New Type R owner
Hi everyone
Picked up my Type R at the weekend totally loving it! It just pulls like a train and handles like its on rails
My only concern is the steering is really heavy at low speeds when parking etc is this normal or could it be the power steering pump?
cheers in advance!

It may just be as you say and needs the fluid topping up, mine starts to whine on full lock when the level is low so I just top it up and it's fine.

If you don't have the DCCD in fully open mode, then i sometimes find the steering to feel heavier at lower speeds.
