Noisy sterring wheel

[mobilecat]

I noticed today that my steering wheel is rather noisy - it seems to be making a noise rather like that of a squeeky windscreen wiper when turned.

Any takers?

Hi,MC
Any silicon spray will do the job.

Ok now for my blond attack - where from and where to? Is it urgent and does someone want to help?

You sure the cowls not loose & just rubbing on the back of the wheel at some point??

I will check that tommorrow thanks. I haven't looked into it at all - I was just really suprised to hear noises coming from it!

Just a thought is it definitely coming from the cowling or could it be further down the steering columb:?: I always look for worst case senario then chuffed when it turns out easy fix

I wasnt sure and haven't had time to incestigate properly but it does sound pretty local - it had better be anyway

Is the power steering fluid level full?

[mobilecat]

Oh crumbs now you are asking.

After the school run I will attempt to check the cowl, see if anything else is obvious and try and get to the power sterring fluid - I haven't tried to access under the driver seat since the conversion
If it is the power steering fluid - where do I get this from?

[bigdaddycain]

Yep, the reservoir is under the drivers seat cat, if it does need topping up you'll need some hydraulic fluid/power steering fluid/auto gearbox fluid. I think its available in places such as morrison's/tesco etc nowadays... Just check the section where you'll find the engine oil for sale.

I will have a look when it stops raining - I am soaked just from the school run!! As it happens I didnt actually hear the noise this morning.

It could simply be a bit of debris caught between the wheel and the cowling, or the cowling may have "jumped" one of its "jaws"... But if you haven't checked the level of the fluid for a while, then you may as well have a gander...
