currently the steering doesn’t seem to be too bad, but that’s only after it had been sent back to him for the third time. It’s definitely no where near as bad as it was. It had been pulling hard to the left and I was needing to compensate quite a bit after the initial work was done. I have tried to recalibrate a couple of times, but it doesn’t seem to be doing the trick. pretty frustrating! I’d be tempted to have a look at the slimes myself to see if your theory is correct. to answer a previous Q. I am in the UK. 👌

Unfortunately He doesn’t seem to think it’s that simple. So far he’s just been talking about the age of the car and it’s mileage - “anything can go wrong”! 🤦🏻♂️ To make things worse I stupidly paid him when I first collected the car for the MOT - light came on again on way to the centre!

I had no issues at all prior to it being left in with him. He changed the tie rod ends of his own accord, I had only booked it in for a check over before the actual test date. He has had the car since Monday and is talking about it not being worth fixing at the minute. Only option he has given me is to tape the light and bring the car back for a full test at a different centre so they don’t clue in to the light being an issue.🤦🏻♂️ I doubt he is going to accept responsibility.

I had just left it in for an MOT check so no accidents prompted the repair. He replaced the tie rod ends as far as I know, which resulted in the light coming on right away. He told me it would go out itself after a few miles of driving. I drove it 40+ miles the next day, but felt that the steering pulling to one side. when I brought it back to him he told me the alignment was completely off. I suspect that the day of driving in between times has triggered the torque sensor, but I’m no expert.

Hi! Hoping someone can help me out with a steering light issue. My mechanic seems to have messed up the wheel alignment during a recent repair - this has in turn done something to flag the Steering Torque sensor. No matter what they do it doesn’t seem to fix the problem. I have had a traction control light coming on after about 10 minutes of driving, but the steering has never been an issue before. Some seem to be suggesting that they could be connected. My question really is, how difficult is it to replace said sensor? And if it’s not worth the effort stripping the column, does anyone have any other suggestions for fixing it. At present it seems like my mechanic is just trying to switch the light off or remap it to stay off. But that seems like a sticky plaster on a battlefield to me.

Pretty sure they are just standard bulbs. I haven’t had the car that long but haven’t noticed any damp. Its an 05 model with 250k on the clock so who knows what the CM looks like! Lol

Anyone ever find a resolution to this? I’ve the same problem only mine stays on for 4 seconds consistently.

Bit late to the game, but I was speaking to a guy yesterday that drove his to 380k!😳 I just paid £250 for a 2005 Ambient with 243k on the clock, only one register owner, guy had been clinging on to it for 17years!! body work isn’t spectacular with a few bumps here and there, but the interior is pretty amazing for the age of her! Still undecided as to what I should do with my Elegence estate (turbo went a few weeks ago and she only has 180k on the clock)!
