Awful noise on cold starts (video)
I meant to post this a week back but basically since buying my car on cold starts on a morning it's making an awful whining and cracking noise.
It goes after 2 mins warming up etc - any ideas? Power steering belt? Pump? It really sounds horrible and outside is much louder than inside.
Cheers

Steering pump could be on its way out if the fluid is fine but it really does sound like air in the system.

Do you know what the recommended stuff is mate? It's a JDM if that makes any difference.

Change the o ring under the top 90 deg elbow on top of the pump, its pulling air until it warms up a bit, then the expansion seals it, it will only get worse if you don't.
