I just found this browsing.....When the fluid is low and you add some ... it still needs more after you run it for awhile. The reason for that is that the pump pumps the fluid through the lines and gets out the air in them. Keep filling and checking after you start the car and turn the wheel from side to side all the way. Could be a possibility??????

does it make a whinning noise?? my done this when the fluid was low. but why has the ASR light come on???
Also if your fluid is low wheres it going??? mine turned out to be the steering rack was gone
Low fluid
steering rack

That's excactly what I thought. I am on a mission tomorrow to get to the bottom of this. As I know the car was running great before I took it in. I remember he metioned lamba sensor or something as a fault but it only had a mot on Friday!!!

Got my car back this afternoon now running as it should be if not better.:smiley:. The ASR light was due to a blown fuse and the power steering was noisey due to power steering fluid been spilled during doing the service(not sure how) and it not having enough. So he refilled it. So cam belt, water pump and a good service ...I am now ready to enjoy the car. Thanks guys for your help, much appreciated.

He flushed the old fluid out because he said it was very cloudy and smelly apparently it should be clear so he refilled with new.Is this right?He also did all my filters including pollen filter. Best bit about it all is the bill is been paid for by the garage I bought the car from.
