Power Steering Pump questions
OK, the pump on my 01 V6 Accord is making a lot of noise, especially when turning. I moved the resevoir when I replaced the alternator and since then its been messed up. I had lots of bubbly fluid and air which I bled out. The fluid doesn't bubble up anymore after bleeding but looking into the resevoir it seems to be churning a bit. The pump seems to be fine except fr the noise sand I'm not sure if I have any options before replacing it or not.
I had a similar problem with my '94. I emptied the resevoir to clean up all the gunk at the bottom. I cleaned it out, replaced the fluid, and hooked it back up to the hoses. It never seemed to be the same. I constantly had bubbles building up. After a while it seemed to go away, but in the winter especially, it gave me a lot of noise. Eventually the pump died just last winter, almost three years after the little cleaning incident. I replaced the pump and voila, no problems with anything. No noise, no bubbles, no nothing. I still don't know to this day what I did, or if it was just the pump going out.
So in answer to your question, I have no idea what the heck is going on with your PS system
but there's my story
