With the engine running, you should not hold the steering wheel fully turned for more than 15 seconds. Due to the long stay of the steered wheels in the extreme position, the steering servo fluid becomes very hot.
This can lead to malfunctions in the steering servo.
Each turn of the steering wheel to the stop on a stationary vehicle is accompanied by a noticeable noise, since the power steering hydraulic pump is heavily loaded. In addition, there is a short-term decrease in the engine speed at idle.
