Whining/Whirring noise on turning wheel
 

Hi all,


I've been noticing a whine while driving for a while now - it is mostly noticeable when going round roundabouts.


Today while looking for a coolant leak with the engine running, I turned the wheel a little and noticed the whine. I found that at idle it is noticeable but not that loud, when holding revs at 1500-2000 the noise is very loud - coming from drivers side.


The noise goes away with no load on steering.


Tried to video it but audio on phone seems a little distorted - very short clip below:

Any ideas?


There is fluid in steering pump reservoir. My son thought it was coming from alternator area.

I would look at the power steering belt as you get the sound when the wheel is in play.:shrug:

Have you checked the fluid level on the power steering?

Hi,


Yes, checked fluid, level ok.

Hi,


I'll get Lates to have a look when it goes in for thermostat.


Thanks.
