SP,

I have had this one. Its a dealer visit and effectively a "dry bush" - not good in any situation , but more especially on a car

They should pack it with grease and all will be well, forever. Mine was done 2.5 years ago and never heard it again. What I would say is that it is strange to occur at this time of year as it is so wet, mine was in the heat of summer !!

All this talk of dry bushes and wetness is really too much for me............good luck  L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

SP,

1. In February 2007 a TSB was issued regarding "Steering Gear Noise". Vehicles with 20" wheels were affected, Vin-range 5A901924-5A904376. The noise was attributed to the hydraulic oil passing through the steering gear damping valves.
Action - Renew the steering gear damping valves (steering gear damping valve repair kit QFW500030).

2. In July 2007, a TSB regarding "a squeaking noise from the bulkhead area when turning the steering wheel". This was attributed to "power steering fluid contamination".
Action - flush the steering system with fresh fluid and renew the steering gear and reservoir.

3. In October 2008, a TSB affecting Diesels (Vin-range: 900302-167471), RHD gasoline (Vin-range: 900109-167471) concerning "squeak from the steering column area on rotation of the steering wheel". The cause was "the power steering pinion seal lacks lubrication and dries out".
Action - Add the specified PAS fluid and additive to the power steering system and operate the steering to lubricate the pinion seal. Malaysia Boleh!

I sometimes have the sqeeking too, but it is very, very quiet I almost can not hear it. I never thought about it being a possible problem but now after you mentioned it I recognized when the car was in the garage a few weeks ago that the steering fluid is a bit low.

I told them to fil it up and never checked it. Perhaps I'll have to have a look at it and give them a friendly call...

Well, after all I shouldn't care, I still have warranty for another 50tkm and 2 years from them. If they are too stupid to fill up some fluids they may pay new steering racks or whatever can become broken...

What is a "bush"? Do British woman have such thing?!
