Jaguar XJ6 1990 Steering Heavy

Asked by XJ6loverrr Dec 29, 2018 at 09:42 PM about the 1990 Jaguar XJ-Series XJS Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

When the car is parked the wheel is impossible to turn. When the car is stopped and idling the steering wheel is impossible to turn. VERY HEAVY. When the car is moving the wheel turns normal.

What could be the problem?

F_O_R answered 5 years ago

Power steering pump perhaps. Check the fluid level.

Fluid is full. If you are driving above 10mph its normal and works fine. If you are parked or trying to turn from a stop it is impossible.

Try adding some Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak to power steering pump it not only stops leaks but corrects hard steering by lubricanting valves and seals in rack and pinion.

I have a 1994 Jaguar XJ6 Is there such thing as engine auto lock if you have a head gasket problem to keep water and oil mixing? I brought my car in for brakes and they've had it for months of problems getting parts and lots of excuses and when i finally gave up on them and went to pick it up it wouldn't start. It was running fine when I brought it there. They told me last they started it, it was blowing white smoke and jags have a bypass or auto disabler of the engine so that it won't cause more damage so maybe that's why its won't start. Is this bullshit? Is there such thing as a hyper lock that makes it that the engine won't turn over? I want to call them out on their lies if this is a lie and have them repair it so I can drive it home like I drove it in there. thank you for any information you can give. Jim 3 Answers
