Ok so i have had the cordy for a few months now and bar a tax disc she hasnt needed anything. Well this is begining to change! She has developed a rattle/noise/woosh that is cant quite describe or place. When accelerate hard or normal it sound like air rushing but creating a rattle at the same time. I thought at first it could be a heat sheild rattle of some sort. But i am not so sure. The idle is lumpy and on the way home from work having a "spirited" drive with an A3 came off a roundabout and nailed it in second at 4000 and it just didnt pull like it should. A faint smell of oil apeared so i slowed down and nursed her home. The oil smell has gone but teh power hasnt returned. To add to this she seems to be leaking power steering fluid and its creaking and whiring on occasion. Although this can be traced to a split steering arm boot (i think?) also i have a strong suspicion a CV joint is spitting its dummy as well!
Off to the garage this week to be looked at but anyone got any ideas?
