Still having problems coding module....
Itchy Foot over at AZ and I have tried again to do this. We think we have the right codes but when we go to do the steering angle sensor calibration, we either get an error or we get a negative value in the 900 range which keeps increasing as you turn the wheel either way. Sometimes the VAG displays 0 degrees and doesn't change when you turn the wheel. Then when you turn the engine off and back on, the ABS module resets back to zero. I was told that this was because the steering calibration needs to be done correctly in order for the module coding to stick. Is this correct?
Audi just quoted me 600 bucks for a new sensor so i was hoping that since we do get a reading, even though it is incorrect, the sensor is okay but needs to be re-positioned. Is this assumption valid?
Does anyone else have any insight into this problem?

The clock spring could be out of postion....
The above mentioned is definitely an opps. You probably need a new clock spring sensor, which is what they are probably replacing for $600.
The factory manual goes into all sorts of warnings to keep that sensor in the same position always or it can cause abs , airbag, cel issues.
If I'm pulling an airbag I usually scribe it to make sure it goes back in the same position, along with taping it so the internal ring does not move.

Anyone know where the Steering Angle Sensor location is? My ABS/ESP lights are on as a result of it.
