power steering problem

[olav]

My powersteering is sometimes working, sometimes not. When it does work I sometimes hear a high pitch "squeel" I guess is comming from it... any ideas what's wrong?

Mine used to do this. It can be a loose connection.

Where is the connection? Too new an engine for me to work on...

You aint working on the engine though... You would be working on the power steering pump.

Check there enough fluid in it first of all

The problem was gone today...it was quite cold yesterday, can that be the cause?

give the powersteering pump a smack with a hammer, they stick sometimes
