EPV 631 Posted August 9, 2018 Steering “caution” Generically speaking, what would this likely to be if it’s flagged up on the report? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick M.K. 574 Posted August 9, 2018 I would say either some noise they heard or the steering wheel felt slightly heavier than the previous car they checked because the front tyre pressures were low :-) Is there a note about "abnormal shoulder wear" on tyres as well? If the car has fully electric power steering it's a risky buy with that Caution. If not it's probably ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lakeside 94 Posted August 9, 2018 Usually any power steering fault on an electronic system will throw up a warning light. id imagine it would be a slight knock on lock to lock test Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EPV 631 Posted August 9, 2018 Thanks chaps. It’s a 2010 A4 avant. 100,000 miles. No abnormal wear comment. Obviously my concern is the PAS pump which I believe costs a pound or two to replace... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trade vet 702 Posted August 9, 2018 I would say just leave it,why take a risk buying online,it is not as if you have to buy 25 cars every week.Where you operate EPV there is any amount of nice ex fleet stuff to buy within a 40 mile radius..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
