hello people

i got a sc400 uzz30, its been parked up for over a year just got it started the other day and after a couple of hours my power steering motor starting making sounds like theres no fluid.

i checked the fluid it was full, its never leaked before and no signs of fresh leaks either. the power steering is still working fine, just noisy.

is there anyway to fix it without changing the motor? if i bleed it, will it fix the noise?

Hey guys I think I have the same problem as aleem at the moment. my power steering just started to make a strange noise every time I go for a drive. It gets worst when I turn left and right.

Does anyone know what I should do??? Thanks

Muhammad,

I went to HK a couple of years ago, my car sat dormant for 3 weeks straight.

When I got back, the next day the steering was heavy as, couldn't drive the car.

I got on the SC forums and found which bits to buy, ordered a seal kit and got the local dealership to rebuild the power steering pump.

Problem completely resolved, didn't cost the earth either :-)

Do a search to find out which parts are needed for a rebuild.

But check for air in the system first - low fluid level.

Yeah check for air as Peter said, but most likely your pump needs a rebuild. General ballpark figure is about $300 (what I paid for my mechanic to carry it out anyway) for a rebuild.

It's pretty common for them to do this during Winter.
