Hello,
Is there anything I can do to make the steering any lighter? Also on full lock and the car is moving there is a strange hum coming through the steering wheel. Thanks |

The hum sounds like a power steering pump. But I believe that this model does not have power steering!

Check: Power Steering Fluid.... BELT (if this is slipping, steering
effort will increase)... I have a feeling that might be your problem. |

This is a U.S. group (the Polo is not available here unfortunately). You're welcome to post here, of course, but you may have better luck at uk.rec.cars.vw.watercooled Happy motoring! |
