Re: High Pitched Noise from 16v

["Patrick Bureau" <pbureau@home.com>]

I had this on my  car... I tracked it down to the power steering pump, turn
engine on and use carefully a long shaft screwdriver and hold it against the
body of the pump and listen on the handle side, if it is the powersteering
pump you will hear the sound clear as light, also another symptom of a tired
powersteering pump is that the liquid in teh bowl now has brown/black swirls
into it...
