Hi guys,
Just wanted some advice on my power steering.
It has started to act all funky, by which I mean is working intermittently. When you are bombing along its fine, when its going slow it cuts out all together. I have read some previous posts on the subject and it seems to be relatively straight forward.
I checked the PAS pump belt and it seems really slack, I marked the pulley wheel and belt with chalk and started it up and turned the steering a few times and could feel the PAS juddering, turned off the engine and looked for the chalk marks, the pulley mark is at 11 o'clock and the belt mark is nowhere to be seen.
So I assume that the belt is slipping a fair bit.
My question is do you think that it would be the reason for my PAS to packup from time to time? or could my problem be more serious?
Also while looking at the PAS belt I noticed a couple of other belts have quite a lot of small cracks in them, although they seem to be nice and tight. Should I change all the belts, and what are the consequences of them breaking midflight...
Cheers
