Hi there Techie1!. Thanks for the article. I started a thread about this problem but this looks a great place to start. I am having problems with my Fabia power steering and my car battery died on Saturday! So there may be a link. Can you possibly advise how to find out what battery we should put in as I have never done this. Thanks!

Hi there, Thanks for your response . Sorry for the delay in replying (I look after two kids under the age of three full time!). You may well be onto something. My car battery died last Saturday. We tried recharging it (removing it from the car and charging it from the mains) but the light still comes on and the steering is heavy. So we can try to change the car battery first I guess. Someone else has suggested that it may well be a problem with the power steering fluid. Does that sound likely? Liz

Hi there, I am new to this webpage so appreciate any advice! I own a Skoda Favba 8V 1.4cc five door hatchback (year 2000). To date its been a great runnner and highly reliable. Unfortunetely the warning light for the power steering has come on and the steering itself feels very heavy! Has anybody else experienced this? Many thanks!
