Jake Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 My car has started to make a loud and high pitching screetching noise for a few seconds when starting from cold. It seems to be related to the steering because the noise charges note if I move the steering wheel when it's making the noise. I've checked the power steering fluid reservoir and it seems to be full up although the fluid is rather a brown colour. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks.
