d2 td5 power steering head ache

Scoo41 · Sep 22, 2021

alright guys. d2 td5. changed the power steering pump and the box. bled it up and when i run the car it buggers off to full left lock on its own. from center to left lock is super easy but turning right is alot harder. was told it may have an air leak. is this probably my problem. thanks

Does it go left without turning the wheel?

If so I suspect duff steering box.

Correct fluid used? May be debris in valves

I would flush through again and refill

Are you saying that as soon as you start it, the steering goes full lock on its own.??

I was wondering if it was possible to fit the pressure and return line the wrong way round, but I don’t think you can at the box, as the fittings are different sizes.
