Power Steering Pump

[R33_Cam]

Hi ppl.

i have a problem with my power steering whereas it will make a huge groaning sound when first started (cold start) and turning the wheel, but as the car warms up it gets less noticable, ive been told that it could be the fluid needs changing, fluid could be burnt?

i am getting this looked at this saturday, but the guy thats looking at it has asked me to see if i could find a power steering pump just in-case it is that, he doesnt usually work on lines so thats why he asked me to do it.

so to the point, does anyone in perth have a power steering pump laying around they want to get rid of, i mite not need it if it is just the fluid, but it is better to know that i can obtain the part if he needs it, then it can all be fixed in the same day........

its a R33 SI

thanks ppl......

cam, I had exactly the same thing..... it was the fluids. well, moreover the lack thereof.

I had a leaking line.

pull the lid off the reservior and check the fluid levels - will tell you pretty quickly whther it's the fluids.

same here on the s14

made a helluva nice noise

and then the noise got worse as less and less fluid

its like the line was chaffed

weird

anyways easy fix... A1 auto got some hose etc... changed it all bobs ya uncle..nice new fluid

it should be self bleeding in the sense its a pump etc

Zanda you were right.......

i popped down at lunch to see ken, and after him checking it and putting somemore fluid in it, it was fine, it was between the markers on the reserviour, but must have been too low......

Thanks to ken at hyperdrive, and dont laugh at me too hard it was an honest mistake!!! hehehehe

Cam, Not to worry, most of us have been through the same stress, only to realise a bit of power steering fluid would fix it:D
