chrishill 0 Posted March 2, 2006 when i first got my valver many moons ago the PAS belt needed changing and it made a bit of a squeal when on full lock, also the steering when parking was pretty heavy. I would have thought if it was the brakes you'd be able to 'feel' something while braking, I know I could when mine were going. The more common noise with a wheel baring going is a drone... so i'll stick with what I said and suggest you get the PAS belt and pump checked if topping up the fluid doesnt help.

iow_corrado_g60 0 Posted March 2, 2006 ok if it does need changing is it an expensive fix?> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted March 2, 2006 nah not really, i think it cost me about £40 as part of a service for the belt! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
