I have just recently started to get a whining sound from the power steering of my 1999 TD5 110.
It has got gradually louder. Could this mean that the power steering pump is about to go?? The strange thing is that the noise gets louder with the amount of revs.

Thanks.

Id check your PAS fluid level first before you condem your pump as you might have a leak .

Just checked the PAS fluid level, an it needed plenty. Just about to start and trace where the leak is. Are there any common places where the hoses go??

Many Thanks

Just got under the bonnet, and had a good look at the steering box, and the pump. There is definitely steering fluid leaking from the pump, but not the box. Access is pretty difficult, and I don't have the correct sized spanners to get to the hose connections on the pump. I think I might order a new pump and try and do the work myself.
How tricky is this??
Anyone got any good ideas on where to get hold of a good value/decent power steering pump???
I have just seen one on fleaBay for £109.00.

Any info or tips on how to change the steering pump would be gladly welcome.

Thanks.
