Intermittent Power Steering - anto - 16-07-2013

Alrite guys,

This last 2 days the power steering has been going from light to heavy.
Is this a sign that the pump is fubar?
No leaks that i can see and fluid is at the correct level although it has never been renewed (whoops)...

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Anton

could be.
is the aux belt at right tension?

PAS oil does get forgotten a lot, but does have a long life cycle

I got a spare pump that I think will fit if needs be

The car is on 190k so its had a long long life lol
Yes aux belt is fine.
Ive bought a timing belt and aux belt so it will get changed this week anyway and double checked.
Ive a few 306s about that i can nick the pump if it comes to that, thanks anyway piggy.

for the sake of three bolts, just swap the pump with a spare then!

and get that fluid changed!
