| Re: ok, where's it hidden The Fabia we used to own had electric steering with a steering fluid reservoir (partly hidden by the battery). So, is the Octavia different? |

| Re: ok, where's it hidden Traditional systems are purely hydraulic as in a pump connected to the engine via a belt provides hydraulic power to the rack. Electrical systems can be electro-mechanical or electro-hydraulic, the latter replaces the belt powered pump with an electrical one. Electro-mechanical systems are limited by the amount of current available from the electrical system as the motor directly drives the rack. If there is no dipstick for the Octavia II then one must assume it is electro-mechanical.

|  Re: ok, where's it hidden well, I Own a Felicia 1996 gLxi, and I've been hopelessly looking for the same thing.  If out there is someone who can help me on this, I'll be very thankful The system seems to be isolated from everything else in the car so I have no clue.... Quote:

| Re: ok, where's it hidden wheres the dipstick? behind the steering wheel.   To be fair I thought it was electrohydraulic and that there was a reservoir somewhere.
