Mine is pulling to the left, need to keep steering wheel all the time. Just a few seconds and I am slightly getting off the course.
- It happens on any road, on a motorway, on any line, so it is not about the road curvature.
- I've done tracking 3 times already. All reports are near to the perfect. I was asking mechanics and they checked whole suspension/chassis. No any loose or wobbly parts. All nice, fresh and tight.
- Pressure is 2.5 BAR on each wheel. So... where's the issue? ☹️Tyres: Vredestein Quatrac PRO 225/45 R17 94 V XL, FSL. They were brand new, and from that time issue started. Before it was fine - it didn't pull to any of the sides, but dealer fitted car with an extremely cheap tyres that I could drift while standing still. 😂 After about 2-3 weeks i replaced them with a "better" once for safety reasons.

I was servicing my car last evening, and also I've stuck at the filter replacing. It was too late to get it at any shop, but according to the dealer, full service was done 4k km, so I decided to leave it the way how it is and replace it next time. A little bit more on the same oil filter isn't bad. More important to change the oil after all, right?
For the future, I bought this one here - https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AmxkXp -
It seems that there are a few models to choose from. Cheaper ones with lower memory and slower processor, lower storage, and older Android versions... But I found this one. Ain't cheap, but it's better to get something that you will be happy with if investing the time and hassle.
And I found this video that explains pretty nice how to install it on your own. It is a different model, but procedure seems be the same right?
@lexusmoon - can you tell us was the procedure of the installation pretty much the same? -

That's a lot of stickers, are any of them necessary?
Well... Ireland... I've one more in the top left corner on the windshield too:
1 - Insurance disk
2 - Road Tax disk
3 - Technical Test disk
4 - Parking space permit disk- 1
-
So everything's clear now. Thank you all for help.
SOLVED: If you have any sticker for tax/insurance disk that is blocking sunlight on that small, rounded dome on the left hand side under the windshield - remove it.- 2

Now everything is clear. Dealer put the sticker on the lower left corner of the windshield where dome is. Sticker is blocking all sunlight that it should get.

If the sun is shining directly on the front of the car the auto lights can come on too - something in the sensor measures that too. But in normal daylight (no direct sun) they should be off.
That's what I thought. Normal daytime, a bit cloudy and headlights are on in my case... That's a waste a bit.
-
No, they are set to auto. I am manually switching them to daytime running lights at daytime, as automatic... well.. automatic activates headlights for the most of the time. Only in crazy bright day with clear sky and tone of sunshine automatic works the proper way. For the normal days, not really...

OK, Thank you all for your extremely quick response. I'll try to sort it out then and will be back with the results.

I can't remember which way around it is at the moment - the manual doesn't really make it clear - you may need to experiment to see which way to go... I did change mine to 1 as I wanted them to come on a bit earlier (for example when raining) but can't remember which way but will try and remember to check later.
For me -2 or +2 they are mostly ON anyways xD
Will try to clean this sensor or maybe it's a bit faulty... -
Just now, Brechin Slate said:
Correct the - sign is less sensitive the + sign more sensitive
So it has nothing to do with amount of light?
-
Thank you for your replies.
So... setting it to minus is a sensitivity how quick it reacts or lighter / darker?
If I want them to turn on automatically only when it gets darker, then should I set it to -2? -
Hi Guys!
I am wondering about automatic headlight sensor location, where is it? Anyone know?
Automatic headlights are a nice feature, sure, but in my case, even during the bright day it's on. Few times lights switch themselves off to daylights during the cloudless day straight on roasting sun, but that's it. Normally headlights are on 99% of the time during the day. I know I am living in Dublin, but c'mon! 😄So.. Location of that sensor? Maybe it's dirty AF and that's why it "thinks" it's constantly dark around me?
Many thanks for all replies.

I can try to swap them and will see what happens.
