Steering wheel light on/power steering very stiff on 9n3
polomarco posted a topic in ICE, Electrical and Lighting
Polo 2008 1.2 BZG engine code has recently developed an intermittent fault with the power steering and the warning light. The battery was recently changed which did the trick, but has now come back on. AA told me the alternator was working fine... Any info would be appreciated, thanks. -
Hi all, I had some issues with the PAS on my Polo end of last year, thread here: So, I found some pipes and had them fitted along with a new pump, which turned out to be faulty. Garage said to put the original pump back on, which they did. I was told by the chap who worked there that the pump, although run dry, was actually OK, so off I went. Then, over a few weeks the whining got worse and worse, so back to the garage I went! They fitted a pump they supplied and let me pick the car back up again, and again, by the time I got home, the noise was horrendous! Took it bac

Good evening gents, This is morning I jumped in my 2008 polo gti 1.8t 9n3 to take it down for a valet! A few miles from home my dashboard just lit up warning lights flashing everywhere and bleeping. I’ve checked the battery which was 12.8v without engine running, new quality battery was fitted 2 years ago. But it has started and stopped a lot today. With engine running it was 14.4v so I think battery and alternator is ok. Doing more random checks it seems to happen when turning the steering wheel. I have uploaded a video to YouTube. Has anyone seen anything similar?

6N1 steering column moves in and out
AkosSpekker posted a topic in Wheels, Tyres, Suspension and Brakes
Hello everyone! I noticed that my steering column moces in and out about an inch, or maybe two. What could be the problem? Thank you in advance! -
My Mk2f used to suffer from some pretty 'fun' torque steer - caused, I assumed, by the fact that one TCA-ARB bush was all but disintegrated and the other a totally different shape/make. After replacing the TCAs and ARB and getting the tracking done the front end feels great but on the first motorway drive today its evident the torque steer is not only back but different and in the opposite direction! On hard acceleration or deceleration (I assume shifting enough of the car's weight around) the steering bias feels to swap sides - it almost feels like one wheel shifts ahe

G40 Play in steering column (MOT fail)
lectrotek posted a topic in Wheels, Tyres, Suspension and Brakes
Hi all, My G has failed on a whole load of things this year. One of these is the steering. Garage thinks it's best to locate another in a scrappie. Are the columns the same in all mk2/mk2fs? Are they fairly simple to whip out? Thanks for your help guys. -
Hi all, Inner track rod ends are both knackered leading to horrible floaty steering that feels like the cars sliding around. Do I just replace them like any other car ?(with the very long socket type removal tool) The Haynes manual details outer tie rod but says nothing about the inner part? thanks

I've got a Momo steering wheel I'd like to fit to my '93 MK2F CL Coupe but I've been having trouble sourcing the correct size of adapter hub. I've had two attempts at purchasing a Momo hub from a supplier and on both occasions I've been sent hubs that are specified as suiting the Polo (as well as other VW models). However the hubs had a 17mm (approx) spline while the steering column spline on my Polo is 26mm. The supplier has suggested I have a non-standard steering column, but as far as I can tell it appears to be the original factory-fitted steering column/wheel assembly. Frustratingly neith

6n2 clock spring, steering squeak, lube?
cosaw posted a topic in Wheels, Tyres, Suspension and Brakes
Hello all, Main question: What type of grease for steering clock spring? Does it need to be conductive? Is there such a thing? Seem to remember the contact area is on the indicator stalk side somewhere? Had clock spring replaced many years back. Getting a slight squeak from somewhere on steering so want to catch it with some lubrication if that's all it needs. Rather than take the steering off unnecessarily I was gonna just put some grease in the gap with a toothpick and see if that does the trick. Many thanks in advance, Simon -
As post title. Except this isnt outside the car. The sound is coming from ehat sound likr where the steering wheel meets the indicator cluster bit. Its not that offensive a noise. Just sounds like if you rub plastic together. Its judt randomly started today and i cant find the cause. Driving me ape!!! Anyone shed some light on this? Cheers

Hi, I've got the amber steering warning light and intermittent power steering so I opted to change the pump but could only get an a2 pump. Having fitted this pump the power steering appears to be working OK but the warning light is still lit. Could it be that the ECU detects that the pump was originally on an Audi and flag it as an error / fault? Thanks in advance for any help.

Now that I have the engine out, the steering rack rubber bellows is in two pieces. Is it possible to replace it?
