Hey guys, my 2000 Honda Crv is making a pinging noise on idle and while operation and now it has started to make a metallic noise which is intermittent that sounds like its coming from the Power Steering. The noise doesn't increase when turning the wheel but the metallic noise comes while driving or after engine has been revved here is a video of the noise, any help would be appreciated

Thanks!

 

Is it just me, or does that belt look like it is slowing down when that noise is happening?

 

That grinding noise sounds like a bad bearing somewhere on an engine accessory. Luckily, it is easy to track down which one on the CR-V because each accessory has its own belt off the crank. Just take them off till the noise goes away. Don't run it too long without the alternator belt though, as it will run down the battery.

Does the tone change as you turn the wheel? I have an old Nissan that got a bit low on power steering fluid that made a similar noise. Tone changed when you turned the wheel while parked. New fluid fixed it right up.
