Very noisy Power steering Mondeo help - trigger_mike
Hi, I have a 1996 Mk1 Mondeo TD, The misses has got home today saying saying it's making a funny noise.
Just had a look and when you turn the wheel it makes a loud groining noise.
Also it sounds a bit rattlely under the bonnet coming from the front left side under the Air Con pump where i have the belt and pulley I'm guessing for the injector pump.
Now would i be right by guessing the Steering pump is knackered?.
If so any idea what it's like to fit or worth it?
I only paid £250 for the car a year ago but until today it's been great.
Thanks!
