Hi Jazz
I think too common already. Mine just happened recently. I didn't notice in the past 1yr.

But I think yours may be considered "normal" by TCM. The reason for saying that is that when I brought my car to TCM on the steering wheel noise, the noise sounds like rubbing sound. I could hear the sound even if I turn the steering slowly, such as going up or coming down MSCP. During the testing by TCM technician, he identified the problem within minutes. However, he highlighted to me that the motor sound is normal if we were to turn the steering fast, which he demonstrated by turning the steering to the limit (i.e. more than your 200-250 degrees). Since you hear the sound only if you turn the steering fast, then TCM will say it is normal. Took them quite long. Appointment time at 9.30 am and ready for collection only at 2 pm. They said quite complicated because they have to dismantle parts (-- may be smoke me only). Do share with us if TCM tells you the same thing. Thanks.

Hi HumbleCar
Did they really smoke u? Terrible.... I think sthing what ppl say are bs oni.
Btw, if we hear there is a little "tick" sound when turning the steering, i think that is consider the real "normal" kua.
Regards.
HumbleCar:
Hi iagree, it is not the 'tick' sound. It is motor sound. Very obvious one. Dunno he smoke me or not leh. But he did demonstrate by turning steering fast and can hear the motor sound. The "tick" sound can hear only if I sign then turn. When we turn at MSCP (either going up or down), we don't signal. So no sound.

Hi HumbleCar
Motor sound? Not too sure how it sounded.
When you on your signal, and then you turn your steering at certain degree, there surely a tick sound (i thk that tick sound is to tell the steering to OFF the signal when you turn the steering to the other direction. e.g. you wanna to turn left, u on your left signal, then you turn ur steering anti-clock wise at certain degree it will hv a tick sound. after that when you turn close-wise, the signal will be off.)
Not sure...

I would advise you to send your car to Tan Chong for a free diagnosis since it is under warranty.

I don't think its possible to see power steering fluid leakage. Simply because...the Latio does not use any power steering fluid. It uses a motor.
so hehe, i can only imagine that bro bending to look under his car after reading your advice. keke
clarence:
Carmodz,
Do you know if Latio uses electric or hyraulic power steering?
