There's some concerning noise coming from my power steering pump. It kinda sounds like it's running dry.
Before dumping money into a new pump I would like to hear your opinions. Can i just be something as simple as a clogged hose or air in the system?
Here's the video link:
It's a 98 Defender td5


Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
 
Is it 100% the pump and not the idler pulley ?
Water pump is run off the back if I remember correctly.
Are the pumps particularly expensive?
 
You could pop the belt off and spin the idler by hand just to check. Cheaper than a pump.
Regardless it certainly doesn't sound very good that's for sure.
