Hi Guys, I am new here and hope you guys can help, I'me the proud owner of a 2013 montecarlo 1.6 d for a few years now had no problems but power steering has packed in :-/ I've read on here similar issues but after this research I'me still stuck in need of help: Symptoms: -last 6 months intermittent working/not working , instant cut off with yellow warning wheel displayed on dash, no funny noises or groans etc..sometimes first thing on a morning would not work then after a few miles would work? -last few months stopped working altogether with yellow warning wheel displayed on dash Car will now fail mot Skoda garage plugged in computer and advised I need a new electric power steering pump and servo pump cable set repair kit quoted at £1386, I said I would leave it for now but still got charged £96 for them to tell me my power steering did not work which I knew! So: I bought a second hand pump of the bay and fitted it, the old one when I turned it upside down drained water out from electric plug in points?! -second hand replacement still does not work and I still have dash warning light... bugger? -I have not replaced the cable set ... -I have checked battery volts on tickover 13.87v - all OK with battery and alternator.. -Checked the fuses advised on this forum under steering wheel and on battery all OK.. -now at a loss as to problem.. -Can I bench test second hand pump I've bought to make sure its not a dud? Anything else to check I've missed? Any help greatly received Marcus
