It's been pretty cold out here lately and I figure it is normal ( I hope!) for the groaning sounds that have been coming from steering the car fisrt thing in the morning on 0-20 degree days.

The first time I turn the wheel a full turn I also hear a slosh sound as well. What is this? It sounds bad, but again, all noises are only on very cold days.

Any insight appreciated on this matter.

Thanks!

Fairly common, might be time to do a Hydraulic system flush. Use the Pentosin fluid though.

Dude, you artic white beast is HOT! I've never seen an RS in that color, is it custom order?

Yea it was a custom order. I've become fond of the Daytona grey althoug I still love mine.

You should post some more pics of it.

Mine did that right after our first cold snap. Got better but not gone, felt a bit sheepish at the mechanic as soon as he went to open the cap. Also found a loose hose clamp that was seeping that was the likely cause of the fluid loss.

Very nice, can't wait to see more of your car.

If the fluid level gets low enough to cavitate the pump, you will get some air in the lines too. Then Daveykids fix will also be required.
