Mariusz Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hi guys Yesterday i was driving and all of a suddern a wierdly pitched sound proceeded to come from the front end.. like a whine It increases significantly as i turn the steering wheel to full lock, i thought it cud be power steering related... power steering works ok and the noise is kinda syncd to reving the engine? Hard to explain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariusz Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Could be your power steering pump though. If its low on power steering fluid could that be the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Have you checked there's no play in the pulleys? Has your aux belt worn or become loose/split? Whining could be a whole host of problems, could indicate bearing wear or even something catching? Does it affect the performance? Can you do a vid and post it on this thread?

Dazzi Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Power steering pump on its way or fluid needs topping up - I'd check the fluid first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariusz Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Power steering pump on its way or fluid needs topping up - I'd check the fluid first I will check fluid first, i remember it was a bit short on fluid a month ago so could be that?

Dazzi Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I will check fluid first, i remember it was a bit short on fluid a month ago so could be that? Could be. Might need bleeding if air has found its way in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 It may just be low steering fluid, air in the system or pump on the way out. With the car idling top up fluid and turn wheel lock to lock to bleed the system. Hopefully that will do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-B Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hi mate, as the other's have said check your power steering fluid, have you got round to getting your car serviced yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
