlamp adjuster problem

Post by pointer »

Having just bought a second hand B6 Estate a couple of months ago, I noticed that the drivers side headlamp main beam was much too high. I tried the adjuster with a long allan key but, whilst it rotated both ways, the beam did not change. :-?

Knowing the plastic adjuster was a simple gearing which should make the round plastic worm (?) to rotate, but it did not. I checked the passenger side to make sure I was correct and that did rotate, both ways, and the beam changed each time. :-?

It seems to me that the plastic parts of the drivers side have 'parted company', so does any one know if those parts are available, or does it mean a replacement head lamp body? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks. :-??
