Hi, I have a 2005 1.9D van with 90k on it. The steering is ok while I am driving with the revs over 1800rpm, when I slow down or stop(under 1800rpm) the steering becomes very stiff. I assume this is something to do with the pump. The belt is in good condition and the correct tightness and the reservoir has the correct amount of fluid in it. The fluid looks good with no "froth". I have come to a conclusion that the return valve might be stuck slightly open, so at low revs there isn't enough pressure to compensate for it. Am I near the mark or way off (wouldn't be the first time!)?
