Knob, you missed the point, not a trust issue with the dealer doing the job just don't trust some 18 year old **** doing handbrake turns or parking my car in the customer carpark for Mr 'I can't see cause my cateracts get in the way' to pull up beside and put a first door dent in the side of my pride and joy!

 

As it is, the BS I was given about needing calibration was BS...... the handy image was perfect for me to have a go at tweeking the height of the offside lamp and now I can see perfectly in the dark.

So I'm a knob for having an opinion on here.

Well mate, you're clearly a bell-end for your response.

As I've said before, you have a SAFETY CRITICAL issue with your car, and you're using a lame-ass excuse about apprentices skidding up your car in the carpark.
WTF?
On what basis do you have to make that claim?

If that was truly the case (ever), then you would have presumably made a police complaint, or discussed with the service manager?

If you don't trust professionals to work on your car, when you have a problem with it... then I suggest you go back to horse & cart.
But you probably wouldn't trust the vet to not shoot your horse if it had a runny nose, either.

VCDS/OBD11 are good devices for adjusting basic things, but when it comes to safety critical items such as being able to see where you're going, all I said was you're better off getting it fixed properly by the professionals, especially while it's covered under warranty.
As soon as you fiddle with it yourself, you open yourself to risk voiding your warranty if you mess it up or break something.
There's also the secondary issue of you potentially blinding oncoming drivers, because you've adjusted it incorrectly.
I'm sure everyone would love to drive country roads with Hella rally spotties on their cars, but we're not allowed to because it would blind other drivers - there's a reason headlight adjustments are part of the compliancing & design-rule requirements of a car, in whatever country you're in.

Hope you get it sorted out regardless of all this, without affecting other road-users.

Yep, you are right, they do self adjust.

Just went out, switched to full on then started the car to see the beam raise up then settle to 'too low' again....

 

Curious. My 245 does the opposite. Lights on Auto, start car and they dip and then rise back to position...
