Hi everyone - hopefully someone here is able to help.
The ESP light came on some time ago on my car but the first garage said it was a recall so we planned on booking it in before the MOT, Volkswagen wanted nothing to do with it so it essentially got picked up in the MOT, with the hope a local garage could fix it.
The has now failed the MOT due to the failure code:
00778 - Steering Angle Sensor (G85)
000 - -
Freeze Frame:
The mechanic at the garage quoted me the cost for one part, sorry I can't remember what it was, but that didn't fix it. He is now recommending a new angle sensor?
Something probably quite important but I guess the same rules apply, my car is an 05 golf plus - I need the part 1K095354BK but it's proving quite difficult to find, how about ordering a similar part?

It says they are compatible but I'm not sure I trust it...
I would really appreciate any help of experience with similar problems!
Thank you in advance
