Hi guys need your help again :( . My car seems to be cursed or somthing since somthing bad always happens one after another. For the last couple of days there has been some screeching sound when ever i turn the steering wheel. The sound isnt coming from outside but inside the car, so doubt its the steering pump or anything. Im not good at identifying car parts but would it be that i need some grease for where the steering wheel is mounted to. Cheers guys
check your power steering fluid, that would be your first thing to do, if it is low then it could cause such things, can you get a video?
havnt had internet access for awhile but the technician has a feeling it is the plastic rimg or somthing that the steering wheel links to that is rubbing against somthing.
if you can, take apart the plastic pieces yourself if you have not already, i think they are right
Yeh im gonna try it probably on wednesday when i have a day off at uni. Any idea of how to take the steering wheel out? Its just the airbags that im worried about.
ehh i wouldnt touch it if you have to take the wheel off, if its under warrenty then take it to the dealer, but if you have no choice, then disconnect your battery for a few hours and it should keep the air bag from deploying, it is scary and i would not do this myself
yeh i thought it would be risky so i booked my car in early this morning to get it done tommorow. Hopefully all works out and thanks for the replies :).
sorry to res-erect this post but im kinda having the same problem. its not really loud its like a little squeak every time i turn the wheel. if you got anything done at the dealership can you tell me what they did.
I've never heard that noise in my 04 but I'd be curious to know what it turns out to be.
i think its just the rubber grommet that seals it through the firewall, but thats just my guess
