Power stearing issue
 

strange sound coming from p stearing.

When car running but stoped all ok, once i pull away if i turn to the right all ok, if i turn to the left get a strange sound, a bit like the pump working sound, only noticed it today - any ideas please?

It could be just running low on power steering fluid mate.have a quick check and top up if needed.Mine was making a funny noise a few months ago when it was a bit low.

oh ok will take a look.. silly question - wheres the res. situated on a 2002 bug?

no - just checked it all looks ok to me..

Any other poss ideas?:confused:

The next thing worth checking is the tightness of the belt.It might need adjusting.
If its coming from the pump but it isn't too loud I wouldn't worry too much unless it's annoying.
Mine can be heard a little when I'm driving but I'll wait for it to get a bit noisier before changing it.

cheers m8, its a bit wierd this cos on the drive home tonight it has gone away? will have to keep an eye on it over the next few days..

thanks for all replys guys:thumb:
