Hello everyone,
I recently purchased mini one 53 plate. It only has 70k miles.
Recently I have noticed the power steering becomes heavy when the car warms up. I have been looking on forums and cannot find anyone with the same fault.
In the morning the car will start and power steering will be light for around 10 mins until everything warns up. Then the steering is heaving but not to the point where there is no assistance at all.
I have tried contacting mini UK by email to try and get a replacement pump under gesture of good will but they don't want to know.
I have read a lot about taking the pump off and cleaning it but none of the symptoms are like mine when the car is warm it won't work.
Has anyone had this problem and how did they fix it.
Thank you.
