Se pare ca a fost exclusiv vina mea si s-a intamplat exact ce scrie mai jos. Am gasit pe un forum strain: "Wow, I must post in this thread. Let me explain. I worked as a power steering engineer at Chrysler (the Auburn Hills Tech Center) from 1999 - 2008, when I took the buyout package and went to work for a supplier, also in power steering. Thus, I know this issue all too well. What happens is, when you hold the steering wheel on the lock, you deadhead the pump. This sends it into what we call "pressure relief". There is a little valve inside the pump that opens up at 1690 psi (in this vehicle), causing all of the flow generated by the pump to be recirculated inside the pump. The fluid doesn't leave the pump in this condition, it just recirculates inside. Since the pump is a positive displacement pump (9.6cc in this case), the total flow generated is proportional to rpm. The heat generated is essentially pressure times flow. Thus, during pressure relief, all of the flow is recirculated and it doesn't get cooled. At idle, it can stay in pressure relief for a pretty long time without damage. However, at high rpm, the fluid gets VERY hot, VERY fast. It doesn't take long at all to kill the pump in that situation. That's what happens when doing donut's / drifts. High rpm at steering lock = deadly to a pump. We knew about it at Chrysler and had seen it here and there, but since MOST customers don't do that, spending time and money on a solution wasn't justified."
