Power steering pump issue?


Recommended Posts

My alt/power steer belts tight but slips some times letting off wicked screechy noises and Im guessing waking all the old people in the retirement village next door. Is it possible the powersteering pump is locking up? When it screechs I lose power steering and the alternator and tensioner both spin fine.

So people is temperamental power steering pump at fault a possibility?

No havent got a spare pump that will interchange nicely or spare fluid. Will have a better look tomorrow afternoon but more question was if someone had come across a temperamental pump before.

Also how much fluid does the system take?

Its not a belt issue. Pumps got a slight bit of play when belts off it. Is that something to do with whatevers inside or not? Worse when the belts cold and/or damp outside. If a pulley was out of alignment it would be like that 24/7 and fuck the belt relatively quickly.

Might revise my pulley setup again. Hopefully with v7 mani I can flip alternator back to where it came from which would tidy it up a hell of a lot and use factory tensioner.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
