I have a 2012 beetle that was running fine until I changed the battery. Now the power steering is 100% gone. It’s not even turning easier when I’m driving it. I can’t locate a power steering reservoir. I believe it’s electric not sure how that works but I’ve pulled every fuse in the car and can’t find of them blown. Any ideas?
Probably, best, to get the service manual;, to understand how the system works, move forward with diagnosis, testing and needed repairs. Diagnosis, any programming or reset procedures; may require a factory vw scan tool, like vcds by ross tech.
Check your pm's, thanks.
A quick check on youtube; indicates, that it us good to check the basics; confirm related fuses are good, be sure you are getting power to the steering system.
After power is restored or repairs done; a required reset; procedure, maybe next, to complete steering repairs.
