Normal condition for a diesel w/ hydroboost. There's an SSM for it, I'll try to dig it up later for you...

Also, this was reported in the earlier SD's that were gas powered.

My '01, if I'm sitting still with my foot on the brakes, it's pretty hard to turn the steering wheel. Been that way since brand-new.

One of these days, I'm going to put full synthetic in the PS and see what happens.

Quite a few people have reported synthetic fluid helps a lot.
