I think you'll find the steering is electric, not hydraulic - hence no fluid.

cheers, would explain why i cannot find it.

It's in the battery.

The Fabia we used to own had electric steering with a steering fluid reservoir (partly hidden by the battery). So, is the Octavia different?

Traditional systems are purely hydraulic as in a pump connected to the engine via a belt provides hydraulic power to the rack.

Electrical systems can be electro-mechanical or electro-hydraulic, the latter replaces the belt powered pump with an electrical one.

Electro-mechanical systems are limited by the amount of current available from the electrical system as the motor directly drives the rack.

If there is no dipstick for the Octavia II then one must assume it is electro-mechanical.

well, I Own a Felicia 1996 gLxi, and I've been hopelessly looking for the same thing. :(

If out there is someone who can help me on this, I'll be very thankful

The system seems to be isolated from everything else in the car so I have no clue....

wheres the dipstick?

behind the steering wheel.

:sofahide:

To be fair I thought it was electrohydraulic and that there was a reservoir somewhere.

same reason i asked roo, every other car ive owned has had one apart from this one.

Yeah, it's electro-mechanical.

I'm wondering if it can be adjusted in VAG-COM. Someone posted noting not after MK2007. Which is a pain....

According to the manual it's electro- mechanical.

Look under the battery lol

There is a gearbox, starter motor wiring loom, not much else really.
