Problem with steering?

[Dave_R]

Having just had a new power steering pump fitted, when I first go out to the van, start it, and go to pull away I am getting a jerking motion when I turn the steering wheel. After the van has ran for 2-3 mins this goes away.

we had this on a sprinter and it was cus of a pipe being loose and letting air it. once it blead its self it was fine until you turned it off for a few hours

does sound like air in the system - check the level first

ive had this on a few of them types, it seems that the load the power steer pump puts on the engine makes it shudder

[Dave_R]

It has started to do exactly what you say, the engine is shuddering and the power steering belt is squeeking! It is going into the garage tomorrow!

has it been bled properley and is the belt tight enough

[Dave_R]

To be honest mate, I aint mechanically minded.
It just had the water and power steering pump replaced, so it could be a case of air int he system. The belt feels tight enough, but I'll get it checked tomorrow!

Just got the van back. It was the power steering belt and the belt tensioner was away as well!
