The car feels fine driving, in sport mode it seems like there was nick every now and then.. I have wider front rims. 18x8

I could not delete the codes using a Autel scanner.. On your program (E-sys software) can I code out the steering rack? so I don't have to replace the steering rack? Or if I buy and used rack, can I "program" it to my car??

The scanner read :ESP control unit. Fault, rotor position sensor (steering angle index). belt jump detected.
I wouldn't drive with a broken steering rack.

For programming the control unit you need ISTA if you buy a used one you will need to program it but you need to know what you are doing

Funny thing I got mine replaced under warranty as there was a knocking sound when shuffling steering left and right quickly or sometimes over bumps
