Hi,

Started driving my 2006 Volvo s40 yesterday and had a noise coming from under the bonnet like I was revving the crap out of the car when I stepped on the accelerator.

I took it to a garage and was told it was probably the power steering pump or a leak somewhere in the lines. Mechanic topped up with power steering fluid and said he would have a look tomorrow. The noise is now gone unless I lock the steering wheel. The car was due for a service a couple of weeks ago.

If the power steering pump has to be replaced how much should I expect to pay and if it's a leak how much should I expect to pay? Is it possible the car was just low on fluid as it was due to be serviced?

Thanks,

Nicky
 
Totally depends on the car make and model. BMW and mercedes pumps can be up to €600 without labour.
