Hi RACHEL
As far as I can recall, no other club members have reported this problem. The only way forward is to have a diagnostic scan done. If you live near a member with VagCom (see link), I'm sure they would be happy to help.

thanks, silly question but does the a2 have power steering fluid ?
Hi RACHEL
No, its not a silly question, and yes it does. Officially you need to remove the passenger side headlamp for access but its just possible to see the reservoir below the headlamp with the bonnet off - a torch will help. The reservoir is translucent and about 90mm dia with min and max marks about 25mm from the top.
I don't think it has a level sensor which is why a low fluid level would be unlikely to give the intermittent warning light problem - still worth checking though
Let us know how you get on

i need help once again ???????
hi
so sorry for the late reply,found the power steering fluid !
do you need to take the headlight out to fill it up ?
since my last post i have had more problems ;(
little hard to explain but after my steering wheel icon came on, it went off and then a few days later the engine light came on in orange ??????
now they have both gone off but i have been left with a funny noise coming from the passenger side of the engine ? its seems to make my water bubble a little, also when i am not moving with my engine on the lights/power seem dim and then go bright again and so on......
ive looked in my manual and it says the engine icon could be an electronic management system problem ?
ARGHHHHHH! can anyone help ?
