Hi
Recently I have been hearing a noise from my car when its started up on cold. The temperature in England is about 2 Degree Centegrade recently. It goes away after the car gets warmed up. The car seems to related to the power steering. The sound changes when the wheel is turned slightly. It is quite loud sounding like a long chirp. Apart from this there is no other unexpected noises. It doesnt seem to be the engine as it seems fine when i rev it and its not linked to the noise. Anyone able to potentialy diagnose this? Much appreciated, Thanks |

nor have i, power steering fluid is more or less transmission fluid without the dye (slightly different additive package so do not put it in your automatic trans!). it doesnt just 'crud up' and clog things without some external contamination.
more like....they saw a kid who would believe that. so they did drain and fill your fluid AND tightened the belt. after, was the fluid even new and clean? -------------------- |
