Hi guys (and girls)

I own a 04 m6 cv8 & just had my 10'000 klm Service done at Holden - where they also rotated the tyres for me. Well the next day it was off to Power Torque to make the thing go like it should & over the last few weeks since the 10000 service my Power Steering feels all out of whack - spongy & un-responsive to say the least ! Almost feels like it had no Fluid !
Well I checked & it was pretty low which is weird seeing as it was only serviced a month ago & for a car that's 6 months old it should not be low anyway !

Has anyone else had issues with their p/steering ??

I Have the car booked in to be looked at this week :mad:

Cheers

There is also a power steering re-call mod which they may have done and not topped up the fluid afterwards... I know that'd be a first time though...;)

OK - problem solved ... when the boys did my new pipes they removed part of the steering assembly & left 1 bolt loose - this was giving me very odd feedback through the wheel ....

Good news is that the lads at Zupps Aspley looked at, it re did the wheel alignment, checked all levels & tightened up all steering coponents & didn't charge me a cent !!

Must say I was pretty happy with that seeing as they didn't do any of the work .. !

Anyway I'm just glad she's back to normal..

Cheers
