| Re: power steering problem? If they are electrically assisted maybe a switch has gone, or doesn't catch as soon as it should. Could just be a loose switch. Sorry I'm not more helpful.

| Re: power steering problem? it is a fabia 1.4 8v comfort 2001 there is no warning indicator light showing but it says in the manual that if the power steering fluid was low that there would be no warning light for that.

| Re: power steering problem? is the power steering fluid under the battery and if so how do i check it? as i was told i should check it when the engine is running but i would not be able to do that because i would need to take the battery out the check the fluid!

| Re: power steering problem? You dont need the engine running. Remove the battery and tray and dip the level. A sensor and/or level fault may not bring on the light.
