However I had it fixed for less than $100 ! It all boils dwn to the power steering relay as ours are electric driven ! Replaced the relay at about $45
and labour to identify and repair the electrical points.
The wrong earthing of ur wires also contribute to tis issue bcoz when we start our engine, electrical pulses are suppose to reach the relay to activate power steering, if the relay fail to get the required signal it will stall for a while !
However urs could be more serious issue, dun mind sharing wif me ! I m worried mine would reach ur stage of problem too, PM me can ?

Sometimes it pays not to listen everything at face value. Either you pay $100 or $1000k for similar repairs.
The salesman who sold me my 8 also said the car sale and repair industry is one of the dirtiest.

Wow.... I got this same problem 2 months ago right after I changed my battery. At first, I tough something need to be reset or what.
The problem goes like : When the car's engine is cold, especially in the morning; when you steer the wheel to the right, everything is fine. But when you steer the wheel to the left, it goes jerky & vibrating ...................
I have to make the sterring wheel lock to lock 3 to 4 times, then the problem will go away..................
Hopefully is just a mater of the relay problem..............

Yez..all this happened after when your battery is flat or battery changed. So I suspect that something need to be reset too coz why only occured only after battery changed??!!??!!?? puzzled!

Went down to Garge R to install the ENDLESS brake pad & Steel braided hose. Mentioned to Wong about this problem & according to him, Most of the Type S has got this problem. All U have to do is to change the Steeling senosr and reset the
ECU. The whole process takes about 2 to 3 hours and the charges is about S$100 plus.

Have the same problem in my 2003 6MT 8. There is a torque sensor which is built in to the motor. Are you talking about the steering sensor? Someone also mentioned about the relay. where is this relay located? I ordered a power harness as suggested by many, but may be i need to change the relay or sensor. any idea where is the relay?
