Sinan Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Hello, my wife has a VW Lupo, the power steering just died and it became really strong, also on the dash there is a yellow steering indicator now. I couldn't find any place to add steering fluid, can anyone tell me how to diagnose the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Hi and welcome to club lupo lots more details please. Which model? But chances are that the pipe crimp joining the rubber pipe to the steel pipe has corroded away and the car has dumped all the hydraulic fluid on the road. Your pump will be running without fluid, so no lube, which coukd destroy it. Don't use the car. Or could be the fuse to the electric power steering pump (if a different model). Pic of car?

weslangdon Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Take the old one off, quite a bit of work, but not technically difficult, take it to your local Pirtek for the broken or rusted bit to be cut out & have a join put in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
