VY Power Steering WHINE

[somerton81]

Hi people,

can anyone suggest a remedy to my power steering whine. I've check my power steering fluid and everything is level and full. There is however air bubbles in the fluid.

I've checked the o-ring for deterioration however it seems to be in good order too. I though air may be coming in through a broken o-ring.

I thought of draining the fluid and going on from there, but saw a youtube clip about extracting possible air pockets / bubbles with a vac. Does anyone have any suggestions? Where could I find a vac for this??

Thanks people

The system should self bleed. Try relacing the fluid, the easy way is to drain with a syringe and tube and refill the resevoir a few times, starting the engine and turning the steering wheel lock to lock a few times in between (front wheels off the ground). Use Dexron 3 not PS fluid.
