Hello, why worry for days when you can just check the fluid in 20 seconds? The fluid is also the lubricant for the entire power steering system, pump and cylinder... they wont last very long without it. > Has anyone encountered this before, and is it likely to be painfull in the > wallet? Yes. Fluid is about 10 EURO, power steering pump plus mounting and re-aligning about 800 EURO plus 10 EURO fluid.... ;-) Richard.
