A whinning noise is coming from the front end of my car.

I suspect it's something to do with the power steering pump. Since when the car is in motion (travelling through a roundabout) the noise increases with revs and the amount of lock applied. When the clutch is depressesd the noise disappears, but reappears when revs are given.

Also when the car is stationary in neutral or with the clutch depressed the noise appears when the steering is moved. Noticeably the pitch of the noise can be increased with the revs when stationary.

Anybody agree that it's a problem in the power steering area?

All comments appreciated. Thank you.

sounds exactly the problem I had. My power steering pump was gone. New pump and as good as new.

Any idea of the cost of the new pump itself? Expensive to fit?

Thanks.

I had a whine like that. Left her in the toilets at a petrol station!
