Hi everyone

I have read lots of threads about the power steering problems with the fabia.

Our 2000 plate 1.4 fabia has lost its power steering - it is definetly the pump that has gone.

My question is the P/n for the one in my car is 6QO 423155AE - having major difficulties sourcing one.

Can I use a pump with p/n 6QO 423155AJ

I know you cant use the three cylinder pumps but will this one work - was told AJ was for l/h drive car and wont fit but also told it will.

Am selling the car and dont want to pay 500-600 on a new one when we are selling up.

Any advice greattly appreciated

this has some power steering pumps, not for the part numbers you specify though.

you could also try GSF Car Parts, cheap car parts direct to you you may have to ring them up as they dont list many fabia parts

There is a "refurbisher" from the North East that also carrys fixed ECUs that sells electrio-hydraulic VAG steering pumps - he also sells on ebay but as usual not when you need one! do a search on the web for ECU and steering pump fixers/remanufacturers as they will be a lot cheaper than a new pump - I think that there were two manufactures of these items and "the lot" needs to be sourced from one or the other, I think that VW tended to use TRV whereas Skoda started with ? and moved to TRV.
