Golf/GTI VI :: 2008 - Steering Wheel Wrong Top View Angle
Dec 2, 2010
I have a weird question about the nice gti steering wheel. I noticed it some times ago on my old 2008 rabbit too and didnt really cared much when I saw that on the steering wheel of the 2010 gti. Did you noticed that the SW angle isnt good from a top view, I means, when u look at it carefully, did you noticed that the SW is more prononced to the right side, it easier to notice it when u look from a top perspective view of the SW. When u use 2-hands on the SW, u can notice that your left-hand is closer of you that the right-hand. Why Volks designed it like that way?

So the saga of getting my 2006 Phaeton fixed after an interaction with a deer continues ..... The car has been put back together and fixed, but now there is a new warning light linked to the steering wheel angle sensor.

Was wondering if there is a way to adjust the view angle of the back-up camera? Mine appears to be a little off center.

2012 GTI. DSG My airbag was blows, so I replaced it. Now im getting the following code.
18036 - Powertrain Data Bus
P1628 - 000 - Missing Message from Steering Angle Sensor
Can the sensor go bad after the airbag was blown? All the steering wheel controls still work.

2008 R32 with 17k ... What might be causing this sound which is just a faint clicking clicking sound that happens intermittently when driving.
I have an appointment at VW dealer tomorrow but they do not want to take ownership as I have replaced the head unit and have steering wheel controls for my Alpine IVA 505.
It is not electronic as the controls are solid state and the can bus adapter is behind the head unit. It seems mechanical but what could it be? I definitely notice that at a stop when rocking the brake that create the start of the clicking sound .

Just replaced the steering angle sensor on my Passat. Had a persistent fault that was causing a parking break warning light. I took pictures as I was putting it back together. [URL] .....

I just had my Prius C in Alignment shop, and after alignment was done I got ABS light ON. We checked it and it says Steering Rack Angle Fault.

I know it's on the steering column but is it down near the floor or on the engine compartment side?

I'm having a very slight noise whenever I turn the wheel at a certain angle. If I turn more, it goes away.
What could be causing this? Car has 60k miles and on stock suspension.

I have a fault wit the steering angle sensor, fault code c1231, I have replaced it twice now, the fault would go after installing recon steering angle sensor but would come back again after, not sure what the problem is, looks like they become faulty and dead.

I have an 08' Touareg and for the life me could not figure out how to get the headlight units out for bulb replacement. I have racked my brain with the instructions that are found on CT, Vortex and wiki. (could not find pictures on what tool everyone is talking about and or where the release nut or screw is.
There is a hex socket located on the light unit but after a lot of turning I found it adjusted my High beam.
They just did not make sense for what I had found under the hood. My tool kit in the back does not have a tool that fits anything remotely on the headlight unit. I also tried removing the air filter housing to get to the back of the light and had no luck without breaking something.
After all turning , twisting, moving and adjusting. I decided to go the route of the wheel well for the passenger side. less than 15 minutes, 4 screws and a retaining nut and I was in with all access to the back of the light unit, changed the lamp and closed it up. As for the drivers side less than 5 minutes and it is all done.
I installed Silverstar Ultra and like how much more light is distributed directly in front of the car. The one lamp that indicated I needed to change (yellowish color compared to the other) actually had a bubble in the side of it as if it was almost melted through.
If there are pictures of how to get the unit out on the 08' I would love to see them, the tool, where and how it gets released.

I put in a new sensor to stop the problem but now I have the code 00778 which is steering angle sensor and then says 005 no or incorrect basic settings/adaption. I went through the Ross-Tech site to reset the code in group 60 and activate the basic settings, but I am then told that group 060 is not available. I have tried to set the steering wheel angle straight but the angle still says its at 349.47*. My car is a 2004 Jetta GLI 1.8T.

My friend was looking at my tires earlier today and noticed that my brake pads were wearing at an angle. He was also shocked to learn that these pads have only 6,000 miles on them. We looked at the old front brake pads my mechanic replaced and they are not showing any wear like the current pads.
Below is the old pad that came off the car after 30,000 miles:
This is the pad my mechanic installed on my car, after only 6,000 miles
He also noticed some odd wear on the rotor - evidenced by the vertical lines across it's radius. He thinks it may be related to the problem with the pad. He also recommended a different mechanic... Is this wear considered normal? We looked online and some people reported similar wear, but nothing we found was as extreme as this.

I have a bad wheel bearing but on the highway my steering wheel shakes. It is only on the highway not down residential streets. I'm pretty sure it is the driver's side wheel bearing. I already balanced my wheels and everything.

Noisy steering wheel. It doesn't matter where I position the wheel, I'm hearing clatter when going over bumps or when putting pressure on the wheel. It has no effect on steering. I think it's coming from somewhere inside the adjustment mechanism. I figure the dealer will need to take a look.

My R32 which has around 45k was running fine until I went to leave work. As soon as I got in and went to back up I noticed, I had a red steering wheel warning light lit and I had no power steering. It ran fine at lunch and had been sitting for several hours at this point.
I only have two other known issues with my car. One the starter motor is squealing and has been for a while. When the dealer looked at it, he said it would probably fail one day, but it wasn't something I needed to take care of now. I have yet to have a single issue actually starting the car. I figured I would hold off until I found a local mechanic I liked since it was out of warranty. The other issue is during two especially hot days my fuel gauge fluctuated and I would get the low fuel warning even though I had more than half a tank. They also looked at that and said it was just the sending unit which failed to respond several times during their tests. It hasn't happened since but it was on the to do list.
Is it common for the power steering to just fail like that? I have read that a low or dying battery will give off weird electrical errors so I am hoping it might be something simple like that or possibly a fuse which I couldn't check tonight.
If it is not something simple like that, what I might be looking at as far as fixing it goes? Of course it had to happen on a Thursday night so I don't even know if I will be able to find somewhere to look at it and I don't have a scanner. Also without power steering I don't really trust trying to drive it anywhere.

What could be the issue with my Camry. Basically when I drive up a ramp with a decent amount of incline and going at an angle, I hear a knocking sound from what seems to be the frame of the car somewhere and I can tell because the interior upholstery makes a sound as if it were shifting. In other words, the sound I heard from the upholstery is the same sound you would hear if you were trying to separate two objects glued together.

Recently purchased this SAAB with 50,000 miles. Can feel a knocking in the steering wheel. The knocks transmitted through the steering column do not seem to be related to the suspension nor conditions of the road surface (irregularities, pot holes, etc.). The dealer (Volvo and SAAB) -- highly recommended -- replaced the left and right front stabilizer links/bushings and the right hydraulic transmission mount. This has reduced the incidence of the knocking, but not eliminated it completely. Have yet to raise with the shop the knocking still continues. What was fixed to eliminate the knocking.

I was running some logs to put into virtual dyno and I noticed that on all three the throttle value angle drops down to 33.7% between 3280 to 3380 rpm. Then above 6000 rpm it start to drop from 99% down to 91%. Even though the accel pedal pos is reading at 99.6. Is this normal??
For these I only logged 054, 115 and 031.
