I hope someone can shed some light on this issue as it has me, and a number of other mechanically minded types, stumped.
My 2.0D X-Type (64,000 miles) has, within the last fortnight, developed an annoying whine when steering to the left. This starts to happen once the car has been driven for about 8 miles, so I assume that something has warmed up by this time.
The whine is relatively low pitched and happens at all speeds when steering left (either a few degrees or a full lock left circle). It stops immediately when I straighten up. It does not happen when driving straight or steering right.
All of the following have been checked and found to be fine:
Power steering fluid level
Steering wheel wobble
Brake pads
Brake discs
Suspension
Tracking
Tyre pressure
Tyre tread depth
I hesitate to delve deeper without having a better clue regarding the potential problem. Any clues or shared experiences would be gratefully received.
