Power steering loss on mk5 1.9 tdi

Post by Tabiso »

Hi Guys, please give guidance on the below;

I have the above-mentioned vehicle from which a red steering sign on the dash is reflected with steering being hard to drive with. A local mechanic said I should refill power steering fluid as it is below minimum level.

My problem is that, I don’t know where the bottle or reservoir is located and he is out of the Country since our contact last week.

Can I be assisted on this?.

Mo5 is a fully electrical assisted power steering rack. No more pump or fluid. It could be a blown fuse( check on the hox next to the battery or it could be the motor on the rack that has packed up.
