jagman Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Yes its a common problem - Stop using the car now ! the failure gets worse and end up that you cannot turn off the power steering pump - so you end up with a flat battery and the loom to the power steering pump melts ,add another £75 Remove the pump , strip and clean out all the carbon build up , reassemble and refit - if done early enough it will cure the problem ,if not a new pump is needed circa £300 clean the pump every couple of years , the latest pumps also fail but less than the early ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
