    Intermittent power steering amber light

    So I'm revisiting an old post since my power steering light has come on again! It hasn't come on since June, since Audi reset the faults. i never did get round to checking the wiring or connections. How easy is it to check, would i need to remove anything to check it out?? Thanks

    Intermittent power steering amber light

    So i'm taking my car to Arnold Clark on Monday. I've got their autocare for a year, still covered until august. Not convinced that they'll actually honor it. It covers mechanical power steering but not electric power steering! Good chance they're going to screw me over!

    Intermittent power steering amber light

    I tried reseting the fault codes while the the power steering light was off but they wouldn't clear. If it was a wiring issue surely the faults would clear?
