What do ye make of this, a prev perfect 2000 Honda Accord was parked up for 3-4 weeks, started it today and steering was heavy and very noisy, making a mmmmm machinery type noise which escalates at full lock.

Power steering fluid was very slightly below min line on reservoir, topping up doesn't seem to have helped.

Am trying to sell this car also - anyone have an idea of repair cost using either new or refurb/breakers parts?

Hoping ye car Experts on here have some good advice!

Thanks!
 
How loud is the sound mate?

My ATR makes a noise on turning when stationary, as did my 2.0 SE 6th gen. I don't think it's anything to worry about. I think it's just what they do.

Thanks for your reply - No, sorry maybe I should have emphasized more in OP - This noise is unmistakably off and accompanied by heavy steering, I've driven this car for 6 years so know it pretty well.

- Having no luck so far in isolating issue - The odd thing is that is came from nowhere as car was just parked up (although I acknowledge that this might have brought its own negatives etc.)

Anyway hopefully someone has some advice to help out!
