My power steering seems to be gone on my 2004 Mini,is this a common problem with this year car. And do anyone know know where I can get a pump other than the dealership,they seem to want my kidney in return.
I have this "winding sound",,standing still, and moving below 50 mph. brought it to a shop,,,they have to diagnose the proplem. he thinks it has something to do with the power steering assist, the fan. ....blah blah blah. he said the fluid level was fine, but I didn't see him actually uncap the fluid container. what do you think??
Woke up this fine morning and to my surprise the Power Steering pump is now operational. i KNOW IT IS GOING TO FAIL AGAIN. If anyone has a solution to my problem please help
The Power steering is ELECTRIC you might have a bad connection feeding power or the fan that cools the pump can be failing if the fan fails the pump will run for a time then when it heats up it will shut down
If it's not bad power connection the pump is likely failing
