Power steering pump whining - simonson1982 - 05-10-2015

Just had to change the spring tensioner on my aux belt so had to move the power steering pump out the way. I didn't disconnect any of the hoses, just pulled it forward for better access. But now it's all back together it's whining when turning! Any ideas?

Belt too tight?


RE: Power steering pump whining - Paul_13 - 05-10-2015

All the bolts back in on the pump?

Got enough fluid in it ?

All bolts back on pump im pretty sure. There's two 6mm Allen bolts and a 13 mm bolt on the top. And would the belt being too tight cause it to whine?

Got it sorted. The fluid level had dropped! Cheers guys

If the fluid level has dropped its worth checking of you have a leak.
