A friend of mine has asked me if I know what would cause a problem with the indicators in his car. Its an x reg Leon.

He said the indicators started to go funning timing and have now stopped altogether (along with the hazards). He had a garage have a quick look and they said it wasn't a fuse. Any ideas what it might be??

I had a similar problem in my A3 at the weekend, when I moved the stalk they came on but didn't flash.

Scouring the internet it seems that the hazard relay, a part that seems to be common to many VAG cars can fail. However it appears, in my case, that it hadn't failed.

I removed the trim, removed the hazard light relay and then refitted it, so far it's been fine, so I suspect a loose connection, you might be lucky and have the same.

As the Leon is a close relative of the A3/Golf then, with luck, you'll have an equally easy job to remove and fit a new relay. They're available from Euro Car Parts for around £30.
