Omega General Help / Re: Steering Prob

« on: 20 December 2008, 12:12:01 »

Hi D, first thing to check is the power steering fluid level, thats the black bottle with the steering wheel image on it. If the level is OK it could be the pump, fairly common fault on the meega. Normally with the engine running and ther top off the fluid bottle any small movement in the steering will show as movement in the fluid.

Pumps are about £40 from any of the regular breakers on here

Thx for that...The fluid is ok - will get him to have a look at the pump... Is that an easy job to change - Jase (my hubby) says something about de-gassing the aircon to change it? Its a 99 by the way.

Omega General Help / Steering Prob

« on: 20 December 2008, 11:58:32 »

Hi - newbie question for you please.  

Have an elite 3.0 and it has just started with a steering fault.  Feels a bit light when driving normally and then when I try to manouvre in a small space it acts like there is no power steering at all and becomes too heavy to steer.  

We will be doing the work ourselves (thats the royal 'we' cos it will be my hubby doing the work lol).

He thinks it may be the power steering control unit??

Any ideas welcome??

Hi, I have had a 3.0 elite with no probs for some time now.  But its just developed a steering fault and seeing as I am a regular forum user in the American car scene, I decided that this would be the place to find help.

So hi everyone and I hope someone may be able to help me in my help thread.
