CSG MK6 GTI from Singapore

[Subarsenal]

Hi to all,
I'm driving a MK6 GTI, been having it for close to 9 months and it has been the most enjoyable ride thus far; fun and engaging. However, the car has been bugged with a intermittent steering fault since Week 1. Not havingmuch luck in resolving it until a post in this forum revealed that a couple of guys may be having the same problem. So, hope to share some notes on the problems.

Cheers
Eric

Hi Eric,

Were you able to get to the bottom of this problem?
It seems like I'm having the same issue - The 'power steering', 'abs', 'esp', 'tyre pressure' amber warning lights show up along with a red 'brakes' light. All except the power steering switch off within a second or two while the power steering warning lasts another 5 seconds before turning off. It always happens when i'm travel at a steady speed in a straight line.

Arthur from Exoticars (100% recommend him to look after your VW by the way - the guy knows them like the back of his hand) was nice enough to run a vcds scan and only came up with tyre pressure warning. I've fixed the pressure in the tyres and reset the pressure guage but that hasn't helped the symptoms.

No noticeable changes to the performance of the car by the way when these lights pop up.

cheers,
