Just came from Ventura Volvo which is an 80 mile drive,
clear into the next county. Worth the drive because of one
very good mechanic that works there. He corrected several
problems that had been caused by the careless attitude of
two other dealers that are much closer to where I live.
The power steering noise is indeed caused by the
fluid being too low,not because of an inadaquate
resevoir,but because of the older style cap and
dipstick that allows the returning fluid to be sprayed
upward,and out in a very fine mist,escaping from the
underside of this older style cap,thus allowing the
fluid level to become low,without any evidence of oil
spots on the garage floor.
There is a later version,part number 9485561 Cover
which was installed that should clear up this problem.
Topping off the P/S fluid did do away with the noise!
