Groaning noise from clutch or power steering when cold.


Im currently in central Australia and recently traveled over a very rough road. Actually used the 4WD mode for the first time. The trip involved some stretches of soft river sand and driving through water. I now find that when I start the car first thing in the morning there is a groaning sound, possibly a noisy release (Thrust bearing). This lasts for a few seconds. Iam starting to wonder if the noise is actually coming from the power steering as this "groans" when the engine first starts and moves. Once the engine is warm and I have traveled a few meters no noise exists. Can anyone help with the cause of this problem. Thanks
Its a 2004 T30 with 122,000 KM.
Thanks

Re:


Hi!

I have a 2002 T30 which also releases a "sigh of relief" the first time I start the car and start driving. I have been assuming that this is a vacuum pump release valve or something along those lines.

Anyone know what this actually stems from?

Re:


It could be that the serpentine belt is a little worn and needs replacing.

The Power Steering is Electric (Elec. motor in steering column inside dash area) and is unlikely cause of the sound.

Does it only do it when the Air conditioner is On?
