    The header tank has a filter in it that can get blocked. As it is easy to change and much cheaper than a pump or steering rack it makes sense to change that first. Normally noisy power steering is due to Air in the fluid or starvation of fluid on...

    If he was sure of the source of the noise... I wonder why replacing it didn't fix it. And why would he then replace something else that wasn't the source of the noise? I presume the F2 PAS pump is driven by a drive belt - has everything else...

    Are you sure it’s the power steering causing the whine, after all that work? And was the power steering fluid bottle changed?

    This is happening on mine I suspect its part number 9047 but there's so much Gibbins in the way its hard to see where its coming from. So I just fill 3/4 of a tank and live with it for now

    Removing the gear lever is a case of just pulling it up and off ! But, if it was only that easy. The gator should pull down away from the knob. Then the lower part of the gear knob has two plastic prongs which grip a recess on the stick. It does...

    It was apparently an intermittent wiring issue between the ecu and crank position sensor. Loom has been redone and so far everything behaving as it should. 🤷‍♂️

    Even if not in UK, I’m pretty sure you could post it over to Matt for the fix. It’s only the ECM you need to send - so a 6” by 6” light box. Great service from the company - a few here have used them.

    You know you can send away the Haldex ecm and have the ‘scrabble’ mod done, right? (Assuming gen4) Mine was scrabbling, had the mod, perfect now.

    i'm not in UK so that's not an option unfortunately - also, my question was primarily whether I can try to figure out whether it's diff or really the accumulator for which the scrabbler stopper mod helps

    This is exactly what mine did, a while after I rebuilt my diff. My hypothesis was that the slack diff bearings hide the scrabbling Haldex as there's much play in the gears. Removing the play with a good diff shows up the Haldex issue. There are...
