Adam_SG Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 When stationary or moving slowly when i turn the wheel quickly or slowly i get a whirring vibration from the wheel, i looked from the outside as my friend did it and my wheels vibrated shit loads!!! Very strange.... any one got any clues? Also do the turbos when below 4k but accelerating make a loud chugging noise that progresses in pitch - is this the build up to turbo 2? Cheers Ad.

I assume you have done the obvious and checked the wheel nuts are tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam_SG Posted August 12, 2002 Author Share Posted August 12, 2002 Yeah changed the brake pads twice ( Due to wrong ones being sent first) its been like it for the 6 months i have owned the car, it has new tyres /brakes etc.... the nuts are on fine.

Digsy Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Possibly another instance of PAS pump noise? Lots of people seem to be reporting this, but for some reason it never gets diagnosed at a garage or repaired. Have any of the people who have reported similar symptoms ever found out what was causing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Definitely sounds like the PAS pump, exactly the same symtoms when mine started to go. Check the oil level first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam_SG Posted August 13, 2002 Author Share Posted August 13, 2002 oh and any ideas on the turbo noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 I got a reconditioned one fitted, I think Toyota do a recondition kit for the pump from memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Adam, just a thought, have you checked the tension of the belt to the PAS pump? Most turbo issues turn out to be a hose off or split, check all the hoses first for leaks or splits, it only takes one of the small 1/4 inch hoses to blow off to screw up the function of the turbos.

Adam_SG Posted August 13, 2002 Author Share Posted August 13, 2002 Belts slipping sounds right to me, when they slip i would expect vibrating, where as a pump i feel would just make it more difficult to steer rather than vibrate. Well thats my uneducated opinion. it sort of makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
