Re: Another weird caravan noise.....

Can you duplicate it sitting in your driveway? Front or back of the van? Is the surpentine accessory belt tensioner working? Start it up and watch it. It should bounce slightly.

You can change your own power steering fluid with a turkey baister. Just suck the fluid from the reservoir. Refill. Drive it around a few minutes. Now repeat the process 3-4 times. Not sure about 05s but some vans have filter screens in the reservoir that get clogged and create a squeal.

A worst case scenario would be a cracked or worped flex plate in the tranny. Not extremely common put I've read a thread or two about it in the last months.
