It certainly sounds like it's coming from the top pulley. The revs don't seem to be the cause of it stopping. Very odd

And can anyone explain the link to my steering? My wheels are very jumpy when manouvering and the knocking can be eliminated with certain steering wheel movements?the sound certainly sounds like it's NOT coming from the pump....

It's a disturbingly loud knock which is the reason for my concern. Figured if the dephaser gives up so does the cam belt... I clearly don't understand this pulley as I thought it was external device thus making oil changes irrelevant? How much are they does anyone know?

The knock is now very loud... It is coming from dephaser as far as I can tell, it only happens on idle but for some reason a slight amount of load on the steering wheel will elminate it?! This isn't due to revs dropping either... Ideas?!

Yes Dephaser is at the front. Just wondered on whether it will progressively get worse before its dangerous?

My engine is making a slight rattle/knock on idle but phases out as the revs climb. The noise could be decribed as a faint modern diesel sound? Whats the score with these pulleys, do they just give up? as i really cant afford another belt change.... :(

Sup Phil, I'm Hot hatch off the OC. Which one to buy depends completely on why your selling the 106, i sold mine to obtain comfort and fun, so i bought a FF (full fat) 182. I can have a blast in it or i can put cruise and aircon on and relax in my nice seats and be able to see the road with my...

Meh, air gun

Right well, took the bugger apart and i mean literally, pulled it apart (bumper, light etc...) got the new pump on and all back to gether again in 3.5 hours, turned the key, no powersteering.... Oh dear, the pressure relief valve appears to be sitting on the bench.... :mad:

Just got a belt from uni part for £12.50 1661mm hope it's the right one...

Sod it, you dont know how hard it'll be to find £20 a week before christmas... Can i get a 6 rib from a motorfactors? Anyone know the length?

What is the belt length on a 182?

I'll be doing it at a motorsport workshop so fingers crossed i will have what i need. The belt was replaced 2k ago, do i really need to replace it?!

I cant see the alt coming off withough the slam panel off? O well, i'll see...

I have the pump now so i am ready to get going on this. Really would like some tips or advice if there is any? I am assuming slam panel off and maybe bumper and headlight along with arch lining?

Personal preference, personally i think 16's fill the arches nicely.

Anyone else have a view?

Oh brilliant... I just bought it!

I just had mine replaced. The part was £119 from renault! Its a bloody bugger to remove/fit. Is it not your pump thats whining?

Re: just brought myself valver :cool:

90% of the feeling is not speed, its the sensation of speed from the noise

Its not the one from top gear...

As above guys, just need to be sure before i buy a 2nd hand one

So you are insinuating its an easy change? Obviously i am going to spot it fairly quickly unless like i suspect renualt covered it up with various components

It is the pump, went when the steering pipe failed and it ran dry

I've spent 30minutes doing a search with little luck but by all means please delete this if its a duplicate... My powersteering pump whines like a trooper and needs to be changed. I havnt had a chance to examine its location or the difficulty of the job yet so i was wondering if anyone can shed...

You will lose your loyalty by doing that and end up paying more for the new contract

Yes, its belt driven. Mine does it and i have heard a few 1*2's make it

Powersteering pump?
