Graunching noise right side
This sound has been coming from a cold startup and for the first mile and a half of driving I can only describe it as graunching noise - after a mile and a half it seems to disappear- putting the clutch in and disengaging the engine and revving the engine and the engine sounded smooth- so no engine problem .
today whilst examining under the bonnet I noticed that the reservoir cap on the power steering was loose I tightened up this cap and took the car out for a drive and lo and behold no noises obviously it was a struggling power steering pump as a result of a loose Reservoir cap . Glad it was such an easyfix wondering if I should renew the power steering fluid now in case of any air contamination that may have occurred |

Provided no muck got into the system while the cap was loose the fluid should be good. The power steering is self bleeding so the air will disappear in time. |
Thanks itv reassuring info to know that the power steering is self cleansing .
As you say,nice to have a cheap fix when one was anticipating something a bit more complex . And always good t o acquire new knowledge. |
