Heavy power steering

(1/3) > >>

pritch:
Hello there folks,

Seems the steering on my 200TDi has gone rather heavy all of a sudden.  A quick peek under the bonnet this morning has revealed a rather fuller PAS reservoir than I recall.

So, any ideas what gives?  More importantly, any ideas how I can fix it when I'm working until 6pm this evening, and rather need the vehicle for visiting family tomorrow?  I'm tempted to just drive it as is; will that be OK?

Check the belt tension before much else... can make the steering feel heavy.

Harumph.

Just had a quick look now.  I've got a nasty feeling that it's new PAS pump time.

Andy.:
I had this prob a few weeks ago, checked and tightened the belts and also checked my tyre pressures and now all is fine.

HTH.

Wanderer:
I had exactly the same symptoms and solution.
