02 1.8 noise from steering/engine - keith565
Hi Guys. i've been reading the forum and think it is great, so i thought it was time i joined, but with a problem.
my car is driving me nuts. everytime i turn the steering wheel to the left i get a noise similar to an airplane engine drone.
it only does it when i turn left, as soon as i straighten the steering wheel up or turn right it stops. any idea.
second problem, recently my engine has started to make a tapping noise, not all the time but some of th time, again, any ideas. thanks in advance for any help.

Airoplane engine drone could be worn brake pads resting on Disc,though my friends Mondeo had a noise like this & thought it was Pad/Caliper/disc noise ,but it turned out to be a broken front n/s suspension Spring ?

My tapping noise turned out to be due to the pully needing a replacement job done £80 (not main dealer mechanics though),hope this may help others too,if not yourself.
