Help ! - Power steering problems

Post by Waza »

I have an intermittent fault on my rev 2 turbo power steering. I keep losing the power assistance, pump not running, warning light on dashboard on. Can some one tell me where the relays are to check electrical connections or suggest what may be the problem. Fluid level is ok.

Hi Waza,

Had a similar prob in mine, Cheepest (its free) test to do first is turning the ignition on and off about 30-40 times (without starting the engine) as the contacts on the relay get corroded/erroded and doing this will clean them a bit.
