2019 Golf R. Steering lock error required replacement steering column. Prevented car from turning on requiring dsg being manually placed in neutral and handbrake manual release on callipers. Absolutely fantastic fault that I hope isn't repeated in another couple of years!
Last week Replaced Steering Column. VW picked up parts cost as "goodwill" effort. My cost $493.50.
I had this happen over a year ago-under warranty luckily. Took 2 weeks and a VW engineer to fix. They replaced the steering column and shipped my old one back to Germany. The car would start and then immediately shut off and give me the steering lock malfunction error.
i put a MK4 column in my Caddy so it can be done that's not really the issue i have no idea though if the stalks will work out or not for you my consern would be the nuckle at the rack matching the column that was the one thing i had the biggest issue with in my swap and for the record the tilt is great on road trips tilt it all the way down and it's hella confortable way easier to relax the way it's set up now than befor
