bit of a update,i ve been putting this off as i am going to be doing a lot of work on the car so was going to do it all together so.

Yest i set off from work and in the car park when i was turning i could here a knocking so had a check of the power steering fluid the PS container was empty so risked it and had to get home drove home no problem couldn't see any puddle under the car so i had to go the VW to get some Power steering fluid today £7.99Inc VAT which i didn't think was to bad also got round to ordering them seals 50p each again not bad.

Put it in at dinner but i was P***ing it down lucky for me we didn't have any thing in the works "nice and dry" i am still have a knocking from the steering when i turn when slow any ideas?


Also when i topped it up i got some one to turn the car full lock left right about 10 times to to bleed it that's right yer?

the knocking could be a few things track rods ends, wishbones/bushes, subframe bushes, ball joints, arb bushes and drop links

You could have knackered the power steering pump  :undecided:

Generally having to re-fill your power steering fluid means one thing - your steering rack is fooked  :sad:
