hey, guys where can I get just the rod for the level sensor besides buying the new kit from this link or similar? The front one seems fine I have sprayed it with wd40.

I don't think you can buy just the rod, the whole thing comes together as a part. I suppose you could buy a used one off eBay and disassemble/reassemble but I'd personally just buy a new part.

Also, are you sure you've got the right part number? 4H0941309C is the part number for the rear left headlight sensor when I looked it up.

i don't have the air suspension so only 2 one in front and one in the back both driver's side. Seems like the part number is with air suspension.

here is the part number i found by calling dealer

Ah yes you're right 8R0941309E is the one as it's without air suspension.

Another option you could try is some of the Latvian/Lithuanian sellers on eBay, e.g. https://www.ebay.com/itm/201928132265. I've used this particular seller before, though the shipping times are loooong.

guess will try to make my own rod I have adjusted the headlight manually for now by moving the sensor. It is sticking for now but I'm sure it will move after carwash.
