Hi all. 2000 312D LWB 180k and I have only just bought it. Its been sitting for a while I think.
Has a loud whine when putting the steering under load all the way lock to lock, this changes in pitch with RPM. Steering feels OK tiny hard spots but I dont think id notice if it wasnt for this problem. LH of the rack has a small leak so resivour was on min so I used Lucas Stop leak and pulled what i could out of res and filled with that (old oil looked ok). Checked all hoses and clamps they seem fine. The fluid is very very foamy after turning even for a short while.
So im leaning towards getting a new pump? What you guys think?
I have read all I can on here about it
Cheers
