Vr power steering pump.
Hi i have a problem with my mrs vr wagz when you turn left the pump go loud as all f**k unlike when you turn right. Its leaking power steering fluid aswell.
Is the whole pump under pressure and is it hard to replace it at home ?

Holdens if your not in one your behind one
pump is only under pressure when the car is running, easy to fix yourself
Ok cool thanks.
Whats the best way to do it.

From the description, it sounds more like a steering rack issue - or if it's been losing a lot of fluid you may have air in the system which you will need to bleed out. The pumps can be overhauled yourself with an "O" ring kit (see how-to). You should find where the fluid is leaking from, otherwise you may be replacing the wrong part.

Real cars are steel cars.
As above, if the fluid level is OK then a noise when turning in one direction only would more likley be a rack fault.
If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?
Well its got very low fluid due to a big leak because off a o ring.
I am just going to replace the whole pump.
how do you bleed air out.

Put the car up on stands and turn the wheels from lock to lock half a dozen times.
