Benyon Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I noticed my steering was making a funny noise last night and it felt funny to steer, Anyways i pop the bonnet i noticed the power steering pulley is not turning but the other pulleys are doing, the belt doesnt seem lose so im assuming the pulley has seized, has this happend to anyone before??

Chris Wilson Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Yes, the bearing in the pump collapses and then the rotor breaks up, and it seizes. Hasn't the belt melted yet???? I have a fully reconditioned pump here for sale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyon Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 How much is it? My belt hasnt gone yet, lucky for me i was only 3 miles from where i live. So does the pump have the Pulley on and how hard is it to fit? Im not too technical myself i was gonna run it into a garage next tuesday but if its easy enough to fit then i will have a go myself. I take it i will need a new fan belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 160 quid without an exchange unit. The pulley is on it, they are very easy to fit. i can supply a new belt with it, too. E-mail me at [email protected] or ring me on 07971-952084 Cheers. It's fully reconditioned with new bearings and shaft, and new rotor vanes and oil seal.

Benyon Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 I have just checked in daylight and the pulley is spinning, at night it looked like it wasnt moving, i still get the noise from the pump thou everytime i move the steering wheel. Does that still mean its the pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 worth a look/search for 'Crank pulley'.................just to eliminate this from enquiries so to speak..............it can often Screech when dying and the wheels on the floor and turning will load it up more.......
