Noises from power steering after hard cornering...

Featured Replies

Since fitting my ARB properly I've been exploring my new found levels of grip... so far the grip level > my bravery :p

Anyway, after giving the car some stick on the twisties I'be started to get noises from the power steering. Hard to describe, kind of a rough wiring noise :|

Anyone know what the possible causes might be?

Have you checked the fluid level?

Have you checked the fluid level?

You know how sometimes it takes someone to point out the blindingly bleeding obvious...

well... it was quite a bit below min :doh:

As I'm at work and don't have access to my manual can anyone tell me what I need to grab from Halfords or is there just one type of power steering fluid?

Comma CHF 11S meets VAG specs, and is what I have. Normal off the shelf hydraulic fluid doen't meet the spec so make sure it covers you.

As my local Skoda dealer wouldn't serve me today I ended up just getting some general stuff from Halfords as I was unsure of the damage running it low might cause. Oh well, as it was only a top up hopefully it won't cause too many issues as it only took a drop to bring it up to max.
