#1: screeching noise when turning at low speed? Author: colinn, Location: IpswichPosted: Fri Nov 25, 2011 10:43 am ---- my car has recently developed this problem - the noise goes away when I straighten up and speed up. sounds like maybe slipping belt
power steering problem? fluid? pump? belt?
#2: Re: screeching noise when turning at low speed? Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Fri Nov 25, 2011 10:45 am ---- does the noise change with the revs?
#3: Re: screeching noise when turning at low speed? Author: colinn, Location: IpswichPosted: Fri Nov 25, 2011 10:47 am ---- no - don't think so - fairly constant pitch and then stops abruptly as I pull away

It may be worth checking the level of fluid and topping up if needed (I got mine from ASDA/Euro Car parts for bout £3 a bottle).
It sorted my problem for a while but in the end I needed to replace a pipe as it was broken. But for you it could be it just needs topping up.

thanks for the info - will check the fluid level over the weekend.

Author: E5GDM, Location: EssexPosted: Wed Nov 30, 2011 1:58 am ---- If its only recently started it can't be tyres, & if it's only there when your on lock it's probaby not slipping belts. More likely to be a power steering problem like low fluid or pump.
