Title: Steering wheel light
Post by: jason112 on July 30, 2020, 04:44:49 pm

Hi,  first time posting.

I bought my 06 gti recently and it had the steering wheel light on in yellow. I’ve read about how to remove it via turning the steering wheel left and right etc but when I tried this it didn’t work. Also, when I took it to a garage to plug it in to a computer to see if it was a fault there was none. The steering works fine too.

Does anybody know why it’s there and how I can remove it? 

Thanks

Is it that your power steering fluid is low?
