Power Steering Possibly?

[scottwaltonuk]

Hi All
I have a noise when I start the car from cold (2006 cdti) when I turn the steering wheel. It kind of judders at the front and whirrs a bit. It has stated getting worse. When the car is warmed up that issue seems to go. Does anyone have any ideas. My first thought is pump or rack

Cheers

Open bonet and ask someone to start and steer the wheels to locate the problem.Seems like power steering but not sure.Does the steering liquid leak?

It would seem it was the power steering fluid, it was crazy low

Then you have a leak somewhere. The PSF should not drop low, it is not like oil which gets burnt as part of the combustion cycle.
