Hi All

Our new Cinq has got the Seicento Headlight Adjustment unit added.

It doesn't work! You can see that some of the fluid has gone from the pipes.

2 questions:

1) Can it be refilled?
If so how?

2) If it can't be refilled where is the best place to buy a new system from?

Thanks
Lou

I'm not sure I understand this post, but I'll try.

Question - do you mean headlamp level-adjust motors? How were these made? Are they aftermarket? Home-made?

The headlamp adjust level is purely mechanical as far as I know - can you post some pictures please?

It is fitted with one of these:

Wow, I've never seen that before - I'm afraid I can't help at all, sorry.

Very odd!

Looking online, it seems it may be related to cars with Xenon headlamps. Didn't even think they existed!

In terms of replacement, you've answered your own question - put the part no. into eBay or Amazon. I very much doubt you can refill the fluid.

We have decided to remove it! Never had it on the other 2 Cinqs we owned!

that's quite genuinely fascinating

who'd have thought xenons would have been an option back in the day (not on your car, I assume) but within the range...

I had something very similar on a Mk1 Croma back in the day, and it had a fluid tube with a piston at both ends.

It didn't work either
