Intermittent "heavy " steering

Postby Martin904 » Tue Feb 10, 2009 10:55 am

Occasionally the steering on my 2002 XKR feels heavy at low speeds - this often happens after a spell of higher speed driving but not always !

It dosen't last long time but is starting to happen more frequently.

Ther are no no fluid leaks and nothing obvious on a visual check - anybody got any ideas or similar experiences ?

Hi
You have what is called servotronic steering on your xk8 the most likely cause is a broken wire from the PAS control module located rh side of dash to the steering rack quickest way to cure is to replace both wires.
If you need someone to have a look for you PM me

Thanks
