2007 CLS 320CDi, 67k miles.
Whilst parking up this afternoon and turning the steering to full lock the auxiliary belt started chirping. As soon as I let go of the wheel the noise stopped. With the engine speed increased above 1k there was no noise on full lock. I drove home (about 5 miles) and turned the steering full lock again there was no noise.
Earlier today I drove 80 miles including 3 hours in London traffic. Time for fresh PAS fluid? Could the pump be on the way out? I assume the auxiliary belt tensioner is not to blame?
Any ideas guys?
