    Default Power steering noise..

    Hey guys,

    Not so much of a serious issue im just hoping somebody can tell me what im hearng.
    Car makes a dripping/ girgling water/ fluid noise when turning, happens mostly when going through a round about (turning left then right)

    My girlfriends barina does the exact same thing.

    Anybody know what it is?

    Cheers!

    It could also be air trapped in the heater matrix (remove by bleeding cooling system) or water trapped in the airconditioner due to blocked drain. If the power steering fluid reservoir is very low then it may be the power steering. There is also a grommet which the steering column passes thru (on the firewall) which is made of plastic - it gets dry and makes a rubbing/squeaky sound. Fix with WD40.
