PS pump whining.

that's the camshaft/timing gear grinding into the front cover :neutral: :leaving:

 

*leaving*

 

:lol:

 

I really shouldn't say that, he has a '98. It was the late series-1's with this problem (spring-loaded button that keeps the cam from walking forward into the timing cover would break, and start to drill into it) it makes a horrid whine/grind noise.

Perform the factory bleeding procedure. I'm tellin ya, it helps! I still do it each time I have it up in the air to change the oil and to my surprise, I still see some air bubbles form in the reservoir . Weird...... I'd be careful using certian treatments in the p/s system as the compounds in some of them could cause the seals in the rack to prematurely fail. just my 2 cents.....

My PS pump whines too. The cold really sucks. Once its warmed up it usually is not as bad. Not sure how all the latest years hold up but these older models are crap. And if its true and the latest greatest junk holds up your going to need to drop a new engine.
