    Default power steering, need help

    hey all so today my vs commodore
    decided it would be stupid and now
    whenever i first go to drive the steering
    is really stiff until i turn it each way (like
    to get the fluid running) it was terrible all
    day till i changed the power steering fluid
    because it looked and smelt burnt, now its
    only at the start, any ideas on what it could
    be? i already priced a reconditioned pump
    just in case it is the pump, help please

    taking the back hoses off and letting it all run out, by bled you mean like turning the wheel till all the air bubbles stop in it?

    then yes i bled the system no air at all, it feels like its very slowly repairing itself or im just getting used to it,
    although i would like to have it fixed well
