Honda CR-V steering column making "zipping" noise?
 

When I turn my Honda CR-V steering column, especially for the first few mins driving, morning etc (it doesn't happen all the time), it makes a zipping noise, like zipping up a jacket, as the wheel turns. Any idea what this could be?

Doesn't sound normal to me. I would take it in to the Honda dealership where you bought it. What year is it??? I have a 2007 and it doesn't do that so I think it could be a problem.

1--it could be low on fluids2--check fan belt..may need to tighten it...deflection is one half to three quarters.in other words, if ya push down on it, estimate if it 1/2 or 3/4 pushable down.

First thing I would do would be to check 'power steering' oil level. If that is OK, and the power steering pump is belt driven, I would then check the belt tension.From what you describe it will be one or the other, and shouldn't be costly to rectify.P.S. If you find the oil level low, have a look to see if there is a leak, either at the pump or the steering box.
