    The PAS pump on Vectra-C's is electrically driven. Unless you're referring to the alternator belt slipping (unlikely as has a tensioner) and thus not providing enough juice to power the PAS pump?

    i just think that the revs might be dropping to low either that or your power steering fluid might be low
