Power steering

Featured Replies

Hi and thanks for letting me join this group. I have a 1999 1.4 polo mark 3 I think. It has been with three generations of my family and still has only 38k miles on the clock.
The power steering reservoir has been emptying despite putting in 2 bottles of the Lucas Stop Leak. When my garage looked at it they said the pipes were very corroded. Can anyone give me advice on how to get the correct parts to fix this as I really want to keep her going if at all possible.
Many thanks
Ian

Part numbers will be somewhere in the last three or four diagrams here: LLLParts

Pipes all look to be in the last diagram - LLLParts

If you need the other diagrams, you'll need to know your engine code to work out which diagram is most relevant out of the three that are entitled

"Steering gear
Track rod
for models with power
steering"

Thank you for that info. At least they’re available. Is the engine code the VPN number? 
Cheers

Engine code is a three letter code (in this case will start with an A) that will appear on the build sticker in the boot, possibly on a top cambelt cover sticker, or can be found via the VIN number (message me or post it here).

Yep, you have an APQ engine, so this is the diagram for the steering hardware LLLParts

As said though, all the hydraulic hosey bits are on the other linked one here.
