Hi Folks I've just resubscribed to the list, after a period with no van. Needed one with power steering as manual in my 83 camper was just too hard for my over-stressed computer-user arms. So, after approximately a year of searching, I recently bought a 1986 Syncro with hopes of converting it to a camper later. First problem is a groaning sound from the power steering pump. There is plenty of fluid, and no, I haven't done the bleeding procedure, hit it with a hammer, dissasembled it, or anything other than determine that the noise goes away when you remove the belt. I am curious if other list members have had similar noises and what they did about it. Thanks Dan Fleming San Diego |
