How to Prevent or Fix the Steering Wheel Column Lock Actuator Issue on an Audi A6 / Q7 (DIY Repair)

Dear viewer,

In this video I am showing you how to repair or prevent the infamous steering lock issue that A6 C6 generation Audis have. The same steering lock module has also been used on Audi Q7 SUVs from the same generation and therefore, these are also prone to the same failure that is observed with the A6 C6. As the module is pretty much identical across the two vehicle models, the solution that I have presented in the video is also applicable for the Audi Q7.

There are several ways to deal with the steering lock issue, which I have listed and explain in the video. However, the manner I have chosen to prevent the steering lock problem from appearing on my personal vehicle was to simply disable the steering from locking itself. If it can't lock, then there is no way that module can fail in the locked position.

As usual, if you have any questions please post them in the comment section below and we will do our best to answer them. Don't forget to like the video if you found it helpful and subscribe if you would like to see more videos like this.
