| Fabia steering stiff As the title says, our lasses 2001 tdi estate steering has started to go stiff, this happens when you try and turn quickly from the straight ahead possition, this only happens for an instant, and then is ok. Any body got any ideas before i start to panic? cheers steve

| Re: Fabia steering stiff Mine's doing this, mostly after a severe limited slip diff thrashing around a corner. Have yet to vagcom the car to see if it's the steering angle sensor to blame. I fear I may need a new pump as mine's now 7+ years old.

| Re: Fabia steering stiff I've had that problem since the car was brand new, pump changed and everything. Kinda happens when you've made a continuous turn round a bend and then make a complete turn the opposite direction. Kinda scary when you're doin' 80km/h.
