My steering on my cupra seems to be fairly heavy and feels to be getting worse. I just wondered what other people thought of theres before a try and see if there is a problem.

i can a noise when im turning the wheel when the card not moving. I was thinking of changing the power steering oil to see if that made it lighter. is this suppose to be changed at any time or is it there for the life of the car?

check the electrical plug that goes to the power steering pump. It apparently gives extra power to the pump which helps make the steering lighter at low speeds etc.

The wires on mine had come away from the plug so had to mod the plug and re-solder the connections, seen it on a few cupras
