berlingo steering

[rainydays]

Been thinking about it today, could it be possible that i have air in my system?
Is there a bleeding sequence/method that i can follow?

[myglaren]

Full lock in either direction held for about fifteen seconds is the usual method of bleeding PAS.

It turned out to be the lower part of the steering column. I gave it a good squirt with wd40 and it felt normal instantly.
This is not a long term fix. Apparently this part can dry out. Hope it helps someone else if they have the same problem

[myglaren]

Perhaps spraying with white grease would be more effective, repeated twice annually?

[rainydays]

never heard of white grease. Is that it`s proper name?

[oneday]

yes you can get it in spray or in a tub

Can you please take a pic to show us where you're spraying it?.. Mine's going a bit stiff. Or, sort of. I think. It just feels a little less compliant than usual.

I think it's Würth who sell a beaut spray grease that sucks right in, then sets to a waxy crust on the top, leaving the main body of grease well "wet".

Great stuff! Thanks. Inside or outside the car. This makes a difference as if inside, I'll do it today. If outside I'll have to get the ramps out and it's too cold for that..

pop your bonnet and look below the drivers side window wiper area, behind the engine. you can see where the lower part of the steering column as shown in image in previous post attaches to the steering rack. squirt all around this area. Try and aim upwards

Brilliant ta, I'll have a butchers tomorrow if I get to do anything other than sleep!
