Whine, whine whine.
« on: 21 July 2009, 20:21 »
My ps pump has been lairy as hell for ages now... so I swapped it today for an Ibiza item, "fixed" I thought.  For some reason it still whines like my ex (and ex pump).  It was fine before my mate took it off his car, so I am wondering whether the tensioner/alternator would get noisier when the wheel is turned due to more strain etc??  Anyone had a similar problem?  Diagnosing the source of the noise isnt as easy as I would imagine!  Also wondering whether a dodgy rack would make this worse??

mate of mine had the same thing he had 3 different pumps on it and another rack and everytime he changed something it fixed it for a few hours then it would come back. in the end we found the middle of the pas bottle lid had dropped in the bottle and when u started the car the pump was sucking it over the end of the low pressure feed pipe  at the front of the bottle crazy huh :laugh:
