Steering rack amber light warning

<< < (2/3) > >>

ahhh, ok, well as the car is now 6 years old to the actual day, can i assume i won't have a leg to stand on at this point in time, ie. i will have to pay the full whack to get it replaced??

 :confused:

I looked into this a little while ago and I seem to remember there were some differences with steering racks depending on chassis number and that also a mod kit may be required.

You could ask the dealer to seek some goodwill from VW but given the age and that you've not kept up the full service history you might be disappointed.

Granted, i got my car serviced and MOT'd with Kwikfit a few weeks ago, as they were £100.00 cheaper and had done good work on tyres and brake pads, but then again ive just spent £412.00 with VW getting my front wheel bearings both replaced, so not as if they havent had their money from me this year. This is the 1st service ive missed with them, but i am now gutted, in the space of 5 weeks, i will end up spending more than £2500.00; i will have to look deeper into this, i am not giving up just yet. Should a £21k+ car thats done only 36k miles, need £2000 of work done on it in the space of 5 weeks, somthing just doesnt add up here!!  :confused:

Thanks anyway

Andrew

Thank you for your response, can i assume that you had this replaced through warranty? My car is 6 years old now, so i am assuming that VW will not do this foc!?  :scared:
