Hi, I came to pull out of a carpark and my power steering had gone dead. I looked underneath and I was leaking power steering fluid from the end cap of my power steering pump which had popped off just a little. I tried tapping it back in but it was out for a reason.
I have replaced the pump myself as it looked pretty easy (and was) and I'm away from my trusted local garage.
The power steering now works but when I turn the steering wheel when stopped or going very slowly there is ever so slight a judder to the steering wheel. When at speed or not turning the wheel theres nothing at all.
Can you help?
When I put the new pump on all (most) of the fluid had leaked out. I just topped up the reservoir, then turned the engine over and kept topping it up until it was full. I'm wondering if I should bleed it?
Many thanks, Dave
