Hello all!
Vehicle is a 2020 Volvo XC30 D3 Inscription Plus (RHD)
My vehicle is equipped with the standard LED lights with auto high beam function and cornering lights. I have not changed any settings relating to the lights since having orbit.
Last year after my car went for its MOT and software update (Craig Moncrieff Edinburgh by the way are great!) I noticed the dipped beam was low but only after a month or so after its MOT (car wasn’t driven in the dark until then). I’m not saying the garage has done anything but I’m wondering if there has been an issue with software that anyone could enlighten me on? (Current update 3.7 Sensus) but unsure if there were any config changes to lights.
My dipped beam headlight aim is excessively low. The light throw is around 20ft in front of the bonnet when on dipped beam and when on auto high beams it comes in around 10ft in front of the car appearing as if it’s angled down excessively. If I switch it back to conventional dipped beams it moves back to the 20ft position. I can confirm this wasn’t the case before the car went into
When I start the car it does the usual calibration and the lights move up and down and everything appears to be normal until starting to move.
High beams are fine with no issues. I’ve checked both suspension level sensors and they appear to be working and I’ve got no codes for any faults. (I do have a new level sensor loaded in the parts cannon!)
I’ve seen people have had issues with the high beam function and state there is an adjustment screw but I’ve only seen that for people with high beam issues and nothing on dipped beam.
I’m sure it’s not a mechanical failure if the components (no codes, self level adjustment appears to function as normal. I can’t see anything on the ECU tab to recalibrate the level sensors or adjust the headlight throw.
Thanks for any input you have. It’s driving me insane as well as being irritating and unsafe. Luckily I drive my other car mainly at night because this is the wife’s motor!
Cheers
