So last week the yellow steering wheel dashboard light came on . Stopped the car at home and it went away for a week . Then went out yellow light came on and 2 mins later red light steering wheel light and traction control light and low tire pressure all came on. The steering is now incredibly hard . Managed to borrow a cheap fault scanner and this is what's come up .

Ross-tech.com is the best place to check out any fault codes, that being said they don't have that much on this one.
This is for the golf, but also applies to all vag cars. I think if it was my car i'd take it to a VAG specialist who have probably come across it before. It could be something as simple as a sensor or wiring, or could need a sterering rack.

This is a thread i found with your issues, that one needed a new rack, but may not be the same for yours

My old Ibiza did this. Previous owner spent a fortune replacing things, but never got it right.

I bought it, stuck a new battery on and fixed everything.
