Hello everyone,
I have a question about the headlight height adjustment, mines not working. Can maybe some explain how this system works. Does it works with a cable or something.
Greetings Johan

Re: headlight height adjustment
It works with hydraulic fluid... when it works.
In my 309 it is dead, and a new is too expensive so I use springs just like in the 309 which don't have it

Re: headlight height adjustment
Yes, that's hell to repair that! If it's not working you should have a leak somewhere, just have to find it.

Re: headlight height adjustment
You can have a look at my 309 at the meeting. There it works perfectlyjojoe31 a écrit :i never saw a 309 with a system that works !!
. But I had to repair it because I would otherwise not get a street legal by TÜV inspector (vehicle testing every 2 years for road safety in Germany). Now I use it every month, so it does not break down again because it was expensive.My vehicles:
PEUGEOT 309 Graffic 1992
Wartburg 353S 1987
Nissan Leaf e+ 62 kWh 2021
SIMSON Schwalbe KR51/1
SIMSON SR50 B4

Re: headlight height adjustment
maybe it just works on export cars so they'd give a good image to the 309 !!
I prefer the manual system as SRDTURBO said.I didnt change mine yet but i will soon do..
As for the carburator..manual chocke is way better then my automatic chocke !!!

Re: headlight height adjustment
I have the system almost working now. I filled up the 'pistons' with oil, and when I turn the knob the pistons goes back in. But at one side the psitons had a leak, so I had too repair that. The only thing is that where the piston a comes in too holder at headlamp is broken. The only thing is that the adjustment knob does turn back.
So maybe it will work after many years.

Re: headlight height adjustment
The system is working. I replaced the one that was leaking from one wich came out a 205. So it finally working after al these years, it's not to difficult to do the job.

Re: headlight height adjustment
This system has never worked on my 309 lol !
The manual system directly on the headlight support is the best one. it is available on the basical model of 309.

Re: headlight height adjustment
I must say it's working fine now, and it's very ingenious, maybe not really sustainable over al these years.
