Hello!
There are some very strange noises coming from my e30 when I turn the wheel. These are a lot worse when cold but the happen when dry steering and when near the lock stops when warm.
I have attached a video to show you. https://youtu.be/o-x3UzoS4Uo
Any ideas?

Check the fluid level, it sounds like cavitation to me.

As above, check fluid level, then check tension/condition of belt and pulley.

Fluid was great and the belt and pulley looked in good nick. Weird.
