Hi all,
Today I changed the pump and reservoir along with fluid in a Ma 08 petrol modeo. No drama putting the pump on straight forward really. The issue im having is.... When the car is running the steering is harder than when it's off. The car is jacked up so I am able to bleed the system buy turning full lock to lock whilst wheel are off the ground. The is no more air coming out of the reservoir so I'd assuune the bleed process is fine. The pump is quite no whine, but like I said engine off wheels up turning lock to lock the steering is lighter that what it is when the engine is running doing the same process. This would suggest the pump is causing more force than mitigating force. I'm stuffed as to why!!. If it was an air lock the pump would squeal like a stuffed pig but nothing at all silent. Any ideas?? Cheers Steve. |
