Seat Ibiza TDI: 2003, 6-Speed, 130HP

Hello!

I looked at a used car that had been in an accident.
(Right door damaged, side airbags and head airbags deployed.)
My question: Why is the power steering not working?
Was the car in emergency mode?

Best regards,

Darius.

Hi,

Why is my crystal ball broken?

Without more information, it's unlikely anyone will be able to tell you.

It starts with tripped circuit breakers and can go on to cause further damage that you haven't even noticed...

Best regards,

Jan.

"Yes, very few people here have the skills to fix this. Perhaps a triggered crash sensor is causing the emergency mode. Does it have electric power steering or power steering driven by the engine? You might need to take a closer look, because I specifically remember a few parts on the passenger side that, in the event of a side impact, could cause these symptoms..."
If the airbags deploy, there's definitely more than just a dent in the door.

Hello Jan,

Sorry, but I don't have any more information!
Only the outer door panel is damaged on the vehicle, and there is an issue with the combination instrument.
The airbag and power steering warning lights are illuminated.
The car has 20,000 kilometers on the odometer.
I haven't checked the fuses.
Allegedly, the electric vehicle shuts off when the airbag is deployed, but what about the emergency system?

Darius.

Hello Matthias,

The car has an electric servo.
Right door with a dent and slightly deformed rocker panel, broken mirror.

Darius.

It's me again...

Can someone tell me where the OBD connector is located in the Ibiza (from 2002 onwards)?
'Thank you!'

Darius.
