Those zip ties are so I won't loose the spanner lol :) I couldn't believe that spanner was exact same size and the ends fitted perfectly ( 8mm and 10mm I believe ). I will definitely think of a way to seal the ends. Will go for a test drive to see what AFS will do :) Cheers p.s. negotiated 450eur when I bought the car because of flashing AFS light without knowing the cure. Paid 6eur to fix and 2hours in total. Gamble paid off :)

and here is my fix after being quoted 520eur for the sensor itself. No more flashing 'AFS off'

So Ok . An update. Checked the front sensor just to find this: So moving it manually horizontally fixes the problem and AFS off is not flashing anymore. Just to find the replacement is the task.

Do you guys have some knowledge about the front sensor assembly ? Thinking to look at it if it in good order.

Yes , I did. Gave no changes

Hello again guys, So OK, I replaced that metal piece with original part and mounted it back and looks just fine. So now, when I start the engine 'AFS off' is on ( not flashing but is on ) and I am able to turn it off and on with the switch in computer but after ~5sec the 'AFS off' starts flashing and computer no longer reacts to On Off commands. Any advice ? maybe I should restart somehow the system or is it issue with some other component?

Quick update. Got the piece ordered at local dealer for 7 € . Will see after a week

Thank you for the reply. I wonder, isn't this particular piece used to measure the height ? Or is it just needed for a metal-to-metal connection ? I am just not sure what this piece does for the sensor. If it's just metal connection any piece of metal with some ball joints should do the trick, or am I wrong ? :/ I will visit local parts dealer to check that part number. I had no luck trying to find this piece for sale online. I'm thinking.. If I make that piece no.3 of any other piece of metal should that do the trick ? Bit confused.

Hello guys, Pleasure of becoming a part of this forum. I just acquired IS220d German. I have couple questions and would love any suggestion or advice you guys have. First of all, my headlamps does go up/down on start up but does not move left/right while driving. AFS off blinking. So I found this part broken. Marker no.1 - Ball moves perfectly. Marker no.2 - Completely stoned ball Marker no.3 - Broken piece. Can someone advice if some DIY could fix it ? Does any piece of metal can be put instead of the please no3 ? Is it possible to free the ball no.2 by soaking the part in some kind of liquid ? Maybe someone knows the part number of this piece as I'm struggling to find any info online? Any help is much appreciated
