    VW Polo 2002 power assist in steering suddenly failed

    Earlier this week I parked up my 23 year old Polo to find that that power assist had completely stopped with a warning on the dash indicating a problem. I checked the level of fluid in the tank and it looks normal. Then I tested the alternator and battery with a multimeter. Battery read 12.6...
