Default Steering
S Type 3.0. 51 plate

squeaky steering.
sounds like it's coming from behind the steering wheel.
I can only hear it when doing slow turns. In to my drive for example or a car park space.


Thanks in advance

if it is a 2003 and up then you may need a special additive from dealer $11..bulletin for this .if it is 2000-2002 then it may need a rack or a suspension piece may be starting to get noisy.. if it's every so slightly then it probably needs the additive. but make sure it hasn't had this additive before.

Power steering additive.
Dealer will know what you are talking about. Just pour it in the reservoir and turn lock to lock while holding rpm at about 2500-3000 - in neutral of course. Lock to lock about 5 times each way.

Does the fluid just go in or does it go in at a set temp.

do I need to take any steering fluid out first.

Probably wouldnt do any harm to flush it first anyway. Refill and put additive in.

I am sending TSB in 5 minutes btw.
