Hi there

 

I'm a newbie so please be gentle, I have a 05 galaxy diesel

 

When I turn the steering wheel I get big vibration through the steering column and a rubber against metal sound. The sound is the same noise that you would hear if the car was sat still on a painted concrete multi storey car park floor. This sound has only just started.

 

Should add that the steering is fine other than the noise

 

The car is due for a service in 2 weeks but I don't want to do any damage -_-

 

Any ideas

It sounds like the drive belt is skipping on the power steering pump pulley. It is unlikely that you will do any damage.

Thanks for the quick reply

 

Would a new belt shut it up ?

Or could the tensioner be at fault ?

Is that an easy DIY job or best to leave until service ?

Easy enough, look how the belt is routed, release the tensioner, remove old belt, put on new belt, re tension the tensioner.
