dilocruzy Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hi there, I know very dense... The power steering level stick has "hot" and "cold" marks on oppsosite sides with two grooves in the midle, where do we take a reading from? Thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Well basically the level should be up to the hot mark after driving when it's up to temp, and at the cold mark when the engine's cold. That's it really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilocruzy Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 Result!!! Reason is, I got a bad squeek form the ps pulley, it went away momentarily with some wd40, but comes back on. The level is half way down the stick under the "cold" mark could that be the reason for the squeek? ill top it up tom, see how it goes and hope not to phone mr.T for a new pump.. dammm!

Chris Wilson Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Are you sure it's not the belt istself making the noise? Try a small squirt of WD 40 on the inside of the belt away from the PAS pump, say at the alternator. if the noise still goes, albeit temporarily, it's the belt. I am going to do exchange pumps with new bearings shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilocruzy Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hi Chris, Had it changed 6K miles ago, and the noise goes away when i spray some wd40 behind the pulley (ie not the belt itself) so not looking good... Keep me posted on the pumps bud, Thanks! Are you sure it's not the belt istself making the noise?

Chris Wilson Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Spraying behind the pulley will inevitably get some on the belt, too. I was convinced I had a knackered pump on a car the other week, but it was a (new) belt. Some makes don't "suit" the 2JZ-GTE, I sent a batch back and the replacements never give any trouble. Humour me and try spraying elsewhere than near the PAS pump, it just MIGHT save you a new pump. No promises, but maybe worth a try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilocruzy Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 If it wasent so bloody cold I would go out and try it now! LOL, ill try that first thing. If it doent help tho, how much you recon am i looking at for a new pump ( or bearing jobby) and labout at T´s? Spraying behind the pulley will inevitably get some on the belt, too.

dilocruzy Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hi Chris, Tryed spraying the belt away from the PS pulley and no results, then Topped the resevoir up with the Dexron III as suggested by pannel members, the squeeking seems to have disapeared for now... I hope thats a fix!!! Otherwise would be great to know how those refurbed pumps are shapping up. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
