Power steering warranty

Steviesol · 2017-08-22 22:06:40

Hi, I have a warranty on my car that I bought second hand from garage. It covers engine, no gearbox, my power steering is gone, would you think this covered with warranty. Thanks

Nope

Unless you can provide an engineer report saying car was not fit for purpose.

Buyer beware

Suck it up, or spend more time and money fighting an issue that you could fix for less

For what it is worth. Got the car back today and it is fixed and was covered under warranty.

Apparently there was an oil leak because a seal broke, this oil leak knocked a power steering pully out of joint and it fell off.

Glad to be back on the road, and I guess that's a benefit of buying second hand from a garage.
