My Xantia is now making a creaking noise that I cannot locate.
The noise is only present when moving the steering wheel, and it seems to come from the engine bay. It is more noticeable when the car is parked with a warm engine for a few minutes, and then driven again. For example, I start the car in the morning, cold engine, hardly any creaking noises. Drive to the shops, around 2 miles, engine warms up, get there, 10 minutes later I get back in the car, start the engine and the noise gets quite loud. After a while it dissappears.
It drives me crazy!
Any idea where the noise is coming from? Dodgy drop links? Strut top? Steering rack?
Cheers,
GB
