This is probably the one thing that's not working in the car for me.

and as i gonna be soon moving and refurbishing the new house, i'll be driving a lot loaded... would be nice and kind towards others to have the headlamp level adjustable. 

 

I read here on the forum and in the workshop manual that it's a closed system filled with some antifreeze. 

Is there a way to sort it out, refill perhaps? 

 

Sorry if there was already a topic about it, my "headlamp level" search brought up everything from the next week even but not this. 

All comments are appreciated,

Mine is beyond repairable, so that was in my to-buy list. Last time when I checked online, the part was available for Favorit and Felicia too. (Not interchangeable).

Now I've checked again and not available anymore in my area.

Part number for Felicia is 6U1941331A. They sell it as a whole kit. Pre-filled. Like this:

 

There is a whole topic here, six pages long, dedicated to headlight level adjusters:

https://www.skoda-techweb.cz/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10933

They discuss repair and modification options here.

Some say, new hydraulic headlight level adjusters would only last 1.5 or 2 years. Electric conversion is a longer lasting option.

Also there is an aftermarket conversion kit which converts original hydraulic system to electrical:

Thanks! 

 I can see on mine that the right hand side adjuster has air in the tube. Marked the level on the hose and turned the knob, but nothing happened. 

I read in one of the linked posts that they often fail for not being used. Is that an MOT failure in Czech Republic? That was my impression from reading the comments. 

It is available here...  or maybe not

I found this method easy enough to do though:

So thanks again, now i know what to do. 

In the middle of moving from one place to the next, so this will have to wait but i'll post some pictures and description once done.

Mine worked for few years and suddenly stopped so i don't care about it at all because i don't use it.

In SP-EL the price is high, does worth to spend so much money plus shipping and installation?

 

I don't know for Cz but for GR definitely not. 😃

Go for electric kit. The hydraulic one is not reliable.

Don't bother brother
