My ayc sensor needs adjusting so at present my AYC amber warning light is on.
My MOT is up shortly.
Is it a fail?
thanks in advance
P.S Probably a stupid question but have pre MOT nerves.

Life moves pretty fast.
You don't stop and look around once in a while,
you could miss it.
no as the AYC is not required for an MOT , but I would remove the bulb as if the tester can not see it he can not fail it

Hmmm Not sure.. I know the AYC is not part of the MOT .. But i'm sure that there is something about all of the lights on the dash(that should do /hmmm ) should light up and extinguish at the correct intervals ?? But i maybe wrong..
But as John says.. Should be ok if you pull the bulb and they don't notice
Yeah pull the clocks out remembering where the ayc light is and pull that blub
Ok seems straight forward. I have never taken the dash appart before so could be interesting!! lolOriginally Posted by Nutter_John
This is a useful article to removing the dash surround: http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19553

Mine passed with the red AYC light on

Sit back and Chillax
You can always say (if questioned) that you have deactivated the AYC and resorting to using the rear diff as an open one instead? You would need to pull the AYC fuse to be sure though! Probably a bit too much, TBH - I doubt you'll get asked.
Cheers for all your input peeps
Didn't you have a switch off me a while ago???.............If so just unscrew the adjuster by a couple of turns. That'll get rid of the light.
Pass and advise at worst.
Cheers,
Ben.

Still not had time to come back to you guys and get the switch adjusted.
It was back in November wasn't it?

Ben's quite a way away from me and each time it's been setup perfectly then two days later the light pops back on. So I assume it's small adjustments now - hence not wanting to back it off all the way.
I think that made sense (it did in my head) lol
Damn it... is it beer o'clock yet?
