Hello From Croatia!

[Max_HR]

Hi everyone! I was driving Toyota corolla AE86 for the last 10 years. I sold the car recently and bought a Lexus IS200 so I decided to join the community. It is 2004, 100 000 km, not sport, leather seats, 17" wheels, navi version. My plan is to keep it stock for now except the diff because I use to drive a RWD car with LSD :) so it would probably be my first upgrade.

Welcome to the LOC. Your IS looks to be in really good condition.

Thanks! Yes, it is in very good condition. Just a few things are missing, front RH headlight washer cover needs to be attached and antenna base is broken so I need to fix it. Probably it has been damaged in the automatic car wash. At the moment I fixed it with Loctite until I find new antenna base. All the rest is fine. I'm very happy with the car :)

Yesterday I decided to fix my faulty front headlights autoleveling sensor but after I opened it, I realized that it is in very bad condition and there is no easy fix :(

Hello and welcome to the LOC

Not been to Croatia yet but my parents enjoyed many holidays there in Dubrovnik and Split.

Looks like a bad case of water ingress in that height sensor best option may be a good secondhand replacement perhaps.

Thanks! There is no bad weather - just bad equipment, I would say :) Especially, if we consider the price. For that kind of money they should be made out of gold, at least :) There was a leakage from the seal side of sensor (not o-ring). Anyway, I'm relay disappointed with quality.

Any idea where can I find one in good condition?

Here's the seal.

OD 21mm

ID 10mm

Wide 8mm

After some investigation I found out that Toyota Prius (2004-) has the same HID autoleveling sensor. Maybe it's good to know that :)
