Hello everyone;) I was finally able to pick up my grenadier yesterday🥳 Unfortunately, I noticed at home that my power steering makes a strange noise. I think it's not a normal noise, or? The filling level in the container was at maximum with the engine warm but switched off. The German instructions do not say exactly in which condition the oil should be checked. Does anyone have an idea? I tried to post a video but I always see the file is too big (7mb)
Thank you;)

Hello, I have the same issue with this annoying noise which never stops. (Attached video)

I’m having it while driving on the highway or while parking, it’s happening even if I don’t touch the steering wheel.

My car dealer and service center in UAE claim to be it’s normal.

Did anyone get this issue solved?

Mine makes the same noise. Interestingly my brother picked up his Grenadier the same day I did, and his does not. I think for me that answers the question of whether this is ‘normal’. The service manager at our dealer opened a ticket with Ineos. I am more than curious to hear the answer and will relay anything I learn.

The squealing comes and goes. Would I be correct the squealing is from when it under load. Ie turning in car parking lots vs driving in a straight line. Why does the steering fluid reservoir always seep fluid when you wiped it clean? I can’t understand why this is normal and built for purpose. Can Ineos engineers please explain? Would there be trapped air? Is there such a thing?
Good question. I’m going to look into what the system looks like. Having the manuals woukd be handy.

Someone stated the pump is electrically driven. If so it could be motor? But would also explain how the noise switches on and off when fluid flow is required. More like pump cavitation with air in fluid ?

Either way my last grenadier didn’t do it.

Still a frustrating aspect of the car when 4x4'ing off road with the window down, over 20,000km's and no change.

Sobald ich einschlage, op viel oder nicht viel. Lässt man das Lenkrad in Ruhe ist es nach 30 sek. weg. Muss das Öl bei laufendem Motor kontroliert werden?

what sort of noise... is it a high pitched "squeal" or a grinding noise or a vibration or does it sound like the pump is straining under load? it may be that the pump is cavitating because there is air in the system... a short video with sound would be helpful for us "armchair" experts!:LOL:

I have that noise also . It is a high pitch one . It only happens when you move the steering wheel. If you are stationary with hands off the wheel no noise , once you move it even a bit the noise comes back and then goes away after a few seconds once the steering is let go .
I noticed this when picking up my grenadier and i asked the dealer , they advised that they had noticed it also but it was the same across all the vehicles they have .
Not sure what it means yet.

I only notice a soft squeaking when I turn the wheel at lowest speed. It’s more like rubber rubbing against rubber .

I hope this doesn’t lead to the same problem I had yesterday with power steering error message and loss of power steering 😳

On other vehicles I have heard a 'Swoosh' type noise only when on full lock which is likely to be some form of bypass valve operating. Out with being on full lock I don't believe there should be any pronounced noises from the steering. Certainly isn't on mine. Yet! :rolleyes:
As for oil levels. It has always been my understanding that levels should be taken with engine off and ideally, cool.
