1.8 16v clio, noisy power steering

[dom1.4]

ive got a 1995 "valver" and it has only as i can describe as a liquid swirling sound coming from the steering wheel when i corner ....i have seen this in other 1.8 clios, how do i cure it ??
cheers Dom

I've had two valvers and they both had extremely noise PS pumps, think its just how they are.

Mine was the same, cured it by using slick 50 fluid and bleeding the system.

Start the engine, take the cap off the resivour and full lock each way a few times.

righty ok ive seen slick 50 in halfords but its only a 500ml bottle, do i just dain out and mix it in with the current fluid ?

you'll struggle to find one without noisey power steering 2 of 3 of mine were noisey

Forte power steering treatment, you can get it off ebay, iv used it in all 3 of my previous MK1's and although never completely cures it, has made all 3 99% better

How does the power steering treatment stuff work?

 

[Russ_16v]

literally pour it in and give it about 30 miles or so and you should feel a difference, it lubes and expands seals mainly

Might give it a go on my Megane which is also noisy. Have to work out how to drain the fluid first though!
