The noise is like an electric motor dynamo noise, very off putting. My first thoughts is that it was a power streering pump on the top. Mines been replaced last week, by a large garage costing me £113 + fitting, noise was still there. I got it re-diagnosed and they have confirmed its the idler pulley, there are 2 idlers and 1 tensioner. Just to put your mind at rest about the wheel falling off. I had this on my peugeot 206 for about a year before eventually selling getting rid of the car. didn't seem to make any difference apart from making the noise. garage checked it out and couldnt find anything wrong with it (bit dubious about the quality of the garage though). Today i noticed my power steering making a noise. Ive attached a youtube video of the noise Here. Heres whats happening. Fluid is topped up (ive checked!) Noise happens with the slightest pressure on the steering in either direction. noise gets slightly louder at full lock (in either direction) The noise is like a "honk" but continuous. Its a similar noise to an old hydraulic ram extending under heavy load. This has happened once going forwards and once going backwards but only when you arrive at FULL lock not on the way too. Check the fluid level. Check the fluid condition. Power steering pump noise always comes from 1 of 2 places, abnormal fluid pressures or a problem with the power steering fluid. The two things that can cause abnormal pressures is a problem with the pump or a clog somewhere in the system. A failing pump will cause low fluid pressures and make it It’s possible the whining noise is simply coming from trapped air bubbles in your power steering fluid. If you suspect this is the case, you can confirm it by removing the cap from the power steering fluid reservoir and checking if any bubbles or froth has formed in it. You will need to flush the power steering fluid in order to get rid of I have a Peugeot 206 1.4 Look2 (2002 Reg) For the past 3 months when i turn the engine on the car makes a whirring/whining noise which has gotten worse in the last 2 weeks. I took it to the mechanics to get fixed and they did this: New suspension arms. Track Rod End. Power Steering Pump (£100) Plus £100 Labour. For example, a bad power steering pump could be to blame. There could also be a leak of the power steering fluid that needs to be repaired. 4. Worn Bearing. There are multiple bearings used throughout the car that could be causing a whining noise. You have bearings located on the drive pulleys, running the accessories. However, this same symptom can be caused by low power steering fluid, so a full diagnosis is needed. 7. Overheating Engine. Possible, one of the more alarming conditions is an overheating engine. When the crankshaft pulley can’t spin the serpentine belt, the water pump may no longer function. The water pump is necessary for keeping the engine aLJ2.
