just got a service and new mounts for the car :)
i thought that'd fix the clicking/squeaking sound when i steer at really low speed but it hasnt, seems to have come back and be more frequent.
any ideas before i have another word with my mechanic?

So i jacked up the car , tightened and voila.....fixed the problem !
if its a squeaking noise when u move ur steering wheel left and right, and the noise you could say it sounds like a dry peice of rubber being rubbed on a dry peice of glass then it most probably b your steering rack which is a common problem on the ep3. Ive had this issue aswell as many other ep3 owners. It can b fixed by just pulling back the rubber boot on ur steering rack and spraying lube inside to lubricate. Thats what my mechanic did almost 3 years ago and i havent had the problem since.Quote:
