Title: Steering wheel symbol on dash
Post by: richtung on August 06, 2012, 07:40:33 pm

Evening folks,

Noticed this morning that a red steering wheel symbol / light appears when i turn the ignition on. This disappears along with the various other symbols after a few seconds.

The only thing that is different is that i get a service reminder in x days or x miles. This reminder has only appeared in the last day or so.... is that what the steering wheel symbol is?

Thanks

Rich

No that's normal. The time to worry is when it doesn't go out :happy2:

As said, be worried if amber or red AND stays on, usually means a new steering rack, that is not cheap believe me!!
