Dgw would it be a good idea to if I started a new thred with and put all the most important info into it about this issue with the images and advice?

Yes I saw it mention that it was for traction control models but they don't talk about the other version at all is there any were elese in the manual about it or is if an over sight on there frunt

yeah think so show d sensor behind the stearing wheel but no mention of one at the bottom of the stearing colum I'm hopeing to order the part on saterday so my plan is to use the chasey num and error code in skoda to try n be finely sure for give my confuseion I'm not great at this n just trying to be sure to be sure as we say in ireland

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=629228&id=1598163768 i got me self a hayens manual and this is what its telling me the sensor is

Ok after studying the diagrams a bit better I can tell it's the first type with the cabel adapter so I can guss that the too difrent brands of sensor are shown here would I be right in saying the best thing to do is to remove the sensor befor I go to buy the new to be sure to get the right one from skoda or will I be abell to tell buy looking for the brand on it when I take it out thanks

thanks so much I can't thank u enuff this is just what I needed thanks big time and I think this diagram will be a big help to others as well you d man you the man could you tell me a little about how to tell if it's fixed or adaptor or will this be obveus to the untrained eye once I get at it (I was under her today to check for damged and brecks in the witeing) I'll sit down and digest these diagrams at lenght now and get my head round it also is there a good resoruse to find diagrams like this or is it a brivlage of your profesion or some thing like that and thanks again so much

In that case could u state were the g250 is And how one is ment to tell wich system is on mine thanks

I'm geting conflickting info about were the stering angel sensor is some site say that pas sensor is at the end of the stearing colm and others say that the stearing angel sensor is just behind the stearing wheel can some give a definative answer as to wich is wich and were they are i have fault 0816 and have been told this is the power stearing angel sensor I don't want to get and or remove the wrong sensor as there seems to be some refer to the pas sensor and some to the stering angel sensor there 100 s of threads all over the net but none wrap this up can any one give a full and definative answer based on working on this 0816 fault

any one have any further info regarding this issue

doz any one else second that motion that if i run the car with no fuse in for the power steering that i may be putting strain on the pump and or other steering systems?

So no fuse bad idea so? if so damn ! Would it be better to disconnect the sensor as you said to put her into emergency mode instead?

i wonder then when im ordering if other than giving skoda my chasey number that i should give them any info i can on the new pump ie serial number or some thing like that so they can tell what pump it is and match the sensor to that and not just the car

ahhh it sinks in so its all one sensor and any thing short of bad connection means that the sensor is gone that make life so much more simple now im going to check it all over on Saturday and then if im sure its not just a bit of bad wiring ill order the sensor would any one have a good on-line resource to buy the for-mentioned sensor at a good rate it will cost me about 90€ in vat here in Dublin Ireland from Skoda.

thanks for the advice mate i drove my car home last night and back into work this morning about 40 miles with the fuse out and she runs much much better the engine ticks over better and the mpg is much better i averaged 52.7mpg on the trip apposed to yesterdays 23.9mpg so seems to be a lot better on the engine with out the pump draining power all the time. Im a big guy 17 stone 6 foot 4 and the power steering being off isn't relay causing me any issue and in fact when cornering at speed it is a lot nicer to feel the road and the angel of the car better. the only thing im worried about is weather this is placing any extra pressure on the pump or the steering rack or any thing like that if i drive it like this for a few weeks. Also if there are to sensors to the system one on the steering rack and the other at the pump whats the best way to figure out which one is gone. That being said the pump is new and was only fitter a few weeks ago before i bought the car so might this imply that its the sensor on the steering rack more likely

I removed the fuse to The power stearing pump fuse 5 and no mote flickering and every things seems better is it safe to drive with it out for a few day may be 2 weeks till I can get the dosh for the parts I need? Will I strain or damage any thing buy driveing it with out the fuse in at all for tow weeks And that being sead is it a good idea as the flickering and pump noise are getting worce and I'm conserend about the fault damageing the pump or other systems on the car
