Power Steering

[superdooper]

Hi all,

My power steering seems to be very light up to the point that i can use my finger to turn the wheel!

Generally, the steering seems to feel "odd"...

Is this normal / is there anyway to harden it up?

Thanks!

Got variable power steering and it's stuck? I dunno, what are your tyre pressures?

[superdooper]

33 all round, had been at 32 up until other day but no difference.

will try the things in that thread you posted.

cheers!


ps: what fuse/relay is for the variable steering so i can remove it to try that?

The variable power steering's far too light, but when you get used to it (it will happen) you'll find it's still communicative. Should really get off my backside and look at a way of stiffening it a bit

[superdooper]

I go around a corner and half way through realise i need to be steering much more, feel so disjointed from the damn road. Scary.

[mjb]

yeah, I was like that too.

You could try ripping out the power steering fuse?

[superdooper]

Glad its not just mine then!!!

What fuse is it, ill give it a try.

[mjb]

dunno. it'll be in the handbook or the haynes

[superdooper]

Cant find in my handbook, every fuse but PS. Havent got round to getting a Haynes yet lol

[steve_earwig]

Like Haynes is going to be right... Better off someone on here with a D8 handbook

[superdooper]

I have the handbook and it lists the fuses, but i think im being dumb because i cant see power steering mentioned.

Does anyone know what fuse / relay it is?
