Hi folks
I’m new to the Forum and the Seat brand
But after getting my last car written of by a lorry I’ve been looking at everything in my budget and decided that the Altea XL suited my needs and pocket.
I have just bought a 1.6 ecomotive 2013 with 122000 miles on the clock
My question is that after a couple of days ownership I have noticed a strange noise.
More noticeable at idle
For want of a better description it sounds like a washing machine pump when there no more water left in the machine
It’s not really loud but to me it sounds like a problem on its way.
Sometimes it’s louder than others and the sound doesn’t alter much if you depress the clutch pedal or turn the steering wheel or rev the engine
It’s not the air con fan or the air con pump
If I was going to hazard a guess I would say power steering fluid is low but I can’t see where to check the level?
Is it under the engine cover?
Any suggestions appreciated
Cheers
Steve
