Title: Quick question on PS
Post by: no1trancefan on June 7, 2013, 13:20
I fixed my whinning pump yesterday with a full flush and bleed after.

I have only bled it once since flushing it with new fluid.

The noise had completely gone but i hadnt taken it for a run only done the lock to lock and hold 2-4seconds and back again about ten times, first time used it moving was today after 25mile  trip to work its hummed again. Fine during journey. Think i should just bleed air out again?

Just asking as i used one of those suction things to drain the oil out the reservoir and wonder if may have a bit of air in.

The system is actually very good at self bleeding, so any noise is most likely just wear in the pump.
