VW Polo Steering wheel warning lights went on last week, checked fluid level , seems a bit low and have topped it up, and lights still stay on, the steering seems working ok now but light remain on, the question is, if the steering pump is faulty then i will not get any power steering right? or can More

That depends on the type of oil warning light being displayed. There are 2 types of warning lights

1. Low oil pressure light which all cars have
2. low oil level light which some cars have.

Low OIL PRESSURE warning means the oil pressure is below minimum and when this happens there will be insufficient lubrication of many engine parts because sufficient oil cannot get to all parts of the engine it is required to lubricate. Until the cause is identified and rectified the warning light will remain. If you run your engine with low oil pressure you will cause expensive damage to internal engine components.

Low OIL LEVEL warning means the oil in the sump has dropped to a dangerously low level (which may be due to an oil leak or abnormal oil consumption by the engine.) This warning means the oil level needs to be topped up and the warning will stay displayed until you top up the oil. Running the engine with low oil will cause expensive engine damage.
Since it is a 2 minute job, Oil levels should be checked fortnightly as a minimum, together with radiator coolant and power steering fluid levels, if you run the car most days each week as most people do.

It is possible for a warning light to remain displayed when the cause has been dealt with because there is a problem with the sender unit. However it needs to be established with alternative checks that the problem has been fixed before investigating if there is a problem with the warning light itself.

I would have the power steering system tested, it is a possible steering rack issue.

Hi
If you have checked your brake fluid level is fine try pulling off the plug that goes to the lid of your brake fluid reservoir and plug it back in just to check for a bad earth as usually a faulty handbrake switch will make the handbrake light flash and beep as a safety warning to let you know you have left your handbrake on
I hope this helps Nick

That means you have problem in power steering module.Can be electrical, mechanical or low level of power fluid.Check the first the level.If low- check for leak.

Check the fluid level in the resevoir. If it is low then top it up. However, it went low for a reason - maybe it's just because your brake pads starting to wear out or you could possibly have a brake fluid leak.

If your in any doubt have a pro check it out.

Red this article:

Eventhough the level is right, the fluid might need replacing (every 3~5 years and 50.000-100.000 miles).

polo year 1995 6n 1300cc schocking effect while shifting schould i get big service or is the problem in the delco

you may have 2 problems 1 ightion switch and a seat belt pretensioner both faly common problems

Check brake fluid level and top up if required.
disconnecting ans connecting battery some times solves the problem.

Bought a very reputable diy service manual for the vehicle, and that plus a bit of thought and nous gave me the cure: no intrinsic problem other than loose relay connections. Went round with the wiring diagrams as guide checking all electrical connections in tight and relays fuses etc all good. Switched on and no problem any more.

By the way, vehicle is 1992 VW Polo - not Fox (which in UK is a variant of the Polo)
