Picked it up
Well I picked up my 1996 2.3L estate GLE auto LPT today. Drove it back from Norwich to my home in Dartford. It didn't miss a beat. Very smooth through the gears no rattles or knocks. Engine lovely and what a pleasure it was.
However if I put it into full lock I'm getting a squealing noise. Steers absolutely fine apart from that. I am thinking it's probably the belt on the power steering ? Any thoughts please. Last edited by slowprop; Jan 13th, 2019 at 21:03. |

The power steering belt might be a bit loose and will need adjusting.
Mine is too tight (it's a long story) and does it when steering at low speeds. |

Like Luke said, the chances are the belt on the PAS is a bit loose. On full lock you are using all the available pressure from the pump so loading it up more, hence the belt only slipping/squealing like a pig when it's on full lock.

Mine will also do this, accompanied by a slight judder... The fluid probably had never been changed in 20 odd years, so I got one of those power steering fluids, emptied as much as I could, refilled, drove round for a bit and repeated.
Still not perfect, but improved.... jor

Welcome to the 940 fold I just changed both belts as mine was also squealing quite badly. Now as quite as a mouse ! Both my belts were pretty shot so worth changing for all they cost.
Lets see some pics of the new motor

Right guys. Thanks a lot. This seems like quite a common issue then. I will.have a look at it this week I am expecting a few niggles to sort but overall I'm really happy with it so far. I'm finding it quite refreshing to not have a car with infotainment systems and other technology I just don't need. My 15 year old isn't quite as impressed though
