I have just done some research and it would make sense that the bearings in the idler pulley could have gone. Coz they have tightened it, it would make sense that it is being tempermental.
Does this sound about right?
I have took my car into another garage to get this pump done. But they have said the PAS pump is fine and it was the idley pulley which was loose. It was hanging on by a couple of threads. This has now made the noise tempermental. Anyone got any ideas? Could this still be the PAS pump.
They...
Not sure of cost but you will be able to claim back through council/highways agency. I know if you go over a pot hole and damage the car you can claim back.
Does anyone know what these prices are likely to cost from renault at trade price. Taking my car to garage this week and trying to guage the price of parts.

cheers Fred. I will give them a try if i don't get any luck from garages round here.
Just rang renault and they are quoting 250+vat for the part and then 200+vat for labour.
Going to try a few others on monday.
j3ned is it a genuine renault part from you? How do you manage to sell cheaper...
Cheers for your comments. I have paid the £58 to get the car back for the time being as i was stuck without a car. I'm about to write a letter to rac and i think i will add this thread as it is quiet scary.
The garage are charging £398 to replace the pump, seems very steep to me?
Is it...
no it knock's even when idling. They still aren't budging regarding paying out. I am having the car back and i will have to put up with the noise.
They say it is collapsed bearings. If this is left what is the worst will
happen? explode? make me lose control if it happens half way round...
Good evening,
I'm currently in a dispute with my warrenty company. Basically the power steering pump is knocking and is louder than the engine. It still works and they will not pay out coz it hasn't broken down as such, they say it is wear and tear. Surely it isn't. Wear and tear would...
I second that. We had some much trouble getting in places last night coz we were dressed as santa's. We got refused from mirage but luckerly as we were walking away the owner walked out the door and told the bouncer to let us in. HA HA HA.
Did you live in kiddy?
Spotted drinking in mirage nightclub while speaking to a man in a dodgy santa suit,lol. Got so much grief round town last night for wearing that suit. Oh well.
HO HO HO

i have a 2002 172 which has done 36k miles. Once it has warmed up the engine makes a knocking/tapping noise from the engine bay. The sounds is coming from the side where the oil filer cap is (left hand side, next to the belt).
Any ideas to what this could be?

I've just looked at your orginal post. They stole it at 21:15 on a Friday night. That is crazy coz theres so many people about at that time. I know it won't make matters worse but these are worse thiefs in the world.
With your car being so rare and colour the police should pic it up if they...
some people are just plain stupid. What is the point of stealing your car. It is a very rare car which can easierly be spotted and won't be able to sell on without getting caught out. And you've got a gravel drive which is a thiefs worse nightmare. Did the sound of them on the gravel wake your...
