Lately, now that diesel prices have died down a bit, I fixed an electrical problem, and so on, I've been driving my 300D again, and I've noticed something making a big rattling noise at idle, from the engine compartment. That's not really new, of course - what is, is that the noise goes away if I turn the steering wheel either direction enough to "feel" the wheels turn. Any idea what might be making it quiet down when I do that, and how I can make it be quiet all the time instead of just when I turn the wheels? Stuart, I would bet it is a loose power steering pump. There should be 3 bolts holding it to the bracket. Or maybe a loose pulley Regards, Jim Friesen Phoenix AZ 79 300SD, 262 K miles 98 ML 320, 140 K miles
