I have an 733 with 163k. engine runs fine but have power steering problem. Replaced leaking pump, replaced accumulator. If I get stuck in traffic and car idles for a while or even driving into the city, now that the weather is warm, I lose the power assist to steering. Shut it off and let it sit an hour or more and everything works fine again. Any suggestions on where problem might be?


Check your belts--they expand and get slippery when hot.
