Hi everyone,
Just joined up.

hoping to resolve something.

I have a 54plate 2.0 TDCi Zetec. I have started to notice an occasionalwhiney sound when i turn the steering wheel when parking. sounds like a pump strain. has anyone else had this problem or know what it is?

Thanks,

MAtt.

Does this happen on full lock, or just when moving very slowly?
I know that every car that I have had with power steering, if on full lock while stationary, it will whine until you slightly release it.

No im not turning the wheels when stationary.

I know there will always be the standard whinny noise with powersteering, but there is a more loader noise that happens for a bit. I didnt know if anyone else had the same noise. Might just be a normal thing?
