the cold weather affect your car?
 

You guys driving the turbo DSM, do you guys get the power steering noise? I seem to get it when its really cold and goes away after it gets warmer. Even turning the steering wheel makes a screeching noise and when going into speeed bumps it screeches. Looks like i need to replace it soon. If any of you guys have a solutions bring me up some Q's + A's.

DSM's always make a lot of noise when cold. Make sure all your belts are fresh and tight.

No power steering = No Noise

make sure you got enough fluid in there

I've checked. everything you could possibly think of. Everything looks fine. I think its the pump going out on me :(

The fluid thickens up like crazy when it's cold, and the pump is probably cavitating. As it warms up, it stops, and so does the noise.

I don't drive my car in the winter...(or much at all).

Wondering why this is internal's tech? This is ually for rods/pistons/etc.

Thicker fluid will flow less freely than thinner fluid, some power steering noise from the pump is normal under frigid temperatures.
