  1. Strangely there is no etc help for the pt on these forum pages? But somebody told me the Neon uses the same steering. System. Mine has gone very stiff,replaced the pump bit better but not perfect cleaned the rack switch no difference the whilst test driving it suddenly worked only to pack up again shortly after. So has anybody suffered the same problem if so what causes it thanks in anticipation
  2. Where is the technical forum for pt cruisers ?
  3. Hello hopefully joining your group can help me from loosing all hope. This is the second PT I have owned and is a 2005 2.4l touring. I bought this car from a guy in Newcastle having travelled up from Kent by train. On the return journey the power steering became very heavy! Checked the fluid that's was ok so continued home. Got a mechanic to diagnose the problem and his opinion was the pump. Located a replacement he fitted it, it was a bit better only stiff on full lock? Searched online for answers and on U Tube found that it was probably the switch on the rack. Chap returned cleaned the switch still the same? Drove the car a few miles to see if it would clear and suddenly it was working!! Great I thought!! A hundred yards later it stopped again? Now the steering is totally stiff almost to the point of giving me muscles like Arnie to be able to manoeuvre when stationary. He keeps coming up with various suggestions but I'm sceptical as to his ability working on these cars. So I'm asking no pleading for help and assistance from you knowledgeable chaps and chapesses to stop me throwing a tantrum and walking away from PTCruisers for the second time
