Power steering issue
« on: 23 January 2007, 22:27:36 »
Hi,

My X reg 2.2 estate has a problem with the power steering. When trying to manouver at slow speeds, the Power steering seems to stop adding assistance. A slight push on the throttle and the assistance comes back until the revs drop off again. There are no noises such as slipping belts or screching bearings and no fluid leaks . Is there some kind of pressure relief or one way valve in the system ?

Do you think it is the rack or the pump ? :o

Any help appreciated

Yes, I'm afraid I have to agree with above...
