Hi all,

wife was turning left out of a parking space when the PAS warning light came on and all power went from the steering. Recently replaced steering angle sensor to solve a flickering lights, intermittent power problem. Anybody ideas what could be causing the total power steering failure this time.:confused:

Also I recently sorted the common problem of leaking ancilliary carrier seals in the

rear doors. Attached are pics of the carrier. No doubt others will have the same problem.

The flickering lights wont be down to a sensor, its insufficient battery voltage, i'd get the battery checked over.

Lummox, good to see you're back.

The flickering external and dash lights, PASwarning light etc were due to a faulty PAS angle sensor which i replaced. Everything has worked fine since replacing the sensor.

My new problem is the total failing of the power steering. Is this the battery or perhaps steering pump related?

regards

Regarding PAS failure, this occurred to me a few weeks ago during a particularly cold spell (my car is always streetparked) - I mentioned this to my local dealer who thought it was undoubtedly caused by the PAS fluid 'freezing' (getting thicker). It certainly rectifed itself by midday when the temp has risen. As usual, however, the fact that PAS fluid shouldn't really freeze didn't seem to be an issue!

Hi Tonnior, is that an aftermarket central locking kit fitted, if so then have you a picture of the front door actuators fitted, i have fitted the rear ones fine but struggling to fit the front doors as it catches the door panel and is restricting the button at top to go up n down properly. Not actually wired to mains yet as i ahve to do the front doors fully.....

Cheers, Spevie

Spevie,

sorry, unsure if it's an aftermarket kit. It's not remote c/l. Haven't got pics of front door as only resealed back doors to fix leak problem. Maybe someone else on Briskoda might have pics you need.
