Noise - squeak in engine bay [video]
« on: 23 April 2009, 10:37:14 »
Please take a look at this video:

as you can see something is coming out of power steering pump area.
I am quite sure that this pump is making that noise, but not 100%.
I tried to switch kompressor on and off and no difference. Tensioner is fine, alternator is fine.

Thanks in advance for any ideas :)

Power steering works perfectly, fluid level is ok and there is no movement.

Strangly since i ran the engine without fanbelt on (to see where is the noise coming from) the noise is not that loud anymore (with fanbelt back on)

...different wheels position? ::) ::)

Just so you know, replacing fan belt helped :)
There is no noise now :)
