Is it the belt or is it the pump? Mine squeels now and again if I hold it on full lock (which you shouldn’t do)

+ 1 on above.
Shouldn't the pump have a pressure release valve for this situation so it should not squeal, but it will change noise as the valve activates.
Ive had a few pas pumps die on my 200, each time it was the nose bearing in the pump itself.
On most pas pumps the bearings are lubed by the pas oil, but as the 200 has an extended nose shaft the bearing is just a std grease lubricated bearing and when it dries out or you have been wading (which is what I used to do lots of) the bearing fails and the pump is toast, once the shaft even snapped off!
Its no drama and can be driven quite safely, just takes more effort.
