Clio 1.4 mk 1 1998 ... Power steering noisy ..... and hard

[Rond58]

Hi all, can anyone offer info on what the problem may be and how to resolve. Will changing the fluid help in any way ?? what fluid would I need .....

Have you checked if there's any fluid in it?

It could have a leak which has caused the pump to run dry and possibly damaged the pump
