Hi everyone,

Well, here's one to make my "dashboard reflection" problem look a bit tame.

Working late tonight, gets in, only to have TCS and Tyre Pressure warning lights on and they won't go away, no matter what combination of "ignition on / ignition off", press TCS or Tyre Pressure reset I tried.

Oh, and no power steering at all ie undriveable.

Fortunately, I had the Skoda Assist info in the glovebox and give them credit, they had an RAC van / man there in what, 45 mins?

He then also spotted that the Power Steering warning light was on.

He tried the basic resets (including disconnect battery), but no joy and we agreed there was no point in trying again / moving until the morning.

While I was back onto Skoda Assist, he ran some diagnostics and came up with "Steering Angle Sensor "(or something similar).)

Again, credit to Skoda Assist, they sorted me a taxi back.

From a quick search on the whole site, this seems to come up a lot on Fabia, occasionally on Octavia, but certainly nothing under Superb II.

At 870 miles on the clock, this is an honour that I can seriously do without !!

Further inspection / collection booked for mid-morning tomorrow (Weds) - I'll keep you posted.

(Incidentally, I had the problem very briefly last week, but aforesaid on / off / reset etc seemed to clear - I put it down to Tyre Pressure warning because of not checking pressures since delivery, WRONG, I think.)

But here's the big question.

While I can accept it as the proverbial "one of those things", (though the dealer will be getting an earful in the morning), any suggestions on my wife's immediate reaction of "no confidence, get rid".

Normal fix for the power steering light is to start the engine and then turn the steering wheel from one full lock to the other.

It might be just one failed individual component out of thousands that a whole car is made up from, so I think getting rid-of over this, would be a bit of a knee jerk reaction would it not?

Dave his mrs wants to get rid, not him...

Maybe you could try the "it was my fault dear. I pressed a button which shows the warning lights as a deterrent"

Might work, or get you a week off marital duties...
