Bfstrachan 10 Posted October 20, 2015 Just taken ownership of a 1.8 16v. When I am turning at very low speeds - pulling out of a parking space or at crawl on half or full lock, it is a bit clumpy. At speed it's fine, but at low speeds its lees than smooth. Any help would be great! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 13 Posted October 20, 2015 hello m8 i had a similar issue with my valver a couple of weeks ago check your power steering belt for tension & also check that the pulleys are aligned properly my pulleys were slightly out of line & though i have the correct new power steering belt fitted it had stretched a little & was slipping - this was causing it to feel very clunky when turning at low speeds. it also produced a classic belt slipping chirp occasionally. FYI as part of getting it back on the road it had a new steering rack & much of the running gear EDIT: if you are unsure which belt i mean it is the lowest one on the drivers side of the engine block Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted October 20, 2015 also worth looking at the top mounts on front suspension Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
