No power steering when stationary

[volvo for ever]

Is that power steering oil ?...
I'd always use proper stuff

CHF is what Volvo use in their PAS systems
It is green so as not to confuse it with other fluids
Don't use anything else or it won't work

Doesn't really matter now, just get rid.

Just curious as I recently bought the car and the fluid is clean so obviously new, wondered if someone had changed it recently to cause the problem or in an attempt to fix it ?
Will get on with replacing it tonight and report back.

I have tried reving the engine whilst stationary but the steering still feels the same, very heavy.

what are your tyre pressures , Try 38 front 36 rear with low tyre pressures the force needed to move the front wheels when stationary is massive .
