All good Rich, i knew this already about wd. I only used it on the 1 idler pulley to see if it made the noise stop. And it did... The car isn't going to be driven till i get a replacement on the weekend.

Wattles i'll be going to ABC Bearings, they should know the size. I'll let you know when i get it... Any bearings shop should have what im after.

Went to Holden today and just bought a new Idler pulley. $35 not to bad. Repco had it for $45... Did the change over dis arvo and problem solved.
I was just going to get the bearing but the pulley had a bit of wear so i got the whole thing.

2013 VE SS Z Series Ute
Hey all

Just hopped in my VZ alloytec ute about 30 mins ago and just had this happen to me.
The car has a whining sound and the more you rev it the more it wines and when i turn aswell it whines more and the steering feels slightly different but not a whole lot.

Could it be low power steering fluid or need a new power steering pump?

PS. I am not the best mechanically so bare with me lol

Any suggestions would be fantastic.

Cheers

Know its an old post, but I haven't found anything else thats close. Having a similar problem, except the whining stops when under power or revs, and starts shortly after coasting or resting.
