Steering column lock failure

[jollymisfit]

This is now a safety recall in the US, which confirms to me that this is a common fault and will eventually happen if you own a B6.

Can everyone please call VW 0800 333 666 and express thier safety concerns. They are aware but they are not currently recalling in UK. They will only address this here if more people complain like they did in the US. Ive read a few articles where the electronic steering lock has activated while driving.
