BJPCamper Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Hi Just purchased new Autocruise Rythem. When after a night standing, I start up van the power steering pulses i.e.steering wheel moves in sympathy with pulsing. It disappears after a few minutes, or if I switch off and restart engine. As it intermittent it never happens when I take it to garage, rather annoying on a van costing over £40,000. Any suggestions Thank BJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve928 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Mine (2015) does the same, as do many others on the Bailey owners Facebook group, if that's any consolation. As you say, it's a definite pulsing felt through the wheel, but it's away after 30 seconds or so. My Peugeot dealer, who seem to on the ball, couldn't find anything wrong so I suspect that it's a feature rather than a fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve928 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I have 2 problems that only last for a minute or so upon cold start and not every cold start to boot. Sadly the chances of ever getting them fixed now without leaving the van with Peugeot for weeks on end are, realistically, zero. I'm just hoping that if they develop further they do so within the period of warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJPCamper Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Hi Steve Yes I agree, As you say its not every cold start it does it. As it did not happen when I took it to dealer I said on my next visit I will video it happening and then they will perhaps believe me. It a bit like the 2007 van I bought which had the water ingress on to the engine and gearbox reverse faults. We live in hope. Cant find the baily website you mentioned.

Steve928 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Hi Brian, You'll need to search for the 'Bailey motorhome owners group' on Facebook, but it's a closed group and you will need to request membership. Facebook isn't organised in named threads like this forum so you may struggle to find when it was mentioned. I recall that it was early on when we only had perhaps 50 members and I think that 5 or 6 put their hands up and said that their vans were affected too. I may raise the subject again now that we have almost 500 members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordThornber Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 How is this "issue" a problem? Before you know it there'll be folk demanding a recall. Or their money back. Good grief, you fire it up and occasionally there's some mild resistance through the wheel. It disappears. I'm the last one to spout on anything remotely technical but come on. #somefolkbuyemjustforthemoanfactor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve928 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I tend to agree and have no plans to do anything further about mine as long as it doesn't worsen, which it shows no signs of doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJPCamper Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 You must be joking not an issue. This pules the wheel and driving wheels moving about 2 inches, you could not drive it like this. On a large international manufacturer you should not expect this.

Steve928 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Your's does sound worse than mine then Brian. I can feel the pulse through the wheel and consequently there's a very slight threepenny bit feel to the steering, but nothing moves or feels out of control. Do let us know if you get any further, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJPCamper Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 hi Steve Yes I did go over the top with symptoms, due to rather aggressive reply from previous person. I agree with your description of a threepenny bit feel, and it only moves the wheels slightly. I am trying to video it at the moment, but when out this morning and as you can gather it did not do it. Thanks again, will keep you informed if any progress with dealer. Cheers Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
