yesterday after leaving work the roads were a little wet and thought id give my vr berlina (v8) a hit around the corner... sweet... stept out to pretty much full lock then bought it back no worries. went around the next corner to have no power steering what so ever???
i pulled over and checked i hadnt snapped a belt or blowin a hose, both belts and hose's were all fine, checked the fluid level and it was full.. thought it could have been a fuse but couldnt find 1, and pretty sure there isnt one for the power steering on my model.
now im stuck for ideas.... i have been driving around with no power steering for a day now and my arms are getting huge. haha..
im now starting to think it could be the power steering pump SHAFT that has broken or maybe something in the steering rack...
when it happened the car was still warming up so not sure if that would of made matter worse with the fluid been thicker maybe?
any help would be much appreciated, as im unsure wether to start with a new pump or not???
also driving around without power steering can this cause more problems???
