My thought's too, doesn't have to drop by much for it to start squealing.

Is the HICAS light on?

yea the light is on in the bottom panel where when you turn the lights on it say lights it say it next to that lights light and glows red.

Orange lights are warnings.

Red lights are danger signs.

 

If it's red and you ignore it you are breaking something.

 

Top it up mate until the light goes out. then all your winning will stop.

I think I've got exactly the same noise on mine. Remembered this post today, so went to have a quick look... Can anyone tell me where to find the power steering fluid header/level on my NA?:rolleyes: About the only top up type header tanks I spotted were brakes, screen wash and coolant! Also a round black tank labelled in Japanese.

 

 

Cheers

HI

 

I tried toping it up but the winning is still there also light was still on i used Catrol TQD 111 which the 200sx takes there was no states on my car so i assumed it would be the same. so i thought i would take it for a run hoping it would go around the system and the noise would stop but when i checked it again it was really low so i think i hav a leak.

 

Also would i need to bleed it would that help.

The spec for the fluid is Dexron II type.

You don't need to bleed it as such but fill it up and do a couple of turns lock to lock then check it again and top up.

 

Hose leaks are pretty common on these cars :(
