Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
I have a 2011 Octavia RS TDI 170 (CEGA engine code)
The car has been so far been faultless in my ownership but I now have a niggling electrical fault that I cannot seem to get to the bottom of.
While travelling at speed on a motorway a few weeks ago I noticed the power steering (electric on this vehicle) felt like it was failing, steering went heavy then light then heavy and light again a few times.
The following day I also noticed that when pulling up at lights the car was idling high at just over 1000rpm.
Over the last 4 weeks I've been more aware of this and it's completely random, often the car idles higher than normal and the fans in the engine bar are running full, when the car is like this (and only then) then I get the intermittent power steering issue.
If I turn off the engine and restart then it's fine for a short while but soon comes back to this situation.
I've scanned the car and the only fault is shown below
If I clear the code then as soon as I notice the "situation" (car idling high again, fans running and intermittent flaky power steering) again, scan shows above code is present again, so it's definitely triggering my symptoms.
My car has a DPF but its not related to that, the high idle and fans you would expect during a regen but the car is not regenerating when this happens.
So far I've done the following myself
Battery professionally tested twice - OK
Alternator and output tested - OK
Continuity between alternator and battery - OK
Continuity between battery and fuse box - OK
Battery negative/earth cable continuity (also cleaned up connections) - OK
Battery terminals cleaned up - OK
Fuses in fusebox tested, removed and re-inserted a few times - OK
I've thus far drawn a blank and any advice or suggestions would be HUGELY appreciated.
Below is a full scan for information.
