Now that the weather has turned colder (less the 10 degrees C), the Power Steering has become very noisy when I start the car in the morning. This will last for about 5 - 10 minutes before returning to Normal - Any Ideas?

check the fluid level. its common for them to get noisy if its low in the mornings.

check fluid level have found by adding a power steering fluid additive for noise and seal problems have helped or eliminted cold noise actually had to over fill past P/S dip stick level

Thanks, I'll try that and see if that helps - Thanks
