Power Steering

Recommended Posts

Tommer

Hi all,

 

the newer car which is being tarted up with the best bits of the old car (both 1.9 GTis, old is an 89 new is 90) came with power steering.

 

I am not sure if it works, the pump seems to work and the fluid seems to return, but is it meant to be finger light steering like say you'd get in a vauxhall or is meant to be assisted when stationary / slow moving?

 

at the moment I don't think it works... any tips to test?

 

thanks in advance

205 PAS is comparitively low on assistance compared to modern cars, and has a weighty feel to it - a good thing in my book.

 

Should be pretty obvious if it's working though - turn the steering with the engine off, and then start it up and try again. Whilst still weighty, there should be a noticeable difference with the engine running.
