Xenon headlamp sensor to buy or alternative part

[Fablukasz]

So I've got a slight issue, my level sensor at the back doesn't seem to be working at all and the connector seems to be stuck on.

 

Is there anyway I can get that plug off or just replace the sensor?

389 euros is a bit steep for just a sensor.. unless someone is selling one?😁

Almost certainly a locking tab somewhere that needs flicking or pulling. The connector will have been dusted and sprayed with all sorts of crap over the years so lashings of WD40 or similar might help. For cheap alternatives, ALIEXPRESS....

It looks like the plastic has welded on somehow… I’ve managed to find another Skoda level sensor, just couldn’t figure out how to get the damn thing off so I can swap it😂
