Er34 Power Steering Problem

[shaks247]

Hey All,

I need some help with a knocking noise coming from the power steering pump/belt.

I had the cam belt and tensioners changed a couple of weeks ago and on the way home the power steering belt slipped and half came off the pulley. A new belt arrived this week and I replaced the belt. Drove the car to work the next day and all fine. The next morning trying to get out of the drive was a a mission. The steering was jerky, especially when reversing. Driving to work everything seemed fine but again when parking it felt jerky and a little heavy. Didn't take the car to work today and when I got home I checked the belt, which felt a little loose. So this was removed and then tightened up again. I checked the fluid level which was ok. On starting the engine it made a loud knocking noise. Re-adjusted the belt and bled the system, incase of an airlock and the noise is still there. There are also no signs of a leak.

Any ideas on wha the problem could be or what I should to fix this?

Check the engine oil. Also get the mechanic to check the idler bearings etc for the timing belt are ok
