Yes, this IS the sound of a bad power steering pump
I had time to get under my MCS JCW this last weekend to check it out. First I disconnected the power to the PSP fan to see if that was the culprit. No such luck. Then I disconnected the power to the pump and the sound was gone. This pump is screaming for replacement. Now, does anyone have a source for a good price on a rebuilt? I've seen comments that some rebuilts can be noisier than new ones, but the new ones are so expensive! Yikes! I am doing the repair myself and will save a lot doing so, but the cost of these pumps is outrageous! Anyone got a source suggestion for me? Also, I've read that replacing the fan AND the reservoir are also recommended. Anyone have any comments on that issue?
