Thanks, interesting. I've had a quote for a genuine VW replacement steering rack from my local garage and they have quoted about £860, less if the job is quicker than they think. Quite a difference from the main dealer price! The price for the rack is about what you said, £541, not sure if that ...

Thanks for that info RUM4MO. I've asked our local garage who services my VW for a quote for a replacement steering rack. They quoted for a non VW part so I've asked them to quote for an original part which a friend believes is a TRW too. I could ask the garage to see if they can source a TRW ...

Today I took the car to a VW dealer and paid them £144 for a diagnostic on the steering. Apparently it needs a new steering rack and is too dangerous to drive! At a cost of £1300 I am shocked that a steering rack should wear out on a 6/7 year old car. I've driven nothing but VW's over the last 30 ...

@RUM4MO I tried the steering wheel test and it was pretty even. The movement of the steering wheel when the car is stationary seems to have stopped now. Perhaps the fault has moved on a bit.

This is my daughters car and I hadn't driven it until today. She's away for a few weeks and I'm trying to ...

Thank you. Yes, I read that bit a few times but guessed what you meant. I haven't driven the car yet to try it but will in the next couple of days.

Thank you for that info RUM4MO, I'll give that a try and let you know what happens.

@joe6 No, we haven't solved the problem, you can drive it but it's not ideal. It hasn't got any worse of any better. We're just about to take it to another garage where the mechanic has been highly recommended. Other than that it's going to have to go to the VW Dealer but that is going to be ...

Thanks joe6 for your reply. Apparently there are no error codes and the car was retracked after the initial repair and we had the second garage check it and they confirmed it was ok.

Second garage thinks it could be the PAS pump and the guy who did the inspection, when we bought it, thinks it ...

Hi
I wondered if anyone else has had this problem with a 2010 1.6 TDI and if they found a solution?

The steering pulls sharply left and right particularly when going round bends and much worse at speed. Also if you move the steering wheel when the car is stationary, it moves back on it's own!

I ...
