    03 power steering issue

    I think I've finally tracked down the cause of no assist at low speed issue on my 03 Sport, but want to double check my thinking in case there is something new I'm not aware of.

    I've noticed that with the car running if I remove the PS resivoir cap, the fluid is NOT moving. I assume that it's just like any other car where the fluid should be visibly swirling/moving. The only reason I question it is because I've never had a Vic w/ rack/pinion steering let alone the VAPS option, so I could be wrong, but I doubt it. :drug:

    Can someone confirm this so I can save the $60 VAPS scan at the dealer tomorrow and put that money towards a possible new pump if need be?

    These are highly engineered precision vehicles, the first step in diagnosing the problem is to strike the suspected offending part sharply and repeatedly with a blunt object, then re-test.
