[V6-12v] Potential fan and power fluid issues..

[Tom Christiansen]

Remember to fill up with the appropriate fluid. Don't just use any old 
power steering fluid. Use the stuff recommended in the manual (Petosin or 
G00-2000 if my memory still works).

The moan could also be the steering dampers. They look like shocks and sit 
up against the firewall. When they dry out, the steering moans when you 
turn at low speeds. Grease takes care of the moan, but make sure you use 
some that's compatible with the rubber parts on the shocks. Please keep 
your filthy thoughts to a minimum when reading above paragraph... ;-)
