I have a 2011 2.3 X250 with 36000 miles Motorhome.
Last October while on my way to Isle of Bute from Dumfries I noticed the red warning steering wheel symbol light up. After a quick google with no joy I topped up the reservoir which wasn’t actually low, but the light went out. Then back on 50 miles later, then off. Then getting off the ferry it’s back on again.
And off
And on.
Then it stopped. I tried to check further and perhaps it’s to do with the stability control switch on the steering column? Some advice was to go lock to lock a few times, switch off and back on.
Then it’s been off until yesterday when it did it all over again. My lock to lock a few times seems to have stopped it but I’d like to get it sorted if possible before I cover a few thousand miles later this year in France on holiday
Something noticeable when it’s lit is the steering gets a bit notchy, rattly at tickover and the steering when stationary is bit heavier than usual. It is fine when driving. I have turned off the engine while moving and with the engine dead it is very clear that the pump is working when the motor is running.
Over to you, any thoughts?
