Hi all,
Since I've had my GTI the past three months the steering wheel pushes back when at say the 2 or 3 o clock position left or right, it most noticeable on roundabouts. I brought it to VW for inspection & they said they didn't notice anything on the drive, & no fault codes showed up, they suggested replacing the steering rack (2200 euro) so that not happening ha! I got quotes for second hand steering racks from breakers of 80-120, I've never done one but I'm sure there's a video online (one of the best things about having a mk5 there's a video for everything) but you never really know your getting, my cars has 88k miles so a lot lower than most that have been scrapped
Has anyone else had this issue before, could it be the steering wheel position sensor? or is it most likely the rack? It really takes from enjoying the feel of the car through a bend.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
