as96 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Have a whirring noise when turning the steering wheel this is both stationery and moving, thought it could be the pump noise comes from under the bonnet? Is the car safe to drive? I've also noticed the fluid level is below the min mark, would this make any difference? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) The sound is probably the steering servo pump straining to pressurise with reduced fluid. I'd bang more in as a matter of urgency. May also be a good idea to find someone to check for airlocks. Edited March 10, 2012 by Stoney871 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambooka Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I think he means power steering fluid but the same applies top it up as soon as possible and if it doesn't disappear have it bled through to remove any air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossed purposes there. I meant the steering fluid reservoir. Been a long day. Edited post - Better? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as96 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Thanks Stoney871 and Sambooka for your replies, I'm on my way this morning to get some fluid, How do I get the air out the system? Is this a job I can do? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orcomma Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 How do I get the air out the system? Is this a job I can do? someone told me that you could do this by opening the lid of the reservoir and turn from lock to lock to expel the air but im not sure if he was kidding :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dLockers Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Top it up then take the lid of the res and turn lock to lock a few times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
