    Hi

    Having driven the car for 2yrs now with the light on its now time to NCT it again. I got it diagnosed at the time as the steering torque sensor. The problem is to fix it properly I'd need to get a new rack (thanks VW after sales! :-)) which I don't intend doing anytime soon for a stupid sensor as the car is driving fine.

    So my question is will the car automatically fail the NCT with this light on? There seems to be some ambiguity surrounding dash lights and NCT failures. I know airbag and braking system lights are a failure but not sure about this scenario.

    Thanks
    Jhet

    Cheers bud. I remember I tried that at the time. Got a guy to clear the fault but it came on a couple of hundred yards down the road so i don't think that will work for me barring I managed to borrow a vagcom unit and bring it to the NCT centre with me :D

    I clear lights outside test centres all the time. What part of the country are you in ?

    no that wont fail unless its affecting the steering physically. only a matter of time id say before faults on electric power steering become a fail tho, imo.

    Cheers lads. I'm based in Leopardstown area incidentally.

    Thanks "NCT tester" that gives me some piece of mind. I'm just going to put her through in that case and see what happens! :)
    Not affecting the steering in any way shape or form, car still drives same as the day I bought it so I think it still should be good.
