SpenB Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I have a loud squealing coming from I think my PAS area. Can anyone advise please. First thing in a morning when I turn the wheel but not after about 2-3 turns and all the time when on or close to full lock. Is this the belt that needs tightening or my dad says it could be the Fan belt that needs tightening? Cheers, SpenB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Yep, sounds like the PAS belt needs tightening. You should be able to turn the belt a 1/4 turn with your fingers. When levering the pump to tention the belt, be sure to lever on the pump bracket, rather than the pump body itself. If the belt is the correct tension, a dying pump can cause the belt to squeel.
