XC90 2005 D5 - weird power steering issue
 
Good day. New here. Have digged through a lot of forums here and I do suspect that I might need to change the steering rack - but still - my issue doesn't seem to match completelly with others. So - when steering at least 45 degrees to either side - it feels like the power steering is trying to push the steering wheel back. It happens only when I am going at least 20mph. When stationary or going below 20mph - power steering is light and works smooth with no issues. Other issue - when starting - I get Anti Skid temparary off warning - but as soon as power steering starts to play it - warning turns into anti-skid service required. I really don't know if they are related to power steering issue. Looked at getting Dice - nothing available nearby - so have no way of scanning - nor any indie garage to ask for. Suspect that anti-skid is related to steering wheel angle sensor - though - don't know how it could relate to power steering. I did read somewhere that there are 2003 Volvo XC90 that have speed realted power steering - have no clue on how to check that - though think it's only on T6's. Recently changed Power Steering pump - made little to no difference - have to mention that the steering rack is clean - no leaks anywhere. A bit confused on what's going on here. Any ideas appreciated!

Steering Angle Sensor??

But how can steering angle sensor affect power steering if it's not electric one? Just don't get it :D

I had to have my SAS replaced, and the error messages included Anti Skid etc

There was no issue with Power Steering (that I could feel) though...

Isn't there a good Indie in the New Forest somewhere?

Here you are...

Ok - not too sure if it is related to SAS then. So read somewhere that there are even 2003 XC90 that come with speed sensitive power steering - and he had same issue as me and turned out to be the solonoid that regulated the power steering absed on speed. Anyone know how I could check that? Thanks
