Re: [MBZ] Update on the hesitation steering

2008-10-05 Thread Euan
Haven't tested my wagon to that extent, Mitch, but it's noticeably more 
difficult to steer. Enough to register as a hestitation under normal 
operating conditions, I should think.

So how hard is it to steer with the engine off?

I back my 16v down a hill and turn around before starting the engine 
usually, it's kind of heavy, but not bad if it's rolling when I turn.

[MBZ] Update on the hesitation steering

2008-10-04 Thread Euan
It's been some time since I last reported on the problem I had with my 
steering freezing momentarily.


The fix, you'll recall, was to adjust the power steering belt to 
eliminate slippage.


Well, that seems to have been the correct diagnosis. Wet or dry, there's 
been no recurrence of steering freeze at all.


That's quite some relief, I assure you.

Cheers
