Power Steering problem ?? - 8th Nov 2005 4:04pm
Ello guys, need a little info.
My mum told me earlier she was driving her vauxhall astra estate when suddenly the battery light came on. No noise or anythin happened. Then when she got to the next corner she realised the steering was really heavy and required great effort to turn.
When i was in the car with her afterwards it seemed to me like the power steering was no longer workin. She was gonna take it to a garage but doesnt want to end up payin a load of cash if its an easy problem to fix.
I checked fuses etc an they all seem to be good for the steering, tried to chgeck for the power steering fluid under the hood but cant find it.
My knowledge of cars aint exactly great so not quite sure what else to check for.
Any help would be appreciated, cheers guys.
