128 Powersteering problems
Just had a very dangerous situation with my XM. I was driving on the higway (around 100km/h) and had
to break at the end of it for traffic lights. When I lifted my foot from the gas-pedal (whatever it is called)
the engine stopped running , causing the powersteering to stop service. I can tell you that it is quite hard
to make a turn in a 1300 kilogram car without powersteering!!
How come this happened and what can I do about it?
====
If the engine stops running it is obvious that also the powersteering is out of order.
You have to search for the engine fault.
With these electronics it is better to drive to a Citroen garage and have the fault diagnosis computer
analyse the fault.
Based on my experiences I think that your motor management cable is worn. Till 1992 they were made
of very poor quality isolation material.
