cheers - did you have the same symptoms with yours? whinning/shakey steering on a standstill?

Ray T

Little whinning on full lock, no shaking though.mine was just registering on the bottom of the dipstick. mine is an My00 classic
p.s. there are 2 marks on the little dipstick for hot and cold checking

my powersteering fluid holder does not have a dipstick in it - just markings outside showing its on the full level as its see through... any ideas what might be causing the whinning now?=(

worn belt, or the pump on its way out.
