Still playing around with this issue. I had a Chicago independent shop install a salvage pump back in January. Well there was a minor connection leak. I live in CT and am back in Chicago this week. Well they said they fixed the leak (only just picked up the car today, so ...?!?), but there is a "new" issue. When I first start the car, the PS assist (level) is EXACTLY as before (GOOD), but after a minute or two, the assist level is stiffer than it used to be. This condition is repeated every time after the car is stopped (off) and restarted at a later time. The PS is definitely working ... just stiffer. Any insight?
Thanks as always.
