2016 Berlingo XTR 1.6 BlueHDI
When stationary, motor running and turning the wheel I hear a whining sound. The same sound can be heard when driving, usually constant, but varies a bit by rev. Sometimes under driving the whine disappear, but ususally it's there
I know whining sounds from power steering are quite common, but until now it's been completely silent and I would prefer it not to be any whine, of course
It's been running 15 000 km (the car is about 8 months old)
The pump is electric according to a car mechanic I talked to so this can't be any belt noise. See attached photo. The black cap is the filling cap for fluid.
I checked the oil level and it was actually about 2 cm above max when engine was cold and not recently driven. I haven't added any fluid, it is like that from the factory
(if I have checked correctly, I pull the stick, dry off and put it down again and screw it completely on, maybe I should not screw it on to get the correct level
The car is of course under warranty and I will complain to my dealer.
Is this something I should be worried about
