bump

 

anyone?

well i tried to flush the system. i had the engine running. then i unplugged the hose going into the reservoir and had the steering wheel turned left and right for about five times. fluid came out the first turn. after that nothing came out. so no fluid is pumped back into the reservoir. could it be that my pump is not working?

 

Yes, it could be bad.

Are you 100% certain that everything is installed as it should be? Or are there doubts?

 

is it making any noises when you turn the steering wheel?

 

+1

 

because it doesnt work...i am beginning to doubt i got the hoses on wrong...but can it be possible to have it on wrong? and no it doesnt make noises when i turn. so youre thinking its the pump also?

 

problem solved...i retighten the belt and let the car idle a few minutes. turns like a champ.
