Power Steering Fluid Low - Adding it every 3 months
cinco5 replied to cinco5's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
HI All I took my boxster to the dealership and mentioned the possible issue you guys noted. They inspected it as such and found out the power steering pump and reservoir needs to be replaced as well as the check valve line. I have an extended warranty on the thru Mercury. The issues is that the warranty will only cover the power steering pump and reservoir. They will not cover the check valve line because they stay they don't cover hoses or anything as such. The dealership told me to advsie them that is it not necessarly a line it is a metal piece - not sure why they [dealership] won't tell them but I need this part covered. Has anyone had this part covered by their extended warranty if so how was it submitted. Please help - thanks!! : :o -
Power Steering Fluid Low - Adding it every 3 months

WOW! Thanks for the responses... I guess my next trick is to find someone with reasonable prices to do it since the dealership is killing me in fees. -
I have been taking my boxster to the dealership for a whining sound in the driver side every morning when I start my car. They told me it was possibly power steering leakage. The found no hole in the hose and then they said "we don't know what it could be" but the fluid goes low about every 3 months so I get it filled up. I do not drive it to high milage daily. They would put the power steering fluid in it and then it happens again 3 months later. Now I am feeling the clutch pedal throb when I start the car--- once I get it going it stops making the whining sound and the clutch pedal stops throbbing. Any known fixes for this - and the dealership has been killing me with the fees to find nothing!! 2002 Boxster 2.5 / 5 speed/ US Thanks!!!
