I have a 1.6 2005 blob and when I start the car I can barely turn the steering wheel until I get moving. I checked the power steering fluid and its full so I'm thinking the pump any ideas?
 
As above, belt is losing tension. Happened mine, new belt, job done, there are 2 belts there, I just changed both.
 
I had the same thing last weekend. The top belt goes around the alternator and steering pump. Cost 10 quid for a new belt.Easy Job just slacken the tensioner on the alternator to loosen the belt and replace. 10 min job. :mechanic:
