    HELP - Indicators, wipers, horn, main beam, MFSW stopped working

    Stripped off the steering wheel and cowling. Checked the steering module and nothing seems loose Could it be that this second hand steering control module has reached the end of it's life? If so would there be other faults as the power steering is still working! Any advice on what to do now?

    HELP - Indicators, wipers, horn, main beam, MFSW stopped working

    Thanks both, Ill check them both but I have a feeling now that you (NHN) have mentioned that Steering Module that I had to tape it around the column when I installed it as one of the clips had broken so hopefully its just that and it has come loose. fingers crossed, Ill let you know, thanks again.

    How many miles is too many?

    I know that you can't compare an S3 to a 2005 TDI 2.0 Sport but mine is just about to turn onto 168,000 miles and is in outstanding condition. So far the only thing it has had over servicing is a new radiator and a new inlet manifold flap. As long as the car has been regularly serviced, the...
