odd sound?

I topped up power steering fluid today with m6162 which I was told to use when I went to gsf.



So topped up checked the marker and was just under the max line, no problems.



Get in the car take it for a little drive, and 2 problems came up (may not even be linked) first one is a light squeak \ whine for a couple of senconds then it goes and keeps coming and going periodically. Whilst driving sounds like it is coming from back right, wheel.



Second problem I'm having is when I put the key in and turn it half way round theres a crackling sounding noise, never had it before. Also I can hear it when I turn the ignition off. It sounds like its coming from behind the dashboard.



The cars a vw golf 1.6 (petrol) 2001



Be glad of any assistance in finding out what these noises are.


forgot to add the whiney noise seems to come up usually when I turn right, if thats of any help.

Check the power steering pump belt.
