hi guys;changed my o ring on low pressure side;think I expelled the air by going lock to lock loadsa times;pump/rack still squealing on occasion.i have checked high pressure hoses and can’t see any leaks;when cold if I start car steering heavy and squeals a bit;fluid level not dropping and no sign of air bubbles;when driving all seems ok ;only noticeable if I have to turn full lock to say get out of parking space;;seems easier if I rev the engine;;any advise please;cheers Mick

When was the fluid last changed. What colour is it

Car is Hawkeye 2006;97000 but has full main dealer history so fluid would have been done as per service schedule;colour is reddish I thinkwhen I changed o ring on low pressure side of pump;however when I expelled air ;bubbles from reseviour looked brownish

Only had cam belt changed 3/4000 Miles ago(2 yrs ago)

No bubbles in fluid;drained off fluid;was nearer black than red;jacked up front (wheels off ground)did full lock to full lock for 2/3 mins;no squealing ;checked fluid -no bubbles ;level good;dropped car;seemed good on drive round ;but still lumpy when turning from tight space on low revs;gunna check belt tension tonight???

Sorted;;well pleased;tightened tension on belt and that’s it;did look at it yesterday and seemed ok but then watched u tube video and tightened as suggested in video;belt must have been slipping under load ????
