Yes i have a steering problem with a SRI V6 Vectra that is on 1999V. Its a strange issue where the tracing changes on its own. If you go around a left turn quite hard the steering will be straight. If you go around a right turn sharp then the steering will be half a turn out. When the steering is out the car still drives fine with no wobbles and doesnt pull anywhere. Have all the track rod ends etc checked, seems ok! Anyone got any ideas? Thanks Jay
The power steering issue in a Vauxhall Vectra 1.9 SRI could be due to several factors, including low power steering fluid levels, a failing power steering pump, or a malfunctioning steering rack. Electrical issues, such as a faulty power steering motor or wiring problems, can also lead to intermittent power steering failure. Additionally, a worn or damaged belt driving the power steering pump might cause the system to lose assistance. Regular maintenance and prompt diagnosis of these components are essential to resolve the issue.
can you tell me the location of the power steering fluid resovoir on a vauxhall vectre v6 3ltr cdti (2004 ), many thanks
bit of a nightmare to get to, the reservoir is on top of the power steering pump which is located behind the bumper on the o/s/f corner
under drivers wheel arch very tight space.
you power steering fluid may be low, if that was the case then you would have lowerd hydrolic power to steer the wheels and have to compensate by using more force...which may be why your steering is stiff.
i had this, all fluid just bust out onto road, steering became really stiff, i got it fixed for 300 quid, was power steering pump sensors and steering pump. garage said someone had messed with my car?
were is the power steering fluid resovoir on vauxhall signum 53 diesel
The power steering pump resivoir.
the sensor is underneath the power steering pump and the alternator, awkward to get to, you may have to remove top fixing for the dipstick housing.
The cost of a Vauxhall Vectra power steering pipe can vary based on factors such as the model year, whether it's an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part or an aftermarket option, and the supplier. Typically, prices can range from £30 to £150. Additionally, labor costs for installation can add to the overall expense if you choose to have it professionally installed. Always check with local auto parts suppliers or online retailers for the most accurate pricing.
£800 at Vauxhall franchised garage!
No power steering was not in 1997 corsa. it came after 1999
