Hey quick question -

Has anyone noticed their power steering getting heavier with the age of the vehicle? I know the fluid should be changed at some interval, but my golf is just over 2 years old, with only about 19000km on the clock.

It could be my imagination, but the steering kind of feels slightly heavier than it used to. Seems fine at regular driving speeds - its at slow parking speeds that I notice it. I've checked tyre pressures. All seems ok. Had a quick squiz under the bonnet but couldn't really see any power steering fluid resevoir visible. Will scour the manual again tonight to try and find where it is.

I will probably take it to dealer for a quick checkup but thought I'd ask anyway...

cheers
