calsupra Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The other day i noticed some oil drops under the front end of the supra so i looked under the bonnet and the bottom of the power steering pump looked abit wet. So i topped it up and bled the air out. When i started her up earlier all was fine until it warmed up then it started to whine really loud and when i revved it or turned the wheel the whining got alot louder. I made a video of the noise here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1QS3GmgDok&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morzy2k5 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Sound like the power steering pump is goosed!! But from that video..it looks like the nut holding the power steering pump pulley is missing in the centre of the pulley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor69 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Defo the power steering pump, when I fitted mine to this engine it made the same noise until the fluid got round it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 As above, though are you sure nothing is touching the belt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calsupra Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 As above, though are you sure nothing is touching the belt? Nothing's touching the belt, the noise seems to go a lot quieter after I take it for a drive but you can still hear a feint whining. And the steering feels abit funny too, how can I repair this?

Scott Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Bearing in the PS pump sounds finished. Is there anything holding the PS pulley on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Take off the reservoir, drain it out and flush it through with petrol or brake cleaner until the flushing agent runs clean. there's a nylon gauze filter in the lower part of the reservoir and it *might* be choked up with sediment. Don't poke at it, or you'll put a hole through it. then air dry, refit and fill with fresh fluid. Top up with engine idling, if it foams up leave it a few hours for air to percolate out, and top again. If this doesn't work it's possibly the pump needs rebuilding. i keep service items in stock, but it's not a job for the kitchen table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
