The orange steering wheel light came on (looks like this O!) so I took it to the dealers to get it hooked up to the computer. The guy said that the steering wheel sensor has gone, whatever that is lol... and said its

Is the car still under warranty?

If so, yes you did get conned.

The sensor alone is over

PN: 6Q2 423 291A is for rhd chassis numbers:

yeah VRStu thats the one...

Just had mine replaced -

It may be Ebay but the seller is very trust worthy, I have bought lots from him.

awt41 : yeah, the light didnt come on all the time. 50/50 really.. but when it did, it was difficult to steer at low speeds, like you said. My car is a 51... was the design fault on these models or earlier?

VRStu : yeah, ive bought/sold loads of things on ebay.. i made a lot of money from selling motorbike decals that my work experience company gave me

Mine's also a 51, so not sure how long the problem lasted.

I've seen lots of posts on this forum from people with the same problem but they don't usually say how old the car is. It'd be interesting to know how long this fault existed before Skoda did something about it.

I wouldn't moan too much ... when this sensor died on my smart passion (stuupid name or what?) it cost over

No problems with the PAS sensor in my old 2001 Y-reg Fabia (and that was sold with 80k miles on it!)... had several other problems though
