I was making a tight u turn with the steering wheel turned to the limit and lost my power steering completely. There are no obvious leaks belts seem to be on but no power steering.

Hi there, dose the engine revs change or is there any noise with the steering on full lock on either direction?

Hi there,

From your response to my last question I would be fairly sure that the pump has failed, as there is no pump by-pass noise on full lock.
