Any general advice?

 

My brother bought a T reg laguna 1.8 16v last week and drove it to wales and back. On the way back the power steering bacame intermittant and now doesnt work.

 

I have looked at the setup and it appears to be bog standard pas with no electrics etc. Checked the fuses and the variable pas one doesnt have a fuse holder, like the heated seats ones that are extras the car doesnt have. The fluid level is bang on the high mark which is where is was when we bought it, speedo working all ok.

 

The pump is spinning ok on the aux belt and isnt making any odd sounds etc?

 

I'm thinking it might be the pump, or even a blockage? Do they have any valves or sensors?

 

donno :confused:

when my slaggy's power steering died it was the high pressure pipe that had failed and was leaking gallons of fluid out, got through a bottle a week.

 

Sounds like a blockage to me mate!

Yeah think its blockage or pump fail as cant see any leaks and the fluid has not gone down!
