Passat 140 tdi se estate 57 plate.
Have had the car from new with circa 70k on clock.
A couple of weeks ago I put the key in the dash and got warning bleeps with a yellow steering wheel symbol flashing. Took the key out and put it back in and all okay.
Checked the handbook and it warns of a fault with the electronic steering column lock.
Have not had any repeat warnings but a couple of days ago when I got in the car I was aware that the steering wheel lock felt more clunky than usual when the lock was released by inserting the key in the dash.
I have not tempted fate and have not put the steering lock on anymore when I park up.
As the flashing yellow symbol cleared straight away is it likely to be just one of those quirks or is there trouble in store?
