......over  1000 miles  :surprised:

All of a sudden one day I set off to town and I thought.....the steering has gone real light!!!

Then on the drive to town it adapted properly the light went out and it felt great again  :happy2:

I wouldn't dare do the mk6 mod. The mk5 retrofit is hard work for me as it is

I'll continue driving the car for abit and hope it'll get sorted

Cheers bud

I have had to do it a couple of times lately, unless you rotated your slipring a few times when the wheel was off, there'll be no hardware issue.

I think I may have touched the touched the slip ring a couple of times. Would that mean I would have to take the steering wheel off again or will VCDS sort it  :sad1:

skard:
No this is normal for these lights to be on after a steering wheel removal. The slipring just needs to be calibrated.

So longas you never did more than two full revolutions either way of the slipring it will be ok.

Have a read of this, if after a few days it is still on the VCDS will get to it
