polo 9n3 1.4tdi power steering failure

Post by bmx421 »

Hi all,

my power steering randomly cut out (luckily while just pulling up next to my house)

no dash warning lights
no fault codes when scanned
fuses are okay
battery running at 12.2v when off
battery running at 14v when running
fluid level is good
no leaks

does anyone have any suggestions?
also does anyone know if it is possible to test the power steering pump if I take it off the car?

If you have VCDS i can help you diagnose if the pump is dead.
