-> 206 Problems
#1: Heavy steering Author: karimali831, Location: England PostPosted: Fri May 27, 2011 11:15 am

So I'm insured on a Golf GTI now and couldn't believe the difference in how heavier the steering feels on a Peugeot 206. Turning sharp bends and a turn in the round is much hassle and not very easy... is this with all peugeot 206s' ?

Thanks Smile

Nothing wrong with a bit of weight to the steering it gives more feel.

Dont under stand your question here?

Are you saying the 206 has heavy steering or the Golf? If the Golf how old is it does? Does its have power steering?

The 206 has a nice feedback on the steering I feel but I wouldnt say it was heavy at all. If yours is have you checked you tyre pressures, power steering fluid? If these are low or incorrect they will effect the feeling of the steering.

Well I doubt it's the tyres as I had recent hydraulic inflation on all 4.
I am sure my steering is heavier than it should be.. could anything else contribute to this apart from the power steering fluid and tyres? I'll get this checked.

Thanks for your replies.

Fit the Astra power steering pump....and the 205 reservoir.... cures the problem if you need fast steering

I have left it for a bit but feels like the problem is getting worse, I'm more unable to do parallel parking smoothly and it is a greater hassle now turning with one hand. I want to try avoid getting new pump (unless it's the only way), how can I check the power steering fluid and how is it topped up?

if you need more than one hand to turn the wheel there's definitely wrong lol

Yes I need two hands to turn especially after 45 degrees, more heavier.

Another visit to the garage it is then...
