Bit of a strange one came back to use my ST after not using it for 2 weeks braking felt really bad and steering was hard after code reading it showed a couple faults to do with the abs which were cleared and didn’t return braking seemed to be better and steering not as bad until you need to turn full lock.

 

In short: My steering feels very heavy have checked the common calliper slider issue all fine no codes present, any ideas?

 

Thanks

Front tyres lost pressure?

Possibly just the battery charge has gotten low, when it gets low the powersteering is usually the first to play up. On new focus the power steering can stop working all together whilst you're driving it

@Tizer tyres were all fine was first thing i checked before i checked brakes

@MasterTechTipwow interesting to know do you think putting a new battery in will fix the issue?

It's a possibility, it would be better to charge the battery yourself first just to see if it makes it better rather than spending money on a battery 👍

Thing is, it was starting over fine each time but having said that there’s no proof that battery has ever been changed its on a 63 plate
