    Are you sure its not an EPC light that as come on? Either way its a trip to a mechanic with that light on. If it is EPS as you say at worst it may be a faulty Power Steering Unit or it may require a top up of fluid. Failing that it'll need to go onto the diagnostic machine to get to the bottom of it.
    In my experience it has popped on for a reason...

    I'd have to agree. And I'd be inclined to think that it's an EPC light too. I thought the if a power steering fault occurred that a light with a steering wheel symbol came on.........

    Are the brake lights stuck on? If they are it's prob the brake light switch, common problem with golf/a3.

    How to change it here

    Not trying to hijack thread but I have an A4 with the Airbag warning showing. I'll have this checked shortly as part of service but is there a known issue?

    true Neill, but its the brake warning light that shows not the EPS.
    In fact I had the brake switch problem within 4 months of purchasing my A4, been fine since(2 yrs later)
