Whining noise?

Post by wozmac » Sat Oct 14, 2017 8:02 pm

I noticed a whining noise coming from the front of the car after coming off a motorway returning to low speed. Seems to be steering related, so I checked the fluid and fluid levels seem ok. But. The fluid looks discoloured, although it’s hard to tell as it’s dark. Anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks.

Cavitation, air in the steering system or your PAS pump is on the way out.
