Drive your car and do a full lock to lock turn, that should re calibrate it, nothing to worry about

 

[sanpat]

Been doing that last few days over and over and over again. No joy

Do I need to get a new sensor?

 

[nluk100]

Did you try and delete the error code in vcds?

Seems odd that changing your battery cause this issue?

 

[sanpat]

Above 2 faults will not go away

 

[Orange225]

Ah ok, maybe a full reset is needed then, I took mine to a vag specialist and he reset it all, cost me £20

 

[sanpat]

I have already tried deleting codes but keep comming back. Full reset? How would you do this even if VAG specialist

 

[LEE69]

Remove the two battery cables and short them together with a spanner, away from the battery itself.Should work then after reconnecting the battery

 

[sanpat]

Tried this just now and even disconnected for good 30 min before connecting but still not working

Any other suggestions greatly appreciated

That's the sort of thing the diagnostic fella did for me

@LEE69 went for a drive as well
@Orange225 thats procedure I did followed that guide exactly before posting here

Trying to put basic settings on lost power to steering- before that just had the dashboard lights

May need new sensor ?

Anyone know a good vag specialist in south?
