Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

every morning when i start up my 996, the power steering does not kick in. Eg: for about the first 10-15 seconds the steering wheel will not turn and then gradually it loosens up. has anyone else encountered this or can help identify the problem. The belt appears to be fine. Migration info. Legacy thread was 40846

POST 2Original post

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i've just had the pump changed and the problem is still there. Any other ideas? Migration info. Legacy thread was 43118

POST 4Original post

I had a flexible brake hose de-laminate internaly and block itself once. It took ages to find the problem as it looked fine from the outside. I assume the hydraulic pipework for the power steering may be of a similar construction to flexible brake hose, so perhaps its done the samr thing, andyou have a blockage in your pipes!

POST 5Original post

Resurrected this as my power steering seemed to be lacking (actually non existent) for a couple of seconds after starting this morning. The car had been sitting unused and unloved for 4 days and it was freezing this morning. Don't know if that has any bearing on the matter. The car is a 2001 996TT with 22k on it. Is a trip to the OPC waving the warranty on the horizon? Migration info. Legacy thread was 111135
