    Whining power steering '05 CDTi

    Had the car for MOT, checked the front suspension extensively. MOT point is left lower ball joint, passes MOT but has some play but within limits. Outer steering joints are OK.

    Whining power steering '05 CDTi

    No, the wear was less present at the time, I think my (VERY) hard breaking caused it to wear out rapidly. I talked to a V.A.G. specialist (used to bring my GTI TDI there and very critical mechanic) and told me the alignment shop I went is run by idiots nowadays so I won't be going there anymore...

Car steers in very well now and much more confident, still have to turn the wheel quite well to go...

    Whining power steering '05 CDTi

    Went to the dealer yesterday: Dealer The system was checked for leaks (none). We test drove another accord (2.0 facelift) which had the same issue, the counter steering on sharp turns. He said my car was number 3 this week with these type of steering issues. He was convinced that it is a bit of...
