02 2.0HDi Steering Column Switches Indicators, wip - steve is trying
Hi,
I am sitting here with a knackered steering colunm switch which incorporates the lights, indicators fog lights on one side and the wipers on the other with the Radio controls being removable.
The indicator side is the part that is defective and is non-removable. The local pug dealer has told me that I can fit a new one myself but will then have to take it to the dealership to be reprogrammed. Can anyone out there enlighten me on this please as I am waiting for GSF to deliver a new one which was ordered this morning!
Many thanks in anticipation.
All the best Steve

You only need to get it programmed if the car has traction control. Otherwise just stick the new one in. Failure of this unit (COMS 2000) is well known - but the replacements are better than the originals - if this has not been changed so far, it is doing well!

Thanks RichardW.
The new one is now in and working fine. The Pug dealership obviously omitted that it didnot need reprogramming if it wasn't traction controlled!
I had to re-assossiate the key to get the central locking to work again by turning the ignition on, pressing the lock button for ten seconds, turning it off then removing the key. Wait for five seconds then it worked again.
This information is for anybody else to try if their key stops working the central locking.
Thanks again RichardW
