hi,
My wife and I have a 2008 Ford Mondeo TDCI, with about 68,000km on the odometer. It's been regularly serviced (mostly at Ford service centers). In recent times it has acquired a really bad habit of locking up the steering wheel when driving at low speeds (e.g. when parking in the driveway or driving out of the parking lot at a supermarket). I mentioned this when servicing the car last time at Courtney & Patterson Ford in Heidelberg... they mentioned something about 'maybe this is an issue with a power steering pump, but we're not sure, but it'd cost $1000+ to get the pump replaced and even then we're not guaranteed it'd solve your issue'. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions/recommendations on how to approach this... does this sound like a common/known issue? (Power steering fluid levels seem to be fine. When my father-in-law and I inspected the fusebox in the car, we noticed that some fuse related to power steering - as per Mondeo manual - didn't even seem to be installed). Thanks in advance, Greg |
