General Car Chat / Re: Orange Power Steering Light on !!! MOT Failure ????????????
« on: 28 March 2015, 19:22:03 »Yes, it will pass MOT, no problems....
You can even have the EML on and it will still pass....as long as emissions are ok
Cheers for that that would pass MOT. I was concerned so pressure off a little not to change immediately.
Emissions OK, but will give it an Italian Tune up on the way to MOT
Fingers crossed motor not fail in the meantime

« on: 28 March 2015, 16:27:51 »Read the fault codes, this is nearly always caused by water ingress in the steering angle sensor, a 5 minute job
Is the Steering angle sensor in steering column ??
It's in the rack usually where the column joins it on most vw's
I shall try to have a lookbut looks pretty inaccessible down there. Subframe needs to be lowered to remove rack.
Just crawled under there and NO CHANCE of access. Need to remove most the underneath (subframe and other major bits !!) to even get anywhere near the plugs and motor - can't even see them and I have a picture of a removed one to help !!!
And it started raining in me

Its been to a VW specialist and diagnosis is new rack.
Error is the " Steering Torque Sensor (G269): Implausible Signal" error
If was 5 min job they would have sorted (I would have hoped !!!
)
Assume that Orange light would fail MOT
? (Even though not red and steering OK at present !)

Sorry if this has been discussed before. 
Wife has Touran 2.0TDI. The Power Steering System warning light has come on. It is 'thankfully' Orange and not the Red colour it could be.
Orange indicates take care and get it looked at. Red suggests stop and don't drive.
I believe this is the early symptom as the dreaded Power Steering rack failure (as its electric assist)
Steering does not feel any different so the motor is working and not failed (yet)
MOT is due in a months time. As the orange light is now on, I ask myself will it pass the upcoming MOT ?

« on: 21 March 2015, 16:42:49 »I recall a post on here not so long ago with a link as where to get the anti rattle springs from.
I thought there were two different sizes depending on Caliper or Disc ?
I am sure somebody will provide divine guidance to the link shortly

Omega General Help / Re: Why do Omega door panels rust at their bottom rear corners?!
« on: 18 March 2015, 19:33:30 »If you keep the bottoms of the doors cleaned and polished then no reason to rust
Yep, bottom banana shaped rubber on door at bottom always seems to atract grit and dirt. Always keep clean and dry

« on: 18 March 2015, 19:18:56 »Crap maintenance
Crap in terms of what ?
Mine started to go on the usual spot and just under rear wheel arches and mine is maintained and looked after
(http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=129223.0) washed, dried and regularly autoglym'ed. Also kept in heated garage for last 7 years and I have had her form 6 months old Not sure what else there is to maintain on a door
Luck of the draw, or luck of the door I presume
(or perhaps too much cleaning !)
