FromTheDarkness did you check the fault codes? I got the code: "01309 - Power Steering Control Module (J500): No Communication". This code can not be erased. I have looked at the cabling on the left side in the engine bay (under the ECU) and can't find any errors on the cabling. Is the power steering waste or is there anything else that can be checked?

dm222Did you get it open. At first i removed any silicone that loose and after that I just gave the round metallic case at the bottom a gentle punck with a rubber hammer/club.

Solved I know that you recommended to check the cabling but I felt that it was just a hassle and before I got to it a got a problem with dark left front light, glowing left turn signal and the speedometer was dead. I opened the big cabling to the left of the engine in the bottom of the engine bay and it was just a mess. The error was between the curve where the cabling rotate vertical and the engine bracket. I had to replace 5 cables that was rotten. I planned to add a picture but the forum won't let me :( Thanks very much for all you effort, much appreciated.

And everything connected!

I measured it at pin 23 behind the PCB with the car running, see post #5

Thanks, I'm impressed. Your sketch makes sense with my voltage readings, 11V with no warning and 13V with warning. I think it also implies that the soldering for the 750 Ohm resistor is correct, if they would be faulty the reading would be 0V and I also simply can’t find the resistor? Soldering around the IC and the 56K resistor is simply impossible so I’ll try to get my hands on a second hand. I’ll get back.

I removed the PCB tonight, I have 11V with no warning and 13V when the oil warning light comes on so it's unlikely with soldering errors and I can't find any errors with the soldering, didn't redo them yet because I'm waiting for a VCDS Cable from Ebay. I'll get back when i know more. My PCB doesn’t look as yours, I don’t' have the resistors you are mentioning.

It's a 2001. Engine code is AUA, sorry, i forgot. There is an error when the gauges go crazy, flashing lights and meters turning described in this forum in several posts but I don't have that error.

Yes, the old subject is not closed. Spent hours on this great forum without any success. Been running a Fabia 16v, 22000km on the gauge, with the warning since May so i sincerely doubt any errors on oil pump or actual oil pressure. I have that same symptoms as everybody else. The warning started intermittent but is now warning every time when revving above 1500 as it should according to mechanics handbook, http://workshop-manuals.com/skoda/fabia-mk1. I have tried the following without getting the f*** warning to end. The buzzer drives me crazy :'( Oil level is spot on the marking Change oil Change oil pressure switch (sensor) I have 12V on the cable next to the sensor Shortcut the sensor cable directly to Earth No error codes recorded, checked with http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skoda-Fabia-Octavia-Superb-VAG-CAN-BUS-Fault-Code-Reader-Scanner-diagnostic-tool-/221071868904 As far as I can tell is there only one oil pressure switch on this model? Must be something with the electronics but I don't have the common error with the gauges and I gave it a look and nothing looks corroded or loose but it's kind of hard to visually check the gauges. Can anyone give advice, please?

Turn it 10 times max left and right, start Engine and do the same. Fill up fluid as you go.

SOLVED Thanks for this extremely useful forum since we all own a crappy car I've had the same problem as you all. The warning light started to light up occasinally and after some time is was permanent and the steering became wery Heavy, no PAS at all. The steering angle sensor was not the problem, ni flickering lights. This was replaced earlier with and the car har all the symptoms. Anyhow it was checked again without any problem. I dismantle the PAS pump (I can sincerely recommend to do this via left front wheel, the connectors are a hassle but you will end up breaking some of the plastic fasteners for the front bumper and this do not improve your car's look.) and stripped the Electronics open. Could not find any obvious error. I had the pump open for a day or something, trying to overcome my emotions about spending 350 EUR for this **** car valid 500. I then pulled myself together and mounted the pump to try it out again and, voila, it worked The silicone, sealing the Electronics was not perfect and i guess the electrics got damp/wet and drying it out did the wonder.
