Help please - ST170 noisey power steering
I have a ST170 on a 53 plate with a power steering problem.
Car has a factors power steering rack about 4 months old.
genuine Ford power steering pump about 3 months ago.
correct Ford power steering fluid
new genuine hose with the pressure sender.
but now the pump is noisey, the hotter it gets, the noisier it gets.
reservoir has a lot of fluid movement in it, it looks like it's churning away.
fluid is still red coloured.
Been to a Ford dealer and they can't tell me the fault!
they are sugesting the PS oil cooler could be blocked.
ANY thoughts appreciated, my mate who ownes it is getting really fed up with it now

Hi mate try a forte power steering treatment sounds daft but this stuff is awsome i used it once on a granada with a noise pump empty the reservoir add the treatment, top up with fresh fluid, bleed it up and away you go. not saying it will cure yours but its a cheap way to start this stuff has to be used to be believed
