Skoda Fabia 2 1.4 Estate steering sensor?

[Mattylad]

Hi, I'm having issues with my power steering failing.

Before Xmas the steering sensor was cleaned and this bought the power steering back to life however this weekend it went again.

 

Is there a way to test the sensor?

Else can you reccomend where best (and cheapest) to get one and what the part code I need is please?

 

It's a Skoda Fabia 2 1.4 Estate 58 plate.

Thank you.

Nobody?

 

How can I tell which one it is?

heer https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/oen/6q0423445 lists several.

 

Looking underneath it looks like this:

 

With the connector like this:

 

So it's 3 pin and would appear to me that non of the ones on the linked page are the same as the connector on the sensor has a tab sticking out, I cannot see one on any of those?

Is there somewhere that will tell me exactly what the part number is from my reg?

 

Thank you.

I'm fairly sure all of those ones on that link are equivalent and all correct for your car.

7zap.com will tell you the relevant part number by navigating through to the correct diagram, but not by VIN input.

Thanks, although looking at 7zap I'm getting lost already trying the original catalogs I get stuck on the engine lol.

 

Although I think I found it, 6Q0423445 which googling seems to be it.

I can find a used one cheaply too.

 

Removing this thing, will steering fluid pour out or is it dry inside?

Dry in that bit.
