Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I�ve got 0 power steering, using good ole forearm muscle in the parking lot.
Driving experience is not affected. I actually quite enjoy manual steering for more of a direct driving feel, but it would be nice for slow speed.
The PS reservoir is full, there seem to be no leaks in any of the lines.
Before I drop in a new $450 PS Pump in there, any ideas on how to diagnose?
Thanks!
U can disco the connection on the return line under the car and see if the pump us pushing fluid through the system. Other then the pump it could be something wrong internally with the rack allowing the pressure to bypass?
The return line is the larger line off the steering rack that travels under the car drivers side. The connector is under the plastic panel. U want to return because the pressure is much lower and wont be near as dangerous. It will still be under pressure even at idle but its controlable and have it shoot into a bucket.
My assumptoin would be if it has pressure after the rack, then the rack is bad. If no pressure then u have a blockage or a bad pump.
Be aware when u do this u will be draining the system so u may need someone to fill as u test.
Ah I see, thanks for the insights.
If return is on the driver’s side, is the line from the PS pump to the rack on the passenger side?
Any recommendations on not confusing with A/C lines?
Look up changing the ps fliud on a porsche 996. There is a video or 2 and a good one on a boxter. I think the ps fittings are unique and and the same as the ones in the engine bay. U can also trace them back from the rack.
