All Things Mk5 > Mk5 General Area

Mot nightmare of the decade...

<< < (2/2)

Lightynolikey:
I thought there's two types of rack excluding mk6.
How do I know the difference,  do both have the steering angle sensor in the rack or column?
What I mean is will the column clock part have any chance of fixing the light/fault if replaced pls?

Lightynolikey:
Still undergoing this nightmare. No pass ticket yet.
Anyone breaking a mk5 of any sort, what have you left?

Lightynolikey:
Any ideas how long the steering warning light will stay on yellow before it goes to red ( or deacon 3 as the moderator mentioned 🤔)

rxpx69:
Amber steering light should go out after 20-30 seconds, all the way left all the way right, steering wheel straight and drive a couple of meters in a straight line no more than 20MPH.
I had an issue when my ABS pump needed to be replaced the ESP light was stuck on amber yellow and after disconnecting the battery no matter what I tried the amber steering light would not clear! Maybe the same is happening to you if the ESP light is stuck on?

On MK5 all racks are gen1 or 2 unless upgraded to MK6 and the steering angle sensor is behind the steering wheel and have 4 bolts attaching the steering rack to the subframe, in gen 3 the steering racks steering angle sensor is in the rack and has only 3 bolts holding it to the subframe.
