New GTI Owner... Little Help Please

(1/4) > >>

N!CK R:
Ok, so I've just got my GTI, loving the car, but I have a smallish (I hope) problem with it.

Firstly, when I turn the car on theres a yellow steering wheel icon lit up on the dash, and it doesnt ever go out. It was off last night for a short period of time, but this morning it came back on.
I've searched the forum but cant find much really, I know my best bet is to get it on a machine but I cant do that at the moment.

Anyone got any ideas of what it's likely to be?

Cheers
Nick

Could be you need to do a calibration on the steering angle sensor, you need to go from one full lock to the other and then drive in a straight line for a period.  Worthwhile doing a quick search on that to get the full detail.

Jack Frost:
I hope you don't have the same as I had mate.

As richn83 said might need to be calibrated but wierd that it goes out and then comes back on..... :confused: hope you get it sorted  :happy2:

N!CK R:
I'm hoping it just needs to be calibrated then, the steering wheel is slightly out when driving in a straight line.

Real hoping I don't have to replace the whole rack :/


Anyone in the Southampton area with Vag Com or something that will be able to read the code? Getting a bit worried about it now.

Cheers
Nick
