Looking for a bit of advice.

My 57 Passat 1.9d s 56k, has a starting problem.
It starts then after about 1 sec stops and a message comes up "Engine fault see workshop". It starts after re inserting the key. This has happened about 8 times over the last 30 starts. It first happened after a cold spell.

I don't have access to a full scan but have used a Autel VAG Maxscan to read the codes, they are:

05658 Can bus
05659 Can bus
05660 Can Bus
05661 Can Bus
05488 Can bus

02811-046 Control Module for Electronic Steering Column Lock J764

I have done a bit of research on this site and Martins so am aware that this is quite common on Passats.

Am I correct in thinking that it's most likely to be the Steering Lock at the bottom of the column?

If this is the case ,it's a main dealer only job and costs about £300.


Regards Andy

Cheapest option is to replace the two micro switches on the PCB at bottom of steering column
Would need steering column removal though. See my help .doc. PM me an e-mail address for
