"hello" All And Advice Please.

[Itchigo53]

I hijacked another thread previously but was hoping for some advice before I go to the mechanics.

I hurriedly bought a focus 2009 zetec 1.6.It had some minor problems which Ive resolved.

Im having issues with the power steering. Ive read as much as I can but I cant find the symptoms most people get.

I don't hear any noises and it intermittently looses PS at low speed / low revs.

below are pics of the engine bay, I cant see any leaking fluid as I checked under the car last night? Any ideas whats causing this? split pipe, or PS pump is just on the way out?

Any advice gratefully received! thanks.

The car has EHPAS (Electric Hydraulic Power Assisted Steering) so doing diagnostics check to see if there are any EHPAS codes logged would be a good start.

Hi Matt

"Loses PS at low revs" are you reffering to losing Pressure from the Electric Hydraulic Power Steering or Pferdestärke/s (PS)

I assume he has abbreviated power steering to PS.

Sorry guys, I meant power steering (trying to be quick typing on my phone).

I have an odb bluetooth port and torque app. I'll check tonight for any codes.

Chances are your OBD reader won't be able to read codes from the EHPAS module. You need Forscan to be able to read it. I'm sure if that module is on the high speed network or the medium speed network off hand. So it might need a modified elm cable. Or the other alternative is to stick on Ford IDS.
