I have a recently acquired Peugeot 405 estate with power steering. When parking up I hear a hissing noise after I move the steering wheel.The noise seems to emanate from the steering wheel itself.
Is this normal?
Yup - it's the pressure relief valve. Only happens when the steering is heavily loaded like with the wheel at full lock. If it happens when just moving the wheel with the car stopped, I'd check the tyre pressures.
That's reassuring
Thanks for the swift replies.
