Wideboy Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 Hi have noticed this problem and think its getting worse have read through a lot of other posts and in particular one that gave this bit of an explanation. Took from other post Mine did this, turned out to be power steering/etc - belt tensioner had failed; Looking under bonnet- engine running, the jockey wheel type tensioner was juddering all over the place, this went away as revs increase: New belt/ tensioner. (warranty job done). Does this sound like what could be wrong with ours,also any chance of a picture of where the jockey wheel type tensioner is so i have got some idea where to look.Any help/info appreciated thanks.

MrT Posted June 2, 2006 Report Posted June 2, 2006 You should not be turning your steering wheel when stationary as it puts undue pressure on all the steering components and damages your tyres, especially with a car with a heavy front end such as this. It is fairly common for a little juddering of the steeering wheel when at full lock on power streering systems although I have not experieced this on the galaxy. Quote
Wideboy Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Posted June 2, 2006 Lol not turn your steering wheel when stationery,forgive me but when we are parked do we just go backwards and forwards and nudge the other cars out of the way lol j/k.I know what you meant.Will have a look later today,thanks for the replies and the diagrams much appreciated.If it is a new tensioner thats required any idea on price and best place to get one thanks.

Masked Marauder Posted June 2, 2006 Report Posted June 2, 2006 It is more likely a worn belt than a failed tensioner. Quote
