If your 2008 VW Jetta's power steering isn't functioning properly, the first step would be to check the fluid level. If it's low, you can purchase power steering fluid from a nearby auto parts store and top up the pump. If you lose power steering, be prepared to exert strong force to turn the wheel and stop at the earliest opportunity. Since the power steering pump is a relatively simple machine, the most common reason for failure is a faulty bearing that supports the shaft connecting the pulley and impeller. Over time and miles of use, these bearings can wear out.

It might not come with a pump. It could rely solely on electric assistance. Therefore, it doesn't require power steering or a pump.
