As above , posted up a while ago but backl round to it again as its still not working , now spec r tank was taken out and powder coated and since ints been put back in it now has given up

Now i did bleed the system and really not made any difference , and also had wheeels in air turning lock to lock and nothing

New fluid again , when i look in the power steering tank theres movment in the fluid now wheni rev engine , but at first prior to bleeding the system there wasn`t

Any ideas ? just dont think the pump could have died as it was woprking perfect before hand , and tips or is it a nw pump job


thanks

Originally when i first put tank back in , i started engine and turned wheel and got a loud screeching noise from under the bonnet and wheel was turning its self but since then nothing was that it dieing lol

 

i would say the pump is dead mate. they should never be run with out fluid in them as it also uses it to lubricate its self.

 

Was never run without fluid though , but think it must be pump , what else could it be really

 

I also to bleed the system of all fluid , replaced my bottle with a small empty container , and when starting engine my container was filing full of fluid , would this mean the pumps ok ?

 

is the belt going round with the engine or just slipping on the pulley?
