Re: Finally Solved!!!!! Steering lock error no start

Thank you everyone for this valuable information.
My car was also occasionally affected by this problem.
Whenever this typical clicking noise could not be heard after getting out.
The cause perhaps may not be the motor or a stiff worm gear, but in the black housing on the left of the circuit board in the photo above - probably a relay whose contact surfaces have burned out when overloaded.
I'm currently struggling to pass the 2 year tech test due to the rear brakes showing uneven partial ring wear which may be due to the handbrake cables being misadjusted if they don't have enough slack and the brake levers aren't far enough step back to reach the next notch when releasing.
As a result, the brake adjustment may not work properly.
But I still don't understand what causes this typical wearing pattern...
Does somebody has any idea?
A precautionary overhaul of the CVT gearbox, which was carried out just after 160,000km by a "specialist" for a lot of money - with an otherwise perfectly functioning gearbox, there was a ticking that got louder with increasing kilometers - went wrong a big bang:
Total loss just one day and 390km after the repair with a loud cracking noise in the gearbox.
I first had to fight with a lawyer for a proper invoice, then I was able to report the error, now probably for compensation for loss of use (approx. 2 months) and now the gearbox is leaking.
Poor Germany...
