I’ve been experiencing this noise off and on for quite some time but it’s becoming a more repeatable event and so I thought I would mention it here.
Not sure exactly how to reproduce it, but it seems that when I have been stuck in stop/start traffic for more than 5 or 6 minutes I hear this loud gurgling noise. It’s hard to explain, it’s a deep noise that makes me think of a liquid gurgling, or even coming to a boil, but without actually sounding like that. The other symptom is that I can “feel” the gurgling through the steering wheel.
It stops after about a minute, and I can feel the vibration in the steering stop the same time as the noise, so I’ve no idea what it is. Possibly it’s related to my power steering fluid leak?? And for all I know it happens at speed too, but just can’t hear it?
Anyway, I’m getting the leak fixed on Wednesday, I’ll bring it up then.
Good luck with it all.
Have you checked the level of your power steering fluid? I heard similar sounds when most of mine leaked out years ago.
Hey Josh, I haven’t looked but that’s what I’m hoping it is, so when they fix my leak on Weds the problem will just go away. Thanks for your answer.
And thanks RB for your support as always
