Removing the power steering pump
The majority of cases of NOISY power steering pump operation are caused by contaminated fluid in

replacing the power steering fluid tank ALWAYS. Fit the new tank correctly, ensuring that the tank
cap and breather are exactly as specified in the respective vehicle layout to prevent infiltration,
which will contaminate the power steering fluid. Then fill the power steering system with fluid and
bleed and perform another pump function test. Only replace the power steering pump if the
problem persists. (Ref: Technical Information No. 1695 _ December 2008)
