I have a whining noise coming from my engine gets worse when turning corners only started yesterday. Could this be something to do with my power steering ?
Ramsay, please accept remote diagnosis will always prove difficult and invariably give the wrong information... However I’d be inclined to primarily check drive belts with the suspicion it may be one of the idler pulley bearings either on the way out or gone... obviously keeping your hands clear, it’s worth popping the bonnet and having a listen There is the tried and tested method of using a long screwdriver, as a stethoscope held to the casings and listening with a cupped hand on the handle to identify, if it is indeed a bearing It’s also worth visually check the belt condition
Power steering leak car now diagnosed but they can't find where the leak coming from. Now for the interesting bit took the car back to local Evans Halshaw as the Evan Halshaw I bought the car from 50 miles away from my home. My local branch now saying the car must go back to the branch I bought from ? Basically the car is sitting in a Evans Halshaw garage 2 different branches are disputing who's responsible. Car has a Evans Halshaw 3 month warranty also tool out an extended warranty. No Curtisy car available either not a happy customer
Oh dear, now maybe a good time to start documenting conversations I’ll stand by my statement above in regards to remote diagnosis..... Worst case the power steering rack is the culprit, replacement gets expensive and you’ll have to reassure yourself that repair has been effected and not simply fluid topped up!
Agree with the above. Record EVERYTHING you do/say and any replies. Go straight to the area manager and complain heavily. You have a warranty form them, they have to honour it. Bad luck with the car, hope it gets sorted.
Just in the middle of sending complaint to head office plus submitting evans Halshaw review will send update tomorrow not a happy customer.
Local Evans Halshaw topped up power steering fluid then inspected for leaks they informed me they tightened up some hoses then test drove the car to check for leaks. No leaks they told me ? Local Evans Halshaw told me to take back to branch I purchased the car from as the car was to get fully checked and the rear caliper replaced which has been fitted incorrectly by them a few weeks ago. Car still in garage getting power steering fluid leak fixed as it's still leaking ? Not a very pleasant experience with this car at all.
