I have a vw jetta gli 2003 and the steering stopped working a few days ago. i found out from my mechanic that he will need to replace the racket pinon steering unit. he said it's going to cost around 2,000 and will take a few days to fix. has anyone else had this problem on their jetta?

If there is no oil leak from the steering rack,check the first power steering oil pump.But if the steering wheel doesn.t turn at all-change steering rack.

you can unhook the fuel line where it connects to the fuel rail and turn the key on and see if you get fuel but it's risky you don't want it to spill over the engine. you may just need a new filter or maybe an intermittent short at the fuel pump. could even just be the power supply plug for the fuel pump
The dealer has one (owned by the techs) but they are not going to let you use it. They are not in the tool rent business. Any repair shop that works on VW will have one. If you want one you will have to buy it from a tool dealer, find a Snap-on or MATCO dealer in your area.
KEY WORDS to search for are
2003+VOLKSWAGEN+remote+receiver...
or "keyless+module"
I only got hits back from eBay (& AMAZON)...
which would indicate this is a fairly ROBUST part...
(TYPICALLY: really popular parts = high failure rate).
((in my opinion))
No direct (part number) hits...!!
Look here... Appears to be inside the center console
(surmised without proper documentation)
Have VW check it out. I had just got my 04 GLI with 70,000 miles when the light came on. The thermostat triggered the light and so I had the whole timing belt, thermostat, and water pump service. Worth the money.
If you pop the hood, there should be a blub door right behind the headlight. Open the door, turn the bulb and it should pop out, ready for the new bulb
I had the same symptoms and found I had suffered from turbo failure and the final cost at the dealer was $3500, last VW I will ever own. I hope this isn't your trouble too, good luck
