Hi and evening all,

 

The power steering on my sons 2010 Fabia  Greenline has stopped working completely resulting in very heavy steering...the garage has not been able to identify the problem...anybody got any suggestions..

 

thanks for reading,

Terry Smith

New electric steering pump / pack is my guess.

 

Any lights on the dash ?

 

Check fuse 16 in the interior fusebox (by drivers knee)

 

Also check engine bay fuses, these are the big ones ontop of the battery, fuse 6 is for the steering pump / control unit, these can develop small cracks and break the current flow to the steering unit. You cannot replace them individually, it

comes as a single part, but you can check visually and ideally with a meter that there is voltage either side of the fuse.

Thank you very much for the reply...I’ve passed it on to my son who hopefully will bring to the attention of the garage..👍

Also, many people overlook the obvious... Has the power steering fluid reservoir been checked for the correct fluid and correct level? It is underneath the battery so you may need to remove this, to check.
