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
