Description of the problem | Recent news reports alerted me about the investigation into mini power steering failures in 2004-05 mini coopers. I am writing to report that a few years ago, i experienced intermittent power steering failure in my 2002 mini cooper (at about 70k) making steering very difficult. Because the problem would come and go, it was difficult for my repair shop to find the root cause. Eventually, the power steering pump was replaced. |
