What power steering problems can the 2012 Volkswagen Polo have?
Years 2009-2017

Answer

The problem with power steering is that it suddenly becomes hard and difficult to maneuver. Keep in mind that this issue can also be caused by tires that do not have the right pressure. Another cause can be the mechanisms of the steering box, which are not adequately lubricated. But there is a warning light that should signal this, also because it is a very expensive repair. Another culprit could be the serpentine belt, which is responsible for the proper functioning of the power steering.
